Sorry to hear about the lady, but maybe if someone had intervened and helped her it wouldn't have ended the way it did.  |

I thought about this a lot. When things were getting really bad around my house, with my brother and all, I just wanted all the pain n hurt to end. Thats when I looked over my life and said, this is what I'll leave behind, this is who I'm going to hurt. If I were to take my life right now, I'd never have the chance to finish highschool, go onto college, get my first real job, get married, have kids etc. And I have a bf that I know will do ne thing for me and I love him to DEATH, and thats the one thing that would hurt me the most, knowing that I have so many people that love me and I'd lose them if I were to kill myself. Sometimes, when it gets really rough around here, I still think about it, then everything just flashes before me and reality slaps me in the face n says "Sarah! stop this, rember what your going to lose and who your going to hurt!" Im glad that I've never fully succeeded with it. And now Im slowly getting better. Good post, proves a great point :-) *huggs* >>  |

It is sad, it's sad that people nowadays are so self involved that they aren't willing to be inconvenienced to help someone else out. |

It is so sad when people get to the point that death is a better option than keeping on living. None of us ever know EXACTLY what is going on in the minds of those who succeeded in suicide, nor do we know that last desparate feeling they feel, but we DO know about the people who love them are left behind to pick up the pieces. I am so sorry to hear about this woman, but like you, why didnt someone see her slip so far into depression? Why didnt her people question the money being given more in depth, didnt they think she would NEED this money to live on? Her giving a substansial sum of money away like that would send red flags up in most peoples minds... Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with this family, and with those two babies who are now motherless..  So sad  |

I've been in this situation...with myself...and believe me.....I thought there was no other way out......but thankfully there was....I am glad now that I didn't do anything...because I look at my girls now 20 and 23 and think.....what would have happened to them....how would it have affected their lives.......and I often wonder what people would have thought everytime they saw my girls.....would they have been refered to the girls whose mom killed herself.....I don't know...but probably........and it does leave unanswered questions..a.s we went through this with my one daughters friends who did kill himself backin June of this year...and there are a lot of what if's......  |

It Saddens me so Much!, Gail that No one could see her depression...She and Her Husband was supposed to have bought a new home with the money she gave to her family...when this friend said they mentioned at the young lady's memorial serice that they were so sorry for the family's loss...all the person said was...that it made 3 now...That One of Her Brother's and a Step-Dad took their lives, also...I Couldn't believe that!...I Wish Someone who really knew her would have done something to have Intervened....it just doesn't make sense!....Paddy Bear...I Am Soooooo Glad You Are HERE!!!! And You Are My PRECIOUS Sister!!!!....Yes there has to be a great deal of "What If's" When I think about this young woman...I think about what If Someone had Helped her....What If she would have left taking her children....Life sometimes is Going to have it's ups and downs...We just Have To Roll With It, ....Keep On Smiling...Keep On Going...Because A New Day Is Just Up Ahead!...I think about what will be happen to this Young woman's Children now...How this is Affecting them....There Are No Easy Answers to some of the Pain that Comes in to Our Lives...But We Do Have CHOICES....Our Choices Can Not Only Affect us...but they affect others close to us as well....God Bless....T/C |

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of her family and friends...it's never easy dealing with death little lone suicide being the reason of the death. My family was touched by suicide...my son's friend since first grade committed suicide at the age of 15 last Nov...we've talked (my son and myself) and tried to underdstand the whys of it, but it seems at times the answers to those questions never really come to those left behind....I look at my kids and think of what gifts they are in my life. I think some people just can't see things ever getting better and the pain engulfs them and becomes so overwhelming that to end that pain is to end their life....It's so sad they can't seek help or maybe they feel they are beyound help ....Who's to say what the reason is behind their choice...Again I'm sorry for her family and friends for their loss is great....  |

When I lost my Husband...All The Pain I endured, The Grief, Almost Unbearable..Even So, Never did I once think about taking my life..BUT I did ask God "Why"...and I did Ask Him "Why" Did He Leave Me Here..One evening, I was watching this Minister on TV And He discussed The Ways Of God Being Similar to that of Our Parents when we were Children ....There Are Things That We Want and Would Like To Do....Our Parents; Know What Is Best For us, Even Though We Think We Know What Is....So We Question The Wisdom And Sometimes The Authority of Our Parents When We Ask Why...Why Can't We Do This, Or That...Why Is This Or Why Is That..Then Our Parents Will Say..."Because I Said so",While I Was Listening To this Minister or Evangelist On The Subject The Lord and Of "Why" And "What If's"...He Said...He Realized God Is Much Like Our Human Parents...Yet He Loves Us Even More....So I Realized When I Asked God "Why"...He Doesn't Have To Give Me The Answers I Want Right Now....Because He Is God...Because He Loves Me...All Of Us And "Because He Said So" and This Is Good Enough For Me...I also know if it is His Will He will Reveal to me In His Own Time "Why" I Am Here...."Why" I Happened To Not Go With My Husband That Day and Maybe Someday He will Tell me Why He Chose To Take My Husband Home....
It is In this Lesson, I Finally Found Peace With My Husband's Death..
I Also try to see the Humor in Some things and When I think about It Now, When I had Questioned the "Why" God Allowed me to still be here and like Our Parents..He more then likely Also Said >>> "Now Don't Ask Me any More Silly Questions" >>>>It is One Thing For God to Call Our Loved Ones Home In His Time.....But It Is Something Altogether Different To Choose To Take Your Own Life....Aren't we in a sense trying to Play "God" ?? When In My Opinion This Is God's Business...This Is His Will, Not Ours....God Bless....T/C |
