A Suicide

<< < (2/7) > >>

Robin:
jacieleigh,

I went through the same exact thing with my husband 31 years ago.

Please tell your friend there is hope and she will heal.

I've never been through anything worse and I know how horrible it is for her. My prayers go out to all involved. I'm here if she ever wants to talk. We can always look back in hindsight and think there is more we could have done. If we had known we would have done more. We didn't know.

Many hugs to all of you,
MG

Hi JacieLeigh,

I lost my brother not long ago in the very same way. I too have suffered depression and spent many many years living with suicidal thoughts. It is not pleasant and though I am not making excuses, the peace that many find far outways any pain that it might cause. I know my brother suffered badly. I do believe however, that hanging is a very selfish form of suicide, and I would not wish finding a loved one in that way on anyone. I will cerainly pray for your friend.

Your brother in Christ,
Darren

Strong and timely post.  One should focus on that truth of scripture until it sinks deeply into their being so that they realize what God is saying.

I pray for eyes to be opened and peace in their hearts.

Many thaks to all of you who gave me your words of comfort. Tonight was very hard because people came by to pay respects. A couple of times I had to walk away whenI would hear well-meaning people say to her " How are you doing?" Tomorrow evening will be the funeral and it will be hard. I will help her and their daughter as much as I can. Please keep the prayers going.

JacieLeigh,

Be encouraged, God is with you, and time will help to heal the heart.  I lost a brother to suicide also, and it is a hard thing to live through and deal with..!  I pray for God's peace and comfort in this most grievous time.
