Prayers needed for my godson...

[Odilia]

Oh Kaleigh, I'm sorry I'm so late to this, but you and your godson and all the family are in my prayers! I am glad to see from the last post that he is doing ok, and wants the help, which is probably a key to his recovery.

 

[Linda W]

Lisa,

I am so happy he is receiving the care that he needs and that he and his mom, will both be receiving counseling.

Many hugs to you, you are such a special lady. I do wish I knew you in person.

Love to you,
Linda

 

[Linda W]

P.S. to Michelle,

I am so sorry that you had to go through the suicide of your sister. What a tragic and sad thing to go through. I am so, so sorry.

Love, Linda

I''m sorry I didn''t look at this post before. My prayers go out to you.. Bless your heart.

My little sister attempted and succeeded many years ago now. I miss her every day. I pray that your Godson and his Mom both get the serious help they both need and the support they will need even more now. Its so hard, but it can be overcome.

Prayer and blessings outgoing.. hugs.

And prayers and blessings to you sweetie! What a thing to have to go through; I have sisters and I know the hurt must be awful. We''re sending you hugs, too.

Hi Lisa,

I was wondering if there was an update since your friend came home. I''m praying that the whole family will be able to pull through this difficult time and start the healing process.

In my prayers,
Layla

My godson is doing as well .... He is recieving excellent care in a special psyche unit for teenagers, he''s 18. He wants the help, and is being a good patient. Of course he is looking forward to coming home, but that won''t happen for a while. His Mom is on her way to be with him, she will work along with the docs for a few days, and the healing process shall get into full swing. I would imagine they will meet with father, mother and my godson. I pray that happens anyway. I''m waiting to hear more from his Mom once she gets there and is able to see him. Physically he''s ok. No damage from the overdose so far...

Thanks Layla.

I''m so glad there is a plan in place and lots of people helping out to start the healing process and I''m really praying that there will be no damage from the overdose at all, when all is said and done. Best wishes to the whole family. And to you. ((HUGS))

Ditto. Mental health is so much more difficult to treat than physical health. I wish them both strength and hope to move forward with their lives.

 

[Miranda]

You and your friends are in my prayers! I''m so glad you can feel all of our hugs! I will be thinking of you often.

 

[Kaleigh]

Gosh I really need to mention all of you by name, but many many thanks.

I heard from my best friend, my godson is doing well. He is asking for his text books... Which is a very good sign. He's going to finish when he can, no penalties, no pressure, this has all been worked out with his school. He's very happy his Mom is there, and will come home some time next week, depending. The help is in place here, psychiatrists, psychologists will be working with the family unit. As I said before the real work begins once he's home. Everyone is on the same page, that hasn't always been the case. So am hopeful and thankful. But at the same time am bracing myself... I'm no dummy.....

But want to end this on a happy note, so will say things look good. Lisa

Lisa,

I am so glad to hear that things are headed in a positive direction (asking for his textbooks is huge!). Still sending tons of positive vibes your way.

That's just the nicest post Scarleta. Many thanks, as you know, healing takes time. I am still processing all of this.

[Harleigh]

Dear Kaleigh,

I am sorry to be so late to this thread, but I hope that your Godson is home and working his way towards a brighter future along with his mom. It sounds like it has been a rough road for all of them up till this point, and I hope they can see past all of this and work together.

I am sorry you have been having to deal with this...you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I''m sending hugs and well wishes your way. Hang in there.

 

[diamondfan]

Hey, how are things going?

This is a long and tough road. I am sure all concerned only want what is best, so hopefully his treatment will progress smoothly. It is always scary when someone has attempted suicide, if they do not succeed we pray they realize how much they do have to live for, and embrace the help offered. But they will have tough days no question, and need to be made aware and know they have support in times of need. I hope you are also caring well for yourself now, you have been a rock for them I am sure, but you need some care too!

Hi Lisa,

I just saw this today, I''m so sorry to hear what you are going through. It sounds to me as though the family has made great strides in helping him. I think the most important part of getting through a really tough situation is having people around you that love and care about you. It''s a very isolating experience, so support (from absolutely any source) is a real life saver. I hope he continues to do better!

 

[gwendolyn]

Lisa,

I just saw this for the first time today, and your situation combined with all the love and support from the people here on PS has made me cry. I am so glad to hear that your godson is doing better now--those first few steps are the hardest, and if he''s making those, there is much to celebrate. Not to say it''s going to be easy, because it isn''t, and Christmastime is often extremely difficult on people contemplating suicide, but I feel very encouraged that he is moving in the direction he is.

Sending much love and well-wishes to you and your family,
Kristin

Thanks Kristin!! He''s doing quite well and am very proud of the strides he is making. He''s such a smart kid, and has a bright future. PS is the best, what a wondeful community we have. Lisa

 

[Dee*Jay]

Lisa, I'm so glad you posted. I've been wondering how your godson was doing and it sounds like he's doing well (under the circumstances). The hugs are still outgoing though--no lack of hugs here!
