Heartache

Yesterday I received the terrible news that our pastor's son - a young man in his twenties, decided to take his own life.

He had an enormous future in a very successful church, a loving wife, and his first child on the way.

The community is totally destroyed by this news.
And we are asking for prayer to help see this man's family, as well as this church thru this incredibly tragic event.

Thank you all so much.

You've got it, Eleven.

My brother in law, a nephew and a nieces husband committed suicide in my family.

It's very hard on loved ones left behind.

In your Pastor's case, he is grieving the loss but it's bigger than that... his daughter-in-law is grieving, the child who will never know his/her dad will grieve and a whole spiritual community is saddened and shocked by this unfortunate event as well.

I will pray for all.

Luv

Wow 11. It always saddens me to learn that there is so much sadness out there that people decide to take their own lives. I'll add my prayers for this family, the whole church community & anyone who has been affected by this tragedy.
