What causes a young, bright and talented Christian to commit suicide?
Home ^ | 09-29-01 | Registered

Posted on 09/29/2001 8:27:22 PM PDT by Registered

Folks, I'm at a loss. I just found out my nephew hung himself. He left a note, it's unknown to me what's in it. I appreciate any prayers for his mother and father, they lost another son last year due to health problems. This is just going to devastate their family.



I just don't understand. What a waste.

This is NOT a joke...perhaps your nephew was suffering from a chemical inbalance in his brain. That can cause mental illness and (sometimes) result in catastrophic actions from which there is no recovery.

I will pray for you, and his parents. I'm so sorry.

My cousin committed suicide some years back, he was a talented artist, missed by all. What a waste.

Perhaps he never recovered from the loss of his brother. That and the attack were too much.

May God comfort this family

I'm awfully sorry Registered, ol' friend. Bless you and your nephew, your family.

There's just no knowing the despair in the heart of a youngster.

I count on God's mercy, and trust Him to care for the ones departed. I gave up searching for reasons to explain such sorrow...but I still ask for the strength to bear them.

Please be assured you have friends at this hour of need.

I'm at a loss, too. I don't know how well you knew his situation, but this normally does not happen suddenly. There was likely an emotional or psychological issue involved here.

Prayers for the family from north of the border.

So sorry, Registered. My cousin's son shot himself two years ago. It was devastating to his family. My God grant you all the grace and strength to get through this tragedy.

You and your family have my heartfelt sympathy. As someone who has lost a family member to suicide, I can tell you that there are a million questions but, sadly, no answers.

Your family will run the whole gamut of emotions ..... shock, anger, frustration, grief, heartbreak ..... you name it and you will end up feeling it before all is said and done. That is quite natural ...... don't be afraid of it. It is only if one gets stuck in one of those stages and doesn't work on through it that problems can arise.

Hang on to God for dear life! Realize that He didn't cause this ..... but He can help you deal with it. He will carry you and your family through this if you let Him.

My prayers are with all of you, especially the parents.
