A Suicide

<< < (3/7) > >>

LittleBear:
Hi JacieLeigh,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friend. My husband has depression and has had thoughts of suicide. I'm thankful that he is on anti-depressants and is getting councelling help, but there just doesn't seem to be any reason for this, other than unresolved childhood issues that carry on into adulthood. He has a very good sense of humour, but uses humour to hide his feelings and to cover insecurities.

I'm glad you are there for your friend. I'll be thinking about you both today.

Love,

Ursula

 Patrick  your post was inspiring   I will bear my self here.  this is a profound post that you have written   When my son Jon fell off the cliff 70 feet  his main injuries were to his head.  He was hitting his head on the rocks going down.  I went to church one Sundaywhere it happen and a young man came up to me and told me this story.  He also fell a bout 70 or so feet off a cliff and what happen to him was a bum leg and the knowledge of Salvation.  It was terrible at the time hearing this  but later I understood why God allow it, as you stated.  the your post. My heart goes out to this family but right now they are in shock  in about 1 month to 6 weeks, no real time frame,  they will begin to grief  that is the time they will need consolation and help. Compassionate Friends is an organization, or group of griefing people , that helps.  They help me.  please tell this young woman about them for me.  The first step to go there is very hard she will need support if you can maybe you can help her.  I don't mean to tell you what to do but these are nonjudgemental suggestions. God is with us  peggy

Hi Peggy.
It is not I that is comforting this woman (directly); it is JacieLeigh.

My friend laid down on the railroad tracks and then shot herself. A neighbor heard the shot and went to where he thought it came from and found her.
The fact that she wanted a train to run over her, after she shot herself, is what is really disturbing to her family. They know my beliefs and I'll be the best friend I can be from 900 miles away.

The funeral was last evening. It was awful and I guess good too. Many things were said that brought comfort but nothing can take the nightmare away. My friend is not sleeping so I am not sleeping much either. I got her to sleep about 4 hrs. Tues. night and she slept about 5 hrs. last night. She woke up with his pillow in her arms and immediately was devastated again when she realized she would never hold him again. She doesn't understand why and I don't either. I told her she would go through every emotion from sadness to anger. I told her that no matter what anyone else says, she will have to grieve and have her period of mourning in her own way. I told her I will be here whenever she needs me.

You are a good friend, JacieLeigh.
