taking a few days off to grieve
« on: July 21, 2017, 06:02:56 pm »
i just received the news that someone I was very close to  committed suicide. I babysat him  when he was little and taught him in sunday school when he was a little boy. this is very heartbreaking . he considered me a spiritual momma.

I am so very sorry for your loss.  There are no words I can say to take the pain away.  Again, I am sorry.

I am very sorry to hear of this tragic event.  It is sad to see that suicide is such a common solution that people turn to these days to overcome difficulties.

I will keep you and their family in my prayers.

I want to offer my condolences on your loss.   Suicide is such a tragic ending.  The people left behind are the ones who suffer.   I hope your good memories of the young man will bring you comfort.

Condolences to you and his family. I will pray for you and his family.  It is always difficult to lose someone, especially so young. Very sad for everyone who knew him.
