Today has been not a good day. A good friend of ours daughter killed herself. She recently went through a divorce and could not handle the separation. She was 38 years old, a beautiful young woman with a bright future. Sue and I spent time today with the parents as they grieved for their loss. There are no words to describe the sorrow they must feel and also the feeling they could have made a difference had they known the mental deep trouble she was in. The father spent Monday with her and all seemed well and talking with her friends they didn't have a clue anything was wrong either.
I have been depressed lately about a lot of things but when I think of all that I have been blessed with it gives me a reason to go on. Then I think of how pale my problems are compared to others. Sue and I have a child that has some mental problems that keeps him in a mess all the time. We worry about him but we cannot live his life for him. We tried having him live with us and it didn't work for either of us so we had to let him go. He calls often so we know where he is and how he is doing. It is the pain of knowing he is unable to have a normal life as others and wonder what is to become of him.
Then we face the sorrow of this couple today and comfort them as best we can, feeling helpless to ease their pain. Sue and I are blessed in many ways and yet someday fear we too will get that same call. When I go to bed tonight I will pray for their pain and guilt to be taken away. You pray with me please.
