Tears of Sadness
I have not felt like writing for the last several days. On Monday, my family, along with many others, suffered a terrible loss. My daughter’s best friend, all through Elementary school, took her own life. This young lady was quirky, funny, adventuresome and intelligent as hell. There were no signs, no bullying, and no cries for help. She just decided that she was feeling too much pressure in her young life. We don’t even know exactly what that pressure was. Because she was so smart, she was successful in her suicide attempt. Maybe if she wasn’t, we would have had another chance to help her.
I keep looking for something that gives me answers to all the questions in my head. There are no answers that will bring her back to us.
My heart aches for her parents. She came from a very loving, involved and dedicated family. I just don’t know how you continue to breathe in and out after suffering this kind of loss.
Please take a moment, hug your loved ones, especially your children, and remind them that NOTHING is ever bad enough to take the irreversible step of committing suicide. If you pray, please keep this family in your prayers for me today. They need all the support they can at this time.

Thank you. 14 is way to young to decide that life isn’t worth living anymore.

It’s so hard to walk through the valley of the shadow of death but walk you must. These are the mysteries I confess that cause me to dig deeper and hold on tighter. When the sun appears again I always find solace in knowing I had them for the part of my life that needed their blessing and then release them to the healing they sought.

Thank you and so true. I wish she had shown some kind of sign. Unfortunately, wishing won’t undo her tragic actions. I just wish I could understand why.

Sending prayers for peace. If the signs were clear, we could eradicate this terrible tragedy, but they really never are. Many many many hugs.

That is so true. I have always said that I wished kids came with an owners manual. Then, maybe, we would have a clue how to parent. (Of course, the men wouldn’t read it and mine would have arrived, written in Arabic. 😊 Laughter through tears, right?)
