GUNS AND DEMENTIA
My husband, Kevin, was hunting with his dad on 1-7-16 and his dad accidently shot Kevin, but being prideful and having dementia, he lied and the Sheriff closed case EVEN after coroner said no way he could of shot himself with the injuries and also a forensic specialist I hired for $4,000.00 agreed. Fred moved both guns and rabbit before Sheriff came.
Apparently this is no big deal for the Sheriff Department. Since I have been fighting 8 months for justice and getting no where. I have changed my goal to making awareness of guns and dementia. Do you know that 20 percent of gun owners are over 65 and 11 percent of them have dementia. Do you guys have any ideas, how I can start awareness, campaigns, or walks to help people understand this growing problem. I need to become productive in my grief as I will never get justice in this county. Ruthie

Has Kevin's dad actually been officially diagnosed with dementia? If so, or if you are able to legally make a medical and mental health exam/diagnosis occur, I would think you have a fair chance of at least having his guns removed from his home.

Fred has not been diagnosed yet, but the Sheriff did not return my calls. My daughter and I are seeing my lawyer tomorrow to see if we can file a wrongful death claim. I really do not want to as I am exhausted emotionally, but she wants to see Fred and the Sheriff to have some accountability with the new findings.

I understand being exhausted; maybe your daughter can handle most of it.

My Fathers Loss
Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child
I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
