StaceyinLA Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 One of our local home school families lost their son last week to suicide. They are devastated. Please remember them in your prayers. Also, my niece's husband's aunt lost her son to suicide about 5 years ago, and last week lost her daughter to a heroin overdose. She has threatened to take her own life and is on suicide watch. Please keep their family in your prayers also, as they are really struggling with this. I didn't think a year could start off any worse than 2016 did, but 2017 is quickly proving to be right up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teresa in MO Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I will be praying. I lost my older brother to suicide 5 years ago and their is still a wide range of emotions. When I lost my dh suddenly last September, for the first time I felt anger that my brother chose to hurt his family like that when my dh didn't have a choice. If that makes sense. My SIL went through alot, but is doing good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) I'm so sorry. Teen suicide is a large problem where I live. There were multiple teen deaths by suicide in the past three weeks. It is so difficult to understand, especially when it is said that the person had no known issues. It is so hard to process and scary when it keeps happening in one area. Edited March 3, 2017 by SJ.

StaceyinLA Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Thank you all. I can't imagine the pain, and am sorry for those of you who have experienced similar losses. I just hurt so much for these mommas (and the rest of the families too, of course). Edited March 6, 2017 by StaceyinLA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
