May rest eternal and the peace of light and love be with Quin. Thank you for sharing this. I know what such care and effort costs our hearts. I just fought for two years to get my mentally son out of a brutal jail situation with a possible 4 year prison term. He was told he should take the deal, that he wouldn’t get better. Finally he is in a treatment program, where he’s needed to be. He was shot at close range in the back 4 times, mortally wounded, and lost internal organs. His shooter, a trained military gun specialist, used what amounts to a CA stand-your-ground law from the 19th century to justify this action against a delusional, unarmed man seeking help in his disorientation. Our justice system is in need of people who care for inmates and also advocate for deep reform. I had to fight hard from the other side of the continent. Holding on to hope was one of the most difficult emotional tasks of my life. I’m grateful to read how Quin gained a sense of being a significant human, unconditionally cared for as he faced death. Blessings to all who were present to him and supported his dignity.
I am so sorry the execution was carried out, and embarrassed that this country still does such a thing. Sending love and healing energy to you and to all those who fought for his life. I hope that his story and your efforts will continue to have an impact on our "justice" system. Thank you for sharing his story and yours.
I am grateful you shared Quin’s story and gave us the opportunity to contribute to fight for him. It breaks my heart to know he did not get justice. Because of your efforts, Quin left us with dignity, love, respect and hope knowing the fight for justice has begun. Ahhh and the song, “I’ll Fly Away,” 💔💔💔-
I have lived and worked as a white woman pastor in a Black community for most of my 40 years as a pastor. In that time, i have loved many Black men and women and their families facing injustices, sometimes with better results than this, often not. I have grown in my ability to be an ally, in recognizing how my skin privileges me, in not taking that for granted. We’ll keep needing to come back to this place of grief until we can stand together to force the systems to change. May his memory empower us. Rest in power, Quin. Thank you, Suleika.
Oh no. How could I have hoped that love would prevail? Maybe because I see it in you and in the Isolation Journals project. I am so sorry. Thank you for being.
