Each year disabled people are murdered by caregivers and family members. This is called in the disabled community filicide. Coming up is March 1st the disability day of mourning where folk mourn the lost of people who've died this way. Here is a link to a list of folk who died last year:
2021 Deaths – Disability Day of Mourning
The same site has deaths from the 1980s to the present. I read every story on there except the most recent ones from last year. I don't know if I can stomach it to catch up and read last year's. I do not advise doing what I did last March reading so many stories in one or two sittings hardly any break. I started feeling numb after a while. The category section just for babies that were killed on the site that died is 20 pages long on my phone. Not all of those was recent as in recent years. In recent times tho about 1 disabled person is murdered by caregivers each week.
I may or may not depending on how I feel write a poem in dedication later.
