Not what I expected Mood
Monday, March 3, 2008 | A Sad story

A Few days ago. A friend from over the road came over screaming her head off.

Whilst trying to make sense of what she was trying to say, I made out that she had said her partner had hung himself.

i went back to her house, while a neighbour called the police, and she cut him dwn from where he was.Frown

It was sad to see that someone caould be so low, to take their own life, and to not face up and deal with the difficulties that life deals us.

I stayed at her side, just being there to support her, as best as I could.

after 2-3hours, she asked me to bless the garage where it happened, and I did.

What sadened me the most, is the pieces left behind for loved ones to pick up.

The guy who had hung himself had said to his girlfriend the night before, that if she wasnt home, or wasnt going to be home when he said, that he would hang himself, now she blames herself, which is normal.How can someone follow through with this?

Yes, they had a rocky relationship, but that was a bit much to put on anothers shoulders.

Maybe he asked god for mercy, who knows, and maybe he is in heaven now. I always thought a person who took their life, was doomed for hell.After scripture readings, I founf that if they asked for forgiveness/mercy in the time of the event/well before he had done it, that he may be in heaven.

I myself can handle most obstacles in life, as we are human and there are no rules for life. I feel that this even has taken a lil while to actually sink in.

I pray to Our Saviour, King of kings, that where ever u are Duane, that it is not the bitter hell u may have been expecting. I ask u God to be at the side of My friend Teresa and her son, as they have unanswered questions and sadened hearts. I ask that u give her guidance. Dear Lord, my heart goes out to his family.

I also ask, that You keeo my family and I safe, and that no harm comes to us.

Peace be with u Duane.

Amen...................Cry

    Please convey to your neighbor that Duane hanging himself had absolutely nothing to do with her. He was being manipulative. He was trying to put his pain onto someone else which he has done by hanging himself with that threat. I have always thought that someone who was ill enough to hurt themself would be spared a life in hell. Our God is a loving God and I don't see him punishing someone who that ill. I don't know.

    I hope you are able to take care of yourself during this. I have read your profile and I see you have alot going on yourself. Take Care
