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.
