It was a day originally planned for her wedding. Instead, her fiance left her for someone else.
As she slipped from the ledge, a local worker made his move from the inside of the apartment and was able to wrap his arm around her neck to suspend her body. With the help of other residents, he pulled her back into the apartment.
This young woman's ordeal reminds me that, though I am part of a great and mighty work in this part of the world, there are still deep trenches of hopelessness. And where it (hopelessness) exists, it is consuming, tyrannical and murderous.
