Man, this is such a heavy topic. People dismiss suicide as selfish as it lets us off the hook from having to examine why we missed it… of realizing we have zero comprehension of what it’s like to navigate Why would someone rather end it all than face another day in their own minds? Some people have seen horrors in life the rest of us cannot begin fathom… and they keep it in for years stretching into decades. Mental images claw against the inside of the minds day after day for years on end. And yet, they still have the courage to move forward day after day…until they don’t. If you’ve talked to anyone who’s been on the front lines of evil you know what I’m talking about. People who have faced horrors most will only experience in some horror flick masquerading as entertainment. There are victims of evil or mental illness where the best they can do is to gather the shattered crystal vase that was once their sanity, glue back as many pieces as they can.. and take one more step. People judge a man’s actions while God their moral intent. The person who glibly casts judgement on suicide is someone disconnected from the realities of either extreme natural or supernatural suffering. If you know someone who’s suffering, reach out. You never know when you might save a life. And if you or someone you know is raging about the selfishness of a loved one who’s passed… it’s ok Be present, pray, and know their are legion of people around you who have walked the path. That fog lifts in time, though no doubt, it never quite feels that way in the moment. And yes.. if you’ve lost someone lay the rage at the foot of the cross, Be grateful for the gift they were in your life and the time you had with them.
