Next to Normal is the Tony-Award winning stage musical about a family trying to cope with the ups and downs of having a loved one in the throes of mental illness. It mixes equal parts of pathos and dark comedy to narrate the tragedy of losing someone you love little by little until the familiar is all but replaced by the unrecognizable.
Frightening news, in itself. And I didn't even have to see a glimpse of GMA-7 News' sensationalist coverage of it to freak me out. A couple more minutes on that channel would drive me nuts. A friend of mine is suggesting I should be embarrassed to admit trying to empathize with crisis victims. That is another emotion I am very much accustomed to. Just as well, I admit to be friends with him despite his solemn respect for Deepak Chopra.
Theists think that secularists who grew up from broken families associate their secularism or atheism with that experience. That common misconception has been the reason why this was created.

Atheists and agnostics have the lowest divorce rate at all.
