Requesting prayer. Tragedy in our family today.

My sister called me just a few hours ago.  Her son committed suicide today.  She is in need of your prayers. I am concerned about my mother, too.  This was her first born grandchild.  She will take it hard.  She is quite elderly and doesn't know yet.  Being Christmas, she had a big day yesterday and today so she went to bed early. We will be telling her tomorrow morning.  We would greatly appreciate your prayers. My heart is breaking for my sister.

@jubilant...I am so very sorry. My son committed suicide as well. There are really no words to explain the pain you and your loved ones are dealing with. (((Hugs))).

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.

How horribly sad!  I will certainly pray for peace and comfort for all of you!  

 

Ironic that my DS told me just today about a HS classmate that took his own life.  My heart aches for your sister.

I, too, know this pain. My son was 21. 

It is an unfathomable loss.

 

My sincere condolences to you and your family.

 

FYI I attend a grief meeting called The Compassionate Friends. It was for parents who have lost a child ( any age). Meetings throughout the world. Google it. It was very beneficial for me.
