The tragic news of a suicide does not close a chapter in the lives of relatives and friends; it opens one – a chapter of mixed feelings of anger, sadness, sorrow and guilt. Only God can fully understand the role of mental sickness, extreme stress/anxiety, addictions and fear in a “suicidal crises”, which is not a “lifetime characteristic but often a matter of only minutes or of hours.”
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I well know the thought that I am thinking toward you, declares Jehovah,” “thoughts of peace, and not of calamity to give you a future and a hope.”
SEE THE WARNING SIGNS: wanting to die, feeling empty or hopeless, talking about guilt and shame, someone feeling trapped or feeling there is no solutions, feeling unbearable pain whether physical and/or emotional, addictions to drugs and alcohol…if you know someone who needs help, reach out…NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION 1-800-273-TALK
