Yesterday, Thursday June 19th, 2008, my best friend's son killed himself. I was hoping that writing about if would make me feel better, but it's just making me cry at work.
Oh,MDD, I am SO Very ,Very ,Sorry to hear about your friends son! There are simply No words to adequately express ones feelings at a time like this!! My heart simply goes out to both your family and your friends; I pray for comfort and peace for you all!! It is SO HARD to understand why a family member chooses to take their life, but in their way of thinking at that time, they feel that they are doing everyone a favor and that everyone will be better off without them around!! If they wern't sick at the time, they would understand the grief their families go through from now on wondering why they didn't come to them for help, you know?? I will keep this family, as well as your family close in prayer ove the next weeks and months! God Bless!

MDD,My Friend, I Know how tough the past few days have been on you, and I can only imagine how its taken a toll on your body, also!! Remember to take care of YOU during all of this too!! Your AS will use ANYTHING as a reason to flare up!!! Be careful & don't miss any med doses!(I get careless about that if i'm worried about somebody else, for some reason; I just forget about me)! Anyways, take care; know you and your family are being thought of and prayed for, along with your friend and his family!! God Bless!!

MDD, you keep posting, my friend! You are right; writing is a wonderful way to get your feelings out and to help with all the pent up hurt and emotions you NEED to deal with at times like this!! Encourage your fiend to come to this site, also if he doesn't already have a support group, because he and his family are certainly gonna need a place and people to talk to, too!!
Hope this finds everyone doing a "little better, with a smaller feeling of Gods peace surrounding all!!"
