our dad died

[Lily76_]

We lost of our dad he killed himself last Saturday. our mum is devastated but coping well.
We dont know why our dad did this , its something that we will never know.
We are trying to make arrangements for the funeral and his cremation.
We arent coping so well we have self injured once but feel like we need to do it again all of us feel like its a nightmare and we are in so much shock from it .
Our father has tried to kill himself twice before but that was years ago.
He was depressed but had went to the drs the day before and was to pic up the meds that day , but something must have been telling him to do this something told him to kill himself .
what it was we will never know
We just miss him so much

We haven't prayed since he died ...don't know why ...just haven't

 

[Criada]

Others are praying for you.
It can be hard to pray when you are so upset and don't understand.
God knows what you're feeling, and he is holding you, even when you don't feel him with you.

We all have to grow and deal with our thoughts. We have to decide what is acceptable and what isn't. How do we view things like suicide? Being tempted of suicide myself when I was a teenager, I thought about this for awhile seeking how I felt about committing such an act. I found peace in realizing that it was cowardliness to not keep believing and trying which did not appeal to me. I counted it as sin, to be avoided. Making my mind up about this at an early age has helped me through some huge depressions and in which I still have to face. I love my family and have to also help guide them in prayer through tough times. Suicide is an accident of character. We should love each other and forgive as always. Obeying (seriously obeying) the teachings and commands of Jesus is extremely helpful to have a nature of life and hope, not to mention joy & peace within horror, shame, doubtfulness and uncertainty. May God be your center and Christ your heart.

I am so sorry to hear this. Suicide is always difficult to deal with. So many questions. I am sorry that you can't pray at the moment - but you will again, sometime. For now, just try to look after yourselves, just as Jesus would. Be tender with yourselves, and hold each other. I am praying for you.
