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

Please accept my condolences. I have a close friend whose Husband did the same thing about a year ago - it was devastating to everyone involved.

I will hold you up in prayer tonight that God gives you the spiritual and physical strength to get through this.

We hope that our words will bring you a small measure of comfort but you will draw strength to get through the days ahead only through the Lord. Cling to Him, pour out all your thoughts and feelings to Him, and place your burdens on His broad shoulders for you are heavy laden and only He can give you rest and peace.

My prayers are with you. You and his children need to remember that you couldn't have prevented this. You need to grieve, but please don't feel guilt.

Faith in God will show you the way.

May the Lord bless and keep each one of you because of His faithfulness and love. His comfort is the only one that will help long term.

Listen for His voice of gentle consolation.

May God hold you, your husband, and your children in the palm of His hand.

My sympathies to you all, I know the pain that suicide can bring.

Life does go on, please remember that in your time of grieving.

God bless you and give you peace and comfort in this difficult time.

My youngest brother died in a similar fashion. I'm sharing with you a piece of music which I hope you might find comforting.

Go Rest High On That Mountain sung by Vince Gill

I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren’t afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin’
Love for the father and son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Please accept my condolences. I'm always jarred by such tragic news, even more after I viewed your homepage, and feel the magnitude of your loss. I'm so sorry. As I think of you in coming days, I'll trust you are surrounded and strengthened, by loving family and friends.

You're in my prayers. Please keep in mind what you said as the days pass, "We will never know what demons were in his head that drove him to this."

It's not your fault.

barker,

Words can't express my sorrow and empathy for you and your children.

My uncle did the same thing twenty years ago.

Please be assured of my prayers.
