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

Dear barker,

May our Lord Jesus lift you and your family up and hold you close in His bossom.
I pray God will take away the horror in your mind and give you peace.
I pray also that the Lord Jesus will bless the minds of your children and take away their horrors as well.
God be with you always barker.

Much love in Christ,
Kristin

link in suicide and depression medication

There is a big link and this country has to wake up to it.
Lost my daughter in law 2 years ago, depression medication involved.
Please write your Senators to have these drug companies investigated, some senators are working on this. These drug companies make billions on one drug alone.

I pray that you and your children may feel the warm arms of Jesus wrapped around you, holding you close to Him.
And may God put many angels in your paths in the days to come - you are not alone, ever.

You are in my prayers.

This is tragic. Often though, people that take this course of action want to spare you pain. It's hard to understand ... you were not the cause of his demons and it's not your fault.

Many prayers your way.

WHISPERS FROM HEAVEN

They say that life is fleeting I know that this is true
I left this world so quickly With no goodbye to you.

I know how much you miss me Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head Is wet with them at night.

I know your heart is hurting The words we left, unsaid
I love you's, left unspoken Are spinning in your head.

The strength that I have carried That served to make you
whole Remains to make you stronger Within your grieving soul.

For you see, while you were weeping On the day I passed
away At the gravesite near the flowers Where my loved
ones knelt to pray.

An angel came to see me She took me by the hand
She led me to a kingdom In a very distant land.

As I look down from heaven And see you standing there
Your heart so ever burdened With more grief than it can bear.

I long to bring you comfort I long to give you peace I long
to hold you closely Cause all your tears to cease.

The joy I've found in heaven Goes far beyond compare
The love that's so elusive Can be found here everywhere.

The light is softly shining There's no storm clouds here or
rain There's no teardrops found in heaven There's no suffering,
there's no pain.

You needn't be so troubled Stay close to God and pray
That someday we'll be together One bright and glorious day.

So my love, you shouldn't question My dear you need not cry
I've gone to be with Jesus I really didn't die.

Dear, Dear Barker

Please know you are not alone. Many are praying for you and your heavenly Father is right beside you.

I can kind of understand what you are going through right now. We had two uncles within 6 months. Please, please don't second guess yourself. Afterword's, we went through bad times thinking we should have seen the signs.
You could not have done anything anyway. If he was in that much pain you could not have stopped it.

Hindsight is also 20/20. Please just know he is out of his pain. Know he would not have done anything to hurt you if he had of been himself.

I pray for peace, comfort and yes, joy. Joy that you will remember the good times and all he meant to you. You are in my prayers dear one and your family also. I know how hard this is for you.

You will get through it. God is right beside you. Lean on Him, He wants you to.
