This thread is not for the faint hearted or those who've never had this experience of losing someone to suicide. Whether it's a family member or someone you know.
What biblical advice would you give to people who are facing situations like this that you've learned gives hope for people feeling this way.
One of my friends lost her second cousin, he took his life, and she'd lost her brother only three years ago in a tragedy. How do you get through a loss like this.
I did not know her family, the deceased was only 25 and it seemed like he was one of those lost boys. Without God. He had a brother and a sister. The parents are taking it hard. At the funeral, the preacher or celebrant said if you feeling like this tell someone, apparently none of his friends or family really knew what turmoil he was going through.
How can you prevent suicide. Is it a curse? Is it glorified in today's culture for the young?
What can christians do apart from praying of course, to stop others from following this road. What tools can we show young people. To not give up. High expectations seem to be a contributing cause, not knowing there's hope and that you don't have to do everything yourself cos Jesus is there is another. Anything else?
