Prayers requested for barker. She lost her husband today

Posted on 04/20/2006 6:36:36 PM PDT by trussell


 


 


 

I need prayer very badly

Today my husband died from a self-inflected gunshot wound to the head. He had a lot of medical problems and was suffering from severe depression. We will never know what demons were in his head that drove him to this.

Our two sons and his daughter desperately need prayers to help them through this. I have seen the power of FReeper prayer and it is awesome.

This just happened today and reality hasn't sunk in yet.

Many thanks
barker

The same thing happened to a good friend. It was NOT your fault.

In the meantime, prayers for peace and comfort. God bless your family.

You and your children will be in my prayers.

My Dad killed himself in 1981 and it took me awhile to arrive at a level of acceptance. I learned during that period God has strong shoulders to handle the strong emotions we survivors feel.

First of all I want to thank trussell for posting this thread for me. I just couldn't do it myself.

My sons are young men and the older one has taken charge and made many phone calls I just couldn't do myself. His daughter has her own family and is on her way here now. She was always Daddy's little girl.

Right now we are still in shock but when that wears off all of the prayers here will give us great comfort. I know FReepers are wonderful but I can't believe the response and I want to thank each and every one of you for your kind words.

Bless, O God of eternal life,
all who have died
by their own hand.
Grant them peace
from their inner turmoil
and the compassion of your love.
Comfort those who mourn
their loved ones.
Strengthen them to face the questions of pain,
the guilt and anger,
the irreparable loss.
Help us to reach out in love
to others who prefer death
to the choices of life
and to their families who grieve.
Amen.
