Hi guys (long time no see...huh?)

I just found out that my cousin committed suicide yesterday! So please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers. This is the second suicide in my family this year, my step-uncle killed himself last month...so it has been a year!

Thanks guys!

I had a VERY close friend commit suicide a few years back, and I know how painful it is. I was f*cked up for months. I think, for me, the worst thing was just how SENSELESS it is. And I think it's worse when they're young.
Take care of your self.

Hang in there...I hope one day, your heart "will rise up with the morning sun, and the hurt [you] feel will simply melt away."

Thank you so much!...that is my favorite line from one of my favorite Chris songs! I need that...

Thanks guys for your prayers!

I'm sorry to hear about your cousin. And 2 in one year...I can't even imagine one.

I hope your family is doing alright, I can't imagine how much pain they must be in. Take care of yourself and your family.

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It's a hard thing to go through.

I'd like to share this. I don't know what you'll think, but it helped me out.

Civil War

"Our friend died on his own battlefield. He was killed in action fighting a civil war. He fought against adversaries that were as real to him as his casket is real to us. They were powerful adversaries. They took tolls of his energies and endurances. They exhausted the last vestiges of his courage and strength. At last these adversaries overwhelmed him. And it appeared that he lost the war. But did he? I see a host of victories that he has won!
For one thing, he has won our admiration, because even if he lost the war, we give him credit for his bravery on the battlefield. And we give him credit for the courage and the pride and the hope that he used as weapons as long as he could. We shall remember not his death, but his daily victories gained through his kindnesses and thoughtfulness, through his love for family and friends . . . for all things beautiful, lovely, and honorable. We shall remember not his last day of defeat, but we shall remember the many days that he was victorious over overwhelming odds. We shall remember not the years we thought he had left, but the intensity with which he lived the years he had. Only God knows what this child of his suffered in the silent skirmishes that took place in his soul. But our consolation is that God does know and understands.”

I'm so sorry for your losses. It seems that every time I turn around there is a tragedy. Cherish one another. Brandon, you and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers.

GateandGarden · #12 03-20-2005, 08:53 PM

I can't imagine what it's like to have lost one, much less two. I hope you and your family stay strong and hang in there.

Wow, it is so tough to deal with accidental death of a loved one or a loved one whose time has come naturally, but to deal with someone who has chosen to end his or her life is even more difficult. I wish you the strength to deal with this and coming to understand it. I'll be praying for you.
