Delilah has a big radio audience, largely female. Her show is perhaps trivial, mostly love songs. I am sorry to hear of her loss.

Why, why, why?

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.

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.

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?

I must dwell beyond ‘far and wide’, never heard of her.

Agree. I can’t imagine the pain that family must feel right now. How very, very sad...........;(

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.

Just before the end, “He was doing so well,” she says. “He was looking forward to making up his missed credits, graduating and starting film school......Counter-intuitively, many suicides show some dramatic improvement just before completing the act - it's as though they regain some of their energy and ability to focus their efforts which then carries them forward to what they've been contemplating for a long time - a very sad case.....

Too bad he couldn’t have understood, we are not of this world. Possibly, he could have dealt with his feelings of the same, had he realized we’re all in the same boat and this is simply a proving ground.

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven. Especially those most in need of thy mercy. Amen.

Glad she is taking a leave of absence. She has joined a group of us that no other should join. No parent should bury a child. It is not the natural order of life.

Loss grief from suicide is rough...so much false guilt to deal with. Her journey will be long, and will be never ending. We do not fully heal from our loss. With faith and support, however, we do come to a life filled again with peace and purpose!

God Bless, Delilah. You are in the thoughts and prayers of many.
