Not LC grief. . . but struggling to understand. . .

[fillise]

Last weekend a young man who attended my church decided to end his life. He has just been married in the church three weeks earlier. He parked his car next to a train track and waited. When the train came by he stepped onto the track, crossed his arms over his chest and let it hit him.

His new bride is struggling. She talked with him an hour before his death and he seemed fine. All of us who knew him are struggling as well.

There is a train track fairly near my house. Everytime I hear the whistle, it is like a knife in my heart for this young man and his wife.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

How tragic. I don't think we can ever understand the deep unresolved sorrow and lack of hope that would cause someone to do that.

Susan,

My heart hurts for you and for the family of that young man. Only God knows why things like that happen.

Susan,

Don't have answers, just hugs and prayers for you and the family of that distressed young man.

That's so hard to understand. I can imagine the struggle you are feeling.

I don't know there is anything to understand.

So sad really. I'm sorry for you, the church family and his bride.

Prayers for all who knew and loved him and for eternal peace for him

Depression and despair are horrible feelings. And for some, the are unshakeable. I feel so deeply for this young man and his family. They are all in my prayers today.
