Friends Son contemplating sucicide
 

Please pray for my friends son that is backslid and last night put a gun to his head.

Oh Esther I certainly will. It is so sad. It hurts my heart when I hear of things like this.

Esther please know we are indeed praying here!

prayin sis, dt

Does he have a support group? Family, friends?
Is he seeing a counselor? Is it vital that he gets helps immediately around him and DON'T leave him alone.

He needs more than prayer and I hope he will be getting it.

There is also a national lifeline anyone can call, 1-800-273-Talk or
1-800-273-8255.

*I work in suicide prevention

He has his Mom.

His marriage has problems as well.

I don't know if he is alone or not. I think she has talked to him via phone. I don't have all the details.

I don't think you understand. His mom is not enough. He need people around him 24-7. That is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week while he is in crisis.

The phone isn't near good enough. Will someone please follow up on this?
Thanks.

I do understand. I am not in a position to do anything about it, but let his Mom know.

praying.

He is talking to a counselor.

Esther, is this situation related to the one a few weeks/months ago where your friend committed suicide?

No it is a totally different group of people.

Thanks for asking.

Praying for this.

Praying.

Please keep this family in prayer. Last night was another episode.

I'll pray for this situation as well.

Esther how is this family doing?

Haven't heard anything in the last couple of days.

I trust all is well. God is in control!

Praying here...........

Sorry to come back again but this situation is getting continually bad.

He has turned violent now and needs serious help. Please pray for his family as well as him.

This is serious. I am sure the tempter of us all is tormenting him.
Greater is he!!!!
