A Tragic Passing
I am overcome by emotion tonight as we have learned that an old friend took her own life this past week. She had suffered many miscarriages, but she had finally carried a baby to seven months, only to learn that the had baby died. Without telling her husband about the baby's death, she checked into a hotel and committed suicide. Such a shocking and sad end to a beautiful life. The last time I saw her was at her wedding ten years ago. Now they are preparing for her funeral at the same church she was married in. We will miss her. She was such a gentle, kind soul. Depression sometimes wins, but she is still victorious, united with her Savior and her precious baby. We pray for her husband.
i am so very sorry for her and her family. what a tragic loss.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteLives have been changed forever. I am so sorry for her family and her friends, you included. I have too much experience with suicide and attempts. It is a sorrowful act but treatable. Thank you for writing about it. We can't afford to keep it hidden. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, That is so incredibly sad.
ReplyDeleteI started this evening going back and reading your whole blog Megan and wow, what a journey you all have been on. I plan to keep reading the whole thing this holiday as I have time. It's amazing how much our bp kids have in common.
