Know that when you are down, when friends around you only criticize, family spit on you in disgust, and when you feel God has forsaken you; this is when you call on the unlimited power of God to show you grace[assistance]. When your hand is on the trigger, the pills are on the table, and the cord is around your neck; that is when you fall on your knees asking God for his mercy[love]. For remember at the end of the day when you decide to attempt to take your own life your actions are really just asking God will you allow me to die and unfortunately you will not know God said NO until you wake up in worse shape than you was before.

Be reminded to be blessed is to have the protection of the MOST HIGH

even if it is protection from yourself and after all that Job endured he was given back all he had lost as well as live to be 140yrs old.

So let go and let God.

SUICIDE

Suicide is the act of taking one's own life on purpose. Suicidal behavior is any action that could cause a person to die, such as taking a drug overdose or crashing a car on purpose.

People who try to commit suicide are often trying to get away from a life situation that is drowning them or seems impossible to deal with . Many who make a suicide attempt are seeking relief and develop seemingly hopeless behaviors when there is a situation that the person finds overwhelming.

THE LAST SAY SO

I live because Jesus lives in me

1973 married just barely 21 with a 7yr old son as well as a 2yr old daughter and experiencing such sadness. Husband runs the streets, 1,000 miles from my mother, no job, and no one to talk to. I am tired of feeling the pains of my life and today I no longer want to endure the frustration of smiling when I am so very tormented inside.

As I cleaned the house, fixed dinner, as well as cared from my baby I knew that I did not want yo repeat today's schedule tomorrow and even though I love my kids I just did not have the strength to endure my life one more day.

I called my sister attempted to share my feelings with no success for I felt she or no one else could understand the pain I felt. I played with my daughter, watched my son play outside knowing that this would be the last time I would watch them ever again. I wrote a note to convey the reason for my decision but the words just would not come out correct; so I balled it up throwing it away. I tried to imagine the life my children would have without me, considering how my son would accept my death knowing my daughter would not really remember me being she was just a baby.

I tried to take in everything I loved about my life, the trees as well as the bees, the smell of the flowers I planted the year before, how well my elephant ears looked in the front yard, and the calmness I feel as I hold this bottle of pills in my hand.
