Suicide @ 21!!!!:(

I just found out today that a friend’s son commited suicide :(. I don’t really know them that well…more like aquantances but the news is just so tradgic. He was only 21 :( He had some difficulties with depression and some mental issues which lead to this horrible day for his family. He told his Mom he was going outside to have a smoke…she asked him not too…to stay inside with her. She fell asleep on the couch and woke up to his abcense. She went outside to find him and found him hanging in the garage. Despite her efforts….she couldn’t get him down. He was cold and already gone. His Dad cut him down….then they had to wait 4 hours for the coranor while thier son lay in the cold snowy driveway.

I hate that these things always happen around Christmas. I mean…I know NO time is a good time to lose a loved one but around Christmas just makes it so much more tradgic.

Please say a prayer for this family……pray God won’t punish him for taking his own life. Sorry to write about something so depressing. When you have children….those things just hit home…ya know?

    I am so sorry to hear about it. I will keep this family in my prayer. I don’t think God will punish him for it, I am sure he will take him in to his arms and welcome him to heaven.

    That is so sad. I cannot imagine what the mother is going through. I hate to hear of people so young losing their life so early. My prayers are with him and the family.

    That is brutal. I feel for his family, my family has lost a loved one (young boy) to suicide as well… it is a very difficult thing to handle.

    Provide your friend with as much support as possible right now, she is going to need it.

    Sorry to hear…that is just so sad. I’ve never understood this new found fascination with suicide in my generation..
    My hubby’s younger brother is 15 and he’s in the crowd that thinks it’s cool to slit your wrists, say you’re going to kill yourself, etc and it drives me insane. That kid has absolutely nothing to be depressed about! He has a loving family, gets anything he could ever want, practically… yet they still act like that….

    It’s hard to say what was in his heart and his head. I have had a person close to me kill himself, and it is very difficult to deal with, so I will also pray for their family, and for him. Hope you are taking care of yourself as well.
