To the one who is thinking about suicide –
Thank you for reading this and considering my words. My prayer is that my words will help stop you from a desperate act that will destroy you and devastate others.
Some voice is telling you right now that taking your life is the only way to end the pain that rages inside of you. But that’s not true. What you are considering will be an irreversible decision for a temporary pain.
The truth is, suicide doesn’t end the pain; it multiplies it many times over.
I know this because, over a decade ago, my husband committed suicide. He was a pastor who believed in God and told others about Him, and yet, in his darkest hour, he made the unalterable choice to take his own life.
The pain of that act nearly incapacitated me for years and still tears at my heart, my family’s hearts, and the hearts of many others.
I would have done anything to help him had I known what he was planning, of what he was suffering – had I any idea of the smothering battle that was raging inside of him.
