offers a real opportunity for us (you and I) to seek out those who are contemplating suicide.  Justin at 25 years of age resolved to take his life in his home.  His battle with depression, isolation at times from loved ones and friends, feelings of hopelessness, low self-esteem, poor job security, and perhaps unhealthy relationships plagued his mind.  Thinking, feeling and doing!  Justin’s confession of taking matters into his own hand became a reality.  Could this tragedy have been prevented?  Could Justin have overcome his doom and gloom…and seemingly dark moment?  Could Justin have been diagnosed, treated, and then rescued from himself?  These are just some questions that come to mind.  He, no doubt will be missed in this earthly realm.  ~Our deepest sympathy to the family…loved ones, and friends.~

Suicide is something you never get over but you get through it one day at a time.  There is no magic number for how many days one may mourn!  By God’s grace; however, you try to see the bright side…the happy times, the cherished moments, the laughs, the hugs, and yes, even the trying times that strengthened the family.  Prayers of comfort and encouragement go a long way while waiting to understand what happened.  The choice to take ones’ own life is and always will be baffling.
