[Southernscotty]

Thank you so much guys I am so much in shock. He called me yesterday and said he needed groceries and I said I will come take you to town and he said ok but come early so we can be back before it gets hot. I said ok and so we talked awhile and everything was fine, I left at a little after 6 am this morning and on the way I called him but I got the answering machine and I said I was running a little late because it was so foggy and would be there as soon as possible. I got there and the door was unlocked so I went in and I was hollering Dad I am here and when I heard the answering machine still beeping I knew immediately something was wrong. I ran to the bedroom where I found him and he had just sat down and taken his glasses off and placed his pistol in his mouth and pulled the trigger. I called 911 and as I waited I saw on the table his little grocery list and at the bottom, He had written the Sheriffs office number down.
Dad was a hard corps vietnam vet that had a couple of tours in vietnam, When he got home from that awful place, He was spit on and had rocks thrown at him and called a baby killer.
Guys I don't understand and everything is upside for me. I am alone in this as him and I have no one else to help me. The cops told me that I had to clean up myself and haul off the bed and clean the carpets and I just can't stand this, I don't wanna even go back in that room again. I don't know what to do, Please continue to pray

Dear Scotty
I cannot say words that fit how you must be feeling in this tragedy. I send my my deepest condolences and my love. May you find peace in the midst of this storm. May the love of our Heavenly Father hold you and comfort you in this your time of deep sorrow.

 

[JustRachel]

I have prayed and I'm in tears for you. It won't be easy, but, God can bring you some comfort. I wish I could say/do more than just post here. Please call on your church family. They would want you to do this. I believe there are companies you can call to deal with the room.

God have mercy! I'm sooooooo sorry Scotty. What a horror of a situation. Praying that God strengthens and sustains you through this trauma and that His grace supersedes all of the added trauma, and that God sends His own to help you during this. father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen (((hug)))

Continued prayers for you dear brother. There are companies you can call to clean up. You really shouldn't have to do that right now. I'm so sorry.

If you need any help, pm me and I'll help you look for someone near you, if you want.

Please do call on your Church community.

We went through this with a step-son. It is so hard to understand and such a shock, but know that you could not have prevented it, and you are not the cause of it. Hang in there Scott and lean on your faith, our Loving Father is right there with you.

Guys; God bless you all from the bottom of my heart. You are family to me.
I just got back, After I sent the last message, I went back to his house and drug out the mattress and cleaned up. It was horrible but I didn't know what to do so, I just done it. Then I came back and see that all of you have answered with help, [I Should've waited a little bit] and I do appreciate this so.. I wish I would have done what you all recommended and had someone else do it, But the police didn't tell me about that? I don't understand and I am at a loss as to why I have been hit so hard spiritually, As some of you know, My wife divorced me because the ministry was to much for her and some other terrible things I don't want to mention happened as well, And now this today, Why am I hit so hard for trying to do right ??????? I loved my Daddy so much.

Why? Because this old world is wearing thin and you have just been hit by the worst thing a human being can be hit with, aside from divorce and it appears you’ve been through that too.

There’s no good reason for any death and horrible loss. There’s no real antidote. There’s Just mourning and clinging to Christ and Us, your Spiritual Family!

Seriously! We’re here to share your burden, although it is beyond comprehension!

You are so dearly Loved Scott! Cling to Christ’s Love and know this is going to be a rollercoaster for you.

GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

All of My Love to You, Brother in Him.

 

[Humble me Lord]

You know what that tells me brother? You are walking on the right path, the one our Heavenly Father has planned for you. It seems when we are on that narrow path, is when we are hit the hardest, by the ruler of this fallen world, to try and alter our course, to lose our faith.
Be strong, keep your faith. I know you have added to His Kingdom, the work you do is so desperately needed, to reach the lost.

Isaiah 41:10 ;
Fear thou not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

 

[Emily Foster]

I’m so sorry for your loss, Scotty. I’m praying that God will surround you and your family with His love, comfort and strength at this difficult time. Grace and peace to you!

 

[sunshineforJesus]

I am so sorry and will be praying for you.
