Why, why, why?
Ahem
sad. I can relate to some of his thinking.
i wish he had found it in himself to hang in longer or found people to help him understand why this world didn’t feel like home instead of just checking out.
God has plans if we hang in and trust Him instead of believing the replaying tapes in our own minds or wrong words from others.
“...God has plans if we hang in and trust Him instead of believing the replaying tapes in our own minds or wrong words from others.”
Unfortunately some people are so paralyzed by depression that they do not have the where with all to hang in there and trust God. My husband’s sister hung herself at the age of 28 and it still haunts us nearly 33 years later.
I know so many people who suffer from depression and a feeling they don’t belong. I wish there was a solution. I think a lot of it is living their lives isolated. People disappear into their phones or tablets, nobody is present anymore.
It is so important to just hang in there. Everything changes. Sadness and brokenness can become peace and love tomorrow. In time we will all die. No need to rush it. Wait and see what tomorrow will bring.
My brother killed himself at age 23. This was December 30th, 1989.
The “why?” still haunts. What drives one to put a 12 gauge shot gun in their mouth in the middle of the night?
Just found out an ex girlfriend did herself in early Sunday morning. Permanent solution for a temporary problem.
I must dwell beyond ‘far and wide’, never heard of her.
Delilah has a big radio audience, largely female. Her show is perhaps trivial, mostly love songs. I am sorry to hear of her loss.
Agree. I can’t imagine the pain that family must feel right now. How very, very sad...........;(
She’s this NPR-voiced woman who talks soothingly to (almost entirely) women who call into her syndicated commercial radio show with their emotional concerns and issues, and plays sappy music like Celine Dion and Air Supply by request to make them feel better.
That sounds awful and at times it is, but at times it can be oddly magnetic, too. Sort of like NPR itself is, I suppose. The horror is only evident once you break free and can see it in hindsight.
I’ve never heard of her but I sympathize. Our family lost a 20 yr old earlier this year to depression-related suicide. It’s a nightmare... A true lesson in “bad things don’t just happen in “bad” families.”
A person can have all the right drugs, all the right doctors, support groups and unfailing love and support ... and a deep unreachable pain. No one, no drugs can fix it. Please just pray for the person who completed and their family. Don’t judge.
“...That “haunting” never leaves....”
You keep wondering if there was anything you could have said or done that would have made them change their minds. I worked with a Social Worker whose 10 year old daughter killed herself. Her mom was busy trying to fix other broken children that she was left in the lurch. It was truly heart breaking.

“mom of 13” Wait, what??
“...(one of her three biological children, the other 10 were welcomed through adoption).”
