I wonder just how bad he thought he messed up and in reality how bad it truly was?
I have known people who took their life and had down times myself but I don’t know how people can get to the point of actually acting on it in a way with a few seconds before impact and no way to try to change your mind and stop.
I imagine God is with them in those seconds, just as He is available every second for everyone while alive.
Whatever he did it couldn’t have been as bad as committing suicide when you have six kids.
There was a guy a while back who jumped from the Golden Gate bridge and survived. He said his first thought was instant regret that he had jumped.
I lost a good and dear friend, a man I called and loved as a brother, a couple years ago. Alcohol got him to the point. When he was sober, he was a different person. When he was drunk, he was all about it. Finally succeeded on Memorial Day of 2022. Strung himself up in his workshop. EMT's got him back a couple times, but he was so drunk, his lungs wouldn't keep working. Toxicology said he was over 3 times the legal limit.
A few years ago, I read about a guy who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge. And survived. The instant after he jumped off, he felt huge regret. He had the feeling that God was there in that moment.
