Shivala lost her battle with depression today and has decided she could no longer take the pain. She leaves behind 2 children, an ex-husband, 4 siblings and 5 nieces. This is my sister's family. My sister died in 1992 at 39 from breast cancer, leaving behind Shivala and her 4 siblings.
Shivala's brother lost his 39 year old wife 2 years ago from a heart attack after covid vax, leaving their four girls to be raised by my nephew who was in the Navy at the time. They have certainly had their struggles and my heart breaks for all they have gone through. They are not believers, but I pray that through these trials they might meet Jesus, the way, the truth and the life.
Thank you all very much...I know the power of prayer...and the power of the GAW community when you all agree in prayer...God bless you all and be sure to hug your families extra tight and tell them you love them...we are not promised tomorrow...thank you 💔
Let me share something beautiful Shivala posted on Facebook as a thank you for your loving support of Shivala's family...my family...
TEACH
The trees teach me how to let things go
The rivers teach me to go with the flow
The sky teaches me it's okay to cry
Each night the moon shows me how to say goodbye
To the sun, who shows me how to shine
And the stars that teach me I am divine

I know...I agree 100%...the problem is I have no influence and they live across country...I know you shared your loss and pain in one of our first encounters... counseling is so essential. Me and my remaining sister have done it. I will try to get that book and share...life is so often hard and painful...but you are so right that God is the answer to the pain and mess...thank you so much for sharing...and the book suggestion...I hope I can find the author...God bless you richly for your caring compassion and words of wisdom...much love to you and yours friend...
Maybe this will open up some honest discussion about suicide...it seems to be on the upswing...people are losing hope and the will to keep living with pain and sorrow...
I will look too.

It's Susan White-Bowden. Her books are on Amazon. Consider yourself hugged.
Grateful...sounds like a worthy gift to share...the family are all readers...
Oh, don't ever give up. After years of constant prayer and terror, my son was touched by God and gave up booze. Married a wonderful woman, and just this summer he and his kids were baptized.
Oh Praise God...alcohol is the bane of my existence with my children...I hate alcohol...one son-in-law was saved a month ago...I do see answered prayer...but that is only 1 out of five of my children's families...still a long road ahead...many prayers and tears...
