A friend, M., committed suicide in the late hours of last night. M. had suffered the deaths of many of her family members over the last year. She had a gun and her husband was trying to talk her out of shooting herself. He failed and she shot through her head in front of him. He ran to the neighbor's house and called police who talked with him until 4 am. M's son has been on trouble over the yrs and is mentally fragile. They need prayers. Thank you.

🙏prayers up. So many people in so much pain right now 😢
Thank you.
Dear Lord I pray for this family who is suffering so...they need your peace that passes all understanding...I pray that your love will encompass this family as they struggle with this terrible loss of their mom/wife. Please meet them where they are at and minister to their every need. Please give them people in their lives that will be a help and a comfort. We ask this all in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
My heartfelt condolences to this family...
Thank you!
I am sorry for your loss also...many of us have lost good friends this year and I hope you are able to minister to this family...this is such a horrible tragedy but God is the healer of broken hearts...God bless you for sharing...
Thank you, an old friend called me tonight and told me of 3 others she was in high school with who have recently committed suicide. Tragic
Too much sadness...heartbreaking...I am so sorry such pain...please be sure to take care of yourself....
Amen!
Amen
Amen
This is a human tragedy and they will need great healing.
Thank you. Yes it is and they will need healing. I'm especially worried for her son.
Our Prayers are with them.
Thank you so much.
Prayers for the family, sounds like a hard case.
And while we're all at it, let's say a prayer for America too. WWIII could be on the horizon in the next several days, so lift up America right now too.
Love this, thank you, and I pray for our beloved country all the time.
I'm familiar with this hell. Deep condolences and prayers.
Me too.
Hugs
So sorry for you.
It tears me up because had I known, I would have said, GET HELP GO TO A HOSPITAL. The black hole must have been too dark. I've been there but told my husband to get me to the ER.
I went and got care myself, but it's been hard. Glad it worked for you. Now my father lost his wife recently so we are both struggling now. It's a fight with evil, with death, with fear, but it's mostly with yourself, guilt, deep regret, and feeling like you have failed. I will continue to pray for you as I do for myself and all the others on both sides of this terrifying subject.
Praying for you and your Dad, Kinkussion. God loves y'all. He knows we are His imperfect creations and loves us anyway. I talk to God as I talk to my Dad. Think about how much our parents loves us and how much they've let us slide when we've messed up. God's love and capacity for forgiveness and understanding is a zillion times greater. You are loved. May God wrap His arms around y'all as a Father. May the Blessed Mother hold you close as a mother would.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Don't blame yourself...I know you will be of help to this family...
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
So sorry for you.
My gosh, how horrible for them. How old is the son? This is tragic.
She wasn't, by any chance, taking that drug for weight loss that so many people are taking right now? I've read it leads many to suicide. If that's the case, her family might have a lawsuit on their hands. She lost people, yes, but now she's just added to that for her husband and son. So tragic. I will certainly be praying for them. Sorry for your loss, fren.
90% of the time I see an ad for some prescription, suicidal thoughts is listed as one of the side effects. The fact that Big Pharma pushes this garbage is criminal.
Wow, I did not know that. Thanks.
Thank you. Her son is about 30 yrs old. I don't think she was taking any weight loss drugs.
Alright, thank you. That's bad enough but I was afraid he was a child. God bless him, what a horrible legacy she has left him. I sincerely pray he and his dad are able to gather themselves, become even closer as father and son, and forgive her and move on to fulfilling lives. So tragic.
Her husband said he was totally blindsided. He had no clue she was suicidal. She went to the bedroom, woke him up, he followed her, she said she was going to shoot herself, he tried to talk her down, thought he had, he went for the gun and she pulled the trigger. I mean my God, she woke him up so he could see her shoot herself. Why not just do it? God knows he would have seen her but at least he would not have had to watch. He adored her. I cannot wrap my head around her doing this. It's cruel and she was not a cruel person.
My gosh, you're right. That is so much worse. What must she have been thinking? What pushed her over the edge like that? Losing her family members would have been hard, but her most important family members, her husband and son, should have / would have outweighed the others (you'd think) - unless something made her literally lose her mind. That's why I had originally asked about the drug. I only recently heard about it, myself. I believe it's called ozempic. I don't even know what it's supposed to be prescribed for, but apparently, a side effect is weight loss, so now a lot of people are asking for it for that purpose. I understand she wasn't taking it, but I do wonder if she might have been on some other medication that could have affected her adversely. Who knows? Sometimes life just gets to be too much for some people. I just feel so badly for her husband and son, and now to learn she specifically woke him up to watch. As you said, it's cruel, and that was uncharacteristic of her. Another anomaly. Why was she acting so out of character? Well, she is gone now but they are still here and I pray they will be able to get over this and grow closer to each other. I hope the son doesn't in any way blame the father (you should have stopped her, you could have grabbed the gun, why didn't you know she felt this way?) That sort of thing. Hopefully it just pulls them closer to each other.
Thank you and as far as I know at this point, son and dad are helping each other through the tragedy.
I'll find out more, I'm sure as time goes on. She had been a drinker - pretty heavy at one time but she had supposedly stopped - maybe not.
I'm glad they are working through it together. Thanks for that.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
Love and Prayers Sent.
So appreciated, thank you.
Sigh, may God lift you all up and displace the demons.
This gift of life is not to be squandered, God's plan for us all isn't endless suffering and while all his children may not know it at the time, his love is boundless, even if they cannot see.
This is so true. Thank you.
Prayers on the way fren.
Thank you, fren.
I hope M is able to find Jesus and true peace.
Praying she has, thank you.
Lord God I plead the Blood of Jesus over their minds right now and help them to grieve properly without the enemy coming in and accusing them Oh God in Jesus Name. Place Your people in their path to pray and comfort them through this tragedy and provide a way so no of them do the same. Put a fire in their heart for You and You alone that will sustain them through this tragedy and I come against any other tragedy from happening in their lives ever again in Jesus Name Amen
Thanks so much, Grace.
Consider it done. Truly a tragic loss.
Thank you. She was a bright light.
Will do.
Thank you so much!
I am so sorry for your loss and this tragic death. May you and and her family know the strong and loving arms of Jesus around you.
Thank you. God is good even though we don't know the why.
Dear God in your sons name Jesus Christ please help this family in dire need.

You are welcome.

🙏💖🕯️sent. I really feel for everyone affected. I've been through this. I pray that everyone gets the help they need through this very difficult time.
I pray for that too, DesertBrat, thank you.
Damn, he watched it?
He was trying to talk her down and thought he had. Then, when he reached for the gun, she pulled the trigger.
Amen.
So sorry. Praying for you all.
Thanks so much.
My condolences and prayers. 🙏
Thank you, WinterDragon.
My heart aches reading this, prayers to all and especially for the healing of such a tragedy. Hubs still hasn’t healed from his brothers suicide 10 years ago. It’s a huge gapping wound for the family. Hugs and comfort from Ark.
It's so hard. Hug your husband for me and give one to yourself as well. Thank you for the hugs.
💗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💗

I pray for the Creator to bring peace to this woman's soul, who was so savagely attacked by darkness & pain. I pray for the healing & guidance of the woman's son & husband. Lord God please give these people peace & strength in this time.
