From the page of a homeless blogger: "for homeless people, the amount of sadness and anger they feel is so extreme that they are unable to overcome it. The key lies in the human event of loss. Again, every person experiences loss in their life, but in surveys I have seen first hand, homeless people experience many more loss events in their lives than other people. Also, for a great many of the homeless, opportunities to learn loss coping skills are rare. And, the types of loss homeless people face are usually more severe. Divorce is very common as the straw the broke the camels back, so is the death of a loved one, especially a child. Also is the loss of a healthy childhood, due to abuse. But the loss events run the whole gambit of negative experiences. The inability to cope with these problems ushers in all sorts of coping attempts by the soon to be homeless person. They begin taking drugs and drinking alcohol. And often, under the duress of these issuesm a person may become ill, physically and/or mentally. But these coping attempts only exacerbate the problems the person experiences, and their lives collapse. It is not long after this collapse that people begin to lose their jobs, their friends and family, and eventually their homes."
