As a community we are heart broken for the loss of Rubi Perez. During this time please be kind to all involved in this tragedy. The family needs prayers for their heartbreak and profound loss. The 1st responders need compassion for the scene they witnessed as well as the difficulties they will continue to face with the investigation. Friends and fellow students are struggling with pain and loss without her presence.
Our community always comes together during these times as we should. Should anyone need emotional support during this critical and sad time reach out to community resources for help.
Here are some Crisis trained resources: Center for Counseling, Heart of Kansas, Avenues for Change, Vision Quest, Willow Tree, as well as all of us at Passages of Hope Counseling Center.
🙏🏻 for all involved..

Playing Tetris after a traumatic event may help reduce intrusive memories and alleviate symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder. Studies suggest playing Tetris within a few hours of trauma exposure for at least 20 minutes can interrupt memory formation and reduce flashbacks. To use Tetris as a tool for trauma interventions you need to act quickly (play Tetris within six hours of the traumatic event), keep it simple (download Tetris in advance for easy access), and combine tools (use Tetris along with other mental health interventions for best outcomes). Tetris visuospatial tasks occupy the brain's resources, interfering with the consolidation of traumatic memories. Playing the game is so visually stimulating and requires both hands so it makes it harder for you to form permanent visual memories of what you have experienced or witnessed.

If you have ever worn the uniform, loved someone who has or just want to understand what we carry – come watch. One afternoon. One conversation. It could save a life.

When you truly love your spouse, there's no space in your heart for anyone else. You don't entertain other people - not even casually. There are no secret attachments, no hidden interests. You don't flirt, you don't seek attention, and you don't allow yourself to be emotionally available to anyone else.
Because real love isn't just about physical faithfulness- it's about guarding your heart, thoughts, and intentions. It's about choosing your spouse, again and again, even in the quiet moments when no one's watching.
Loyalty isn't measured when everything is easy. It's revealed in the small, everyday decisions - the quiet acts of respect, the boundaries you uphold, and the way you honor the love and commitment you vowed to protect.
