Prayer Request for my Family Upon the Death of my Daughter
12/3/2015 | Rfreedom4u

Posted on 12/03/2015 7:26:06 PM PST by rfreedom4u

In the past I have posted regarding my wife's mental illness and the tough times we have endured because of it. Now I am devastated to tell you all that our 19 year old daughter took her own life on November 23rd. She was diagnosed as bi-polar and was very distraught over her best friend's suicide last year.

I've never had to go through anything near this bad and I pray none of you ever do. The loss of one's child is beyond horrendous. So far we've been doing ok but there are periods of extreme grief out of the blue and many tears. She was laid to rest this past Monday.

I ask that anyone who is willing to please pray for my daughter and my entire family.

This is something we will never get over. But we will have to deal with the circumstances. It didn't seem real when the police chaplain told us. All week it seemed as though we were living in a fog. A torrent of tears came when we were finally able to see her body at the funeral home. Even now, as I type this I am in tears for her. I know that she is now free from her earthly pains and hurts. Lord, I was not ready for her to go to You but I must accept it. Please take care of her soul and give those of us she left behind the strength to handle the sorrow and grief.

Oh dear, heart rending. To me grief is the worst emotion humans can feel, it numbs the soul almost to the depths of despair. Prayers to you and your family.

Don’t have adequate words for you. Just this - Be strong for one another.

You also have other family, including your FRiends, to lean on.

I cannot imagine the pain you are enduring.

I will pray for you and your family.

I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. My daughter made an attempt one night. The feeling of utter helplessness and despair as I found her on the bathroom floor cannot be described.

Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Many sources of support are here for you.

My eyes well up reading this. For the peace that transcends all understanding, for the courage and strength to make it through each day, and for the Lord’s grace and love upon you and your family.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I honestly cannot imagine your pain, nor do I think there are any words that can lighten that pain. We can only pray for the Lord to give you and your family comfort and strength as you try to absorb and bear this burden. You certainly have my prayers. God Bless you all.
