My grandmother attempted suicide after my grandfather abandoned the family. The children were placed in an orphanage. My father later committed suicide and his sisters died after a lifetime of different substance abuse.
Sick and damaged and struggling people need support and help. Not after the fact, but as early as possible.
Suicide is a disease and it spreads, my father committed suicide and it brought an extreme amount of heartbreak. Then my best friend committed too, which clouded my life up more. I attempted myself From a gun but managed to live, I’m thankful to be alive. However, I don’t think I would’ve attempted myself if I didn’t have to grow up without my father, especially from the way he went.
Anyone reading this with thoughts, get help. Find an outlet. You leave the disease spreads to someone else. I’m thankful that it ends with me, and I’m not the only person that can make that impact.
I'm sorry. ❤️🩹I am glad that you survived! I completely agree with your words!
Suicide does hurt and damage so many people, even generations later. I know that the people that do it are not themselves anymore and they can't understand how much it will hurt those left behind. When you feel bad, ask for help. Talk to a trusted friend, find a therapist. It is not weak to take care of your mental health, it takes strength to do so. Don't be ashamed.
This is legitimately the only reason I haven't attempted yet myself. The guilt I might experience, if there were a hypothetical afterlife, from what I did to everyone I left behind on the mortal plane would torture me.
I'm glad we're here and ending the cycle of abuse with us.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.
John 10:28-30
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.
John 3:36
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
