I feel for the husband and children. I was left with a three year old daughter to rear alone when my wife took her life back in 2001. The gossip and cruel statements by many were brutal and will forever affect me. I persevered and now am retired and moved away from the town where I lived where it happened.

Suicide hurts everyone that person loved for the rest of their lives.

Yup. I had a cousin commit suicide in 2004. I don't think his mother will ever be right again. She pretty much withdrew from all social contact for about a decade and only now is showing some signs of improvement.

I’m sorry for your loss.

How true. My sincere condolences.

Suicide hurts everyone that person loved for the rest of their lives....
...and greatly increases their own risk of suicide.

Thanks for sharing your story.

It’s a sin (as in single sin, as distinguished from course of sin) that the Evil One can beckon on by infesting a mind with a sufficiently blue note. The weather gal’s physical eyes were not the problem — and it was well known that sometimes Lasik has to be revised for best results. Her spiritual eyes were the problem. Did you know that even Christians can be short sighted? The bible says so.

An act like this would not delete an existing salvation, but it would mar one’s reward, standing out like a sore thumb at the end when the work, either of God or the enemy, is sorted out in a life. Once one is past this world, one can’t do any more good in it — one can’t share gospel with any more sinners. For that reason I am in no particular hurry to leave.

I sure wish these “life is precious” people would use that motto not just to condemn but also to succor, for a change!
