and everything came to a screeching halt
I just found out that a former co-worker/friend of mine lost her husband. To suicide. They have 3 children. One a senior in high school and two in college. They were good conservative Christians. She was one of the few people I held in high respect at work. I can't sleep. My head is throbbing. I ache all over for her. I just keep thinking, "What is she going to do?". I simply cannot fathom what she is going through. I'm not close enough to her to call her so I sent her an email. I didn't know what to say. I just ache for her. I cannot imagine the devastation. What is she going to do? How do you move on from your husband killing himself? I don't know how to help her. I keep trying to pray, but all that comes out are cries. I want to hold my husband so much tighter. My issues seem so trivialized after this. I hurt for her. I wonder if there is anyone in my life that is considering such a thing right now. Who can I reach out to? I don't understand. Abba, hold her close. Sustain her. And open my eyes to those struggling around me.
