Dear Paco,
Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear of your loss. You are on a roller coaster of emotions and will be for quite awhile.

You will never truly know here on earth just what this young woman was thinking, but if you keep your eyes on the Lord, he will guide you through the days ahead.

You will experience great depths of grief, followed by times of calm, then grief again.. But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Here in this forum we look out for each other and understand the emotions you are feeling more than others can. Do not feel ashamed to pour your emotions out to those around you who care.

The best thing you can do for yourself and your family is to go for grief counseling. Talk to your pastor, or to those around you for a person to go to. It will help you tremendously.

For now, brother, we will pray for you and we are here for you.

Paco- First let me say that God doesn't work that way. God has a plan for us all, but ending our own lives has never been and will never be His will. We can only imagine what she must have been going through to arrive at such a decision. As far as your feelings go, I ask that you look to our Father in Heaven, not no much for the answer to the "Why", but for Him to provide you peace about it. Always remember that He loves you, that He has walked a mile in your shoes. Our Lord came to this earth, lived as both man and as diety. He understands what you are feeling. When he went to the tomb of Lazurus, he wept. Though her decision has caused grief and sadness in your life, remember that you have a purpose, a purpose in His Kingdom. He will sustain you my friend and someday we'll sit at His feet and understand the "Why". For now, I pray for you. That He provides you with the peace that I personally felt when my wife passed from this life. Press On my brother.

Paco,

The God we serve is a God of miracles and love. Love would never tell a person to kill themselves. Most likely, she was listening to another voice.

I am sorry for your loss, but you need to know that it was not God who told her that.

My ex-boyfriend died from an overdose of heroin. I found him dead on the bathroom floor. For a long time, I feel very guilty about his death. However, I finally had to admit that it was not my fault.

Some things just happen in this life. We have to forgive those who do them. And, also forgive ourselves. Sometimes we need to forgive God for what we thought He did.

The devil is clever. He goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. He came to kill, steal, and destroy. Jesus came to bring LIFE.

Bless you, Paco. May the Father help you as you process these feelings you're experiencing.

Ann
