Singer,
I was so sad to see this post, I too just lost my cousin in January to suicide. Please know I will say a prayer for your family.
 
singer.I am so sorry to hear about this....
I will keep your family in my prayers.
 
Singer, I have only just seen this thread. I''m so sorry, my heart goes out to you and your family. I am sure you must be asking yourselves why? It is such a difficult situation to understand. A big hug from me to you. I pray that Daniel is at peace and that you and your family can somehow move on. It will take time, but trust in God.
 
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers! Well, the funeral was today. I just got back. It was VERY emotional and sad, but Daniel looked good. When we were at the cemetary for his burial the sun came out and rays of light (literally) shone down on the earth. It was beautiful and it brought me a little bit of peace, strangely enough. It is just so strange that he isn''t "here" anymore, but I know he is in a happier place. He even had a slight smile on his face to prove it. Thanks everyone again for all your sympathy. May Daniel rest in peace and may God bless him for eternity in Heaven...
 
Singer, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.
 
Singer,
I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. I lost a family member to suicide as well as a best friend in college. It''s never an easy thing to deal with. It sounds like Daniel''s service was a lovely one, I loved what you said about the sun. Hang in there. We are here for you, if you need us.

prayers continue
 
Singer, I am glad that the funeral went went. It''s good to hear you talk positively about it, you are a courageous lady. You are right, Daniel is in a good place and you can rest assured he is at peace. My prayers will continue, hoping that you and your family can come to terms with your loss and smile again.
 
I think sometimes we do get comforting signs that they are in a good place. A friend's Father died a few years ago. His main hobby was birdwatching, he was a member of the RSPB, bird clubs, had books on birds, pictures of birds, even a clock that had birds on and cheeped to tell the time!

At the funeral, somehow a bird had got into the church and and suddenly we all saw it flutter down and hover over the coffin for a few moments. This brought my friend much comfort and still does, it couldn't have been more appropriate.

My condolences to you Singer.
 
I am so so so sorry to hear about your bad news. I will pray and my family with pray for you. There just aren''t enough words...
 
Hi Singer ~

Please accept my sincere sympathy regarding the loss of Daniel.

I understand your grief.

It is so very sad to see, and very hard for most of us to understand how a such a young person can have no hope for the future, to feel themselves that life is too much of a burden on them, and they feel like they have no other choice than to commit suicide to recieve peace.

It is very unfortunate that with our technology and advances in medicine, that we haven''t found a better way to get a handle on suicide. A tragic and sorrowful loss indeed.

It is so devastating. Like posted above, it does take time to come to a place to somewhat understand, and accept the pain and hurt.

I feel you and your families pain ... Hugs and a shoulder here if you need to talk ... I think you can send me a message somehow if you would like.

May the great one above cradle you and your family in his arms during this most difficult time.

I''m sorry that I didn''t see this, because I rarely venture into hangout. But I do want to tell you that I am deeply sorry and pray that the Lord will give your family peace.
 
I wanted to add my condolences and offer my prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.

Thank you so much for your prayers and condolences. I really, really appreciate it. I'll tell you, this week is going to be rough. I was actually "better" before the funeral. Now, I just can't get Daniel out of my head. I think about him every minute of every day. I hope I can actually "teach" today and not feel like I am avoiding my students

One more thing, (BTW, this is obviously NOT directed to those who did take a moment out of their day to respond to my prayer request

), but I am a little hurt that some of the "regulars" on this site did not respond. One person, for example, has been posting all over the place---Rocky Talky, Show Me the Ring, and Hangout (I'm talking multiple 1-page responses...all over the this website) but has totally avoided spending even a second on this thread to give her condolences. It just makes me sad to think that there are people out there that only seem to care about material items and could care less that someone's loved one just died.

Sorry, I just had to vent....I just get frustrated sometimes, and the fact that this is all going on in my life right now doesn't help me at all.

Thanks again to EVERYONE who responded! You don't even understand how much it means to my family and I. I told my step-mom how many people had prayed for us, and she actually started crying.

We feel extremely blessed by all of the people who have prayed for our family during this sad and difficult time.

Thanks again.
 
I''m sorry, I forgot to say thank you to everyone else who prayed for my family and I (besides the names I listed). There are so many of you, so thank you to ALL OF YOU!!!! (The names I listed were just the people that were on the last page of the thread). Thanks again....your time, prayers, and condolences are deeply appreciated!
 
My prayers and condolences to you and your family.
 
Strmrdr~ Thank you for the continued prayers! It is much apprecited. God bless you.

My deepest condolences. Suicide is such a tough thing to get a grip on. I had a brother commit suicide, and one thing I can tell you is eventually you will reach a peace about it. I was angry with him for quite a while before I got there though.

Richard~I am sorry to hear about your brother. Was it a long time ago? That would be even harder than losing a cousin, IMO. Thank you for your prayer; prayers are outgoing to you as well. God bless you!
 
singer, I''m sorry to hear about your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
 
Singer I am so sorry for the loss you and your family are facing at this time. May the Lord and his angels keep you in their mercy and grace.
