So, in my church there has been 8 teens in the student ministry who have taken their life in the past 6 months.
Yesterday I really got thinking about this...
How do we stop this?...How do we help?
How much of a difference would it have made if I was there to reach out and just say "Hey, are you okay? I have noticed you look a bit down, may I pray with you or would you like to talk?"
I have known many people who have taken their lives, and I took that blame upon myself, in therapy this topic came up and she told me there was nothing I could've done, they would've done what they did what they did with or without me."
I hate hearing that from people. I believe that an act of kindness goes further than some can see...
Letting someone know that they aren't alone or forgotten can save a life.
Do any of you agree?
We can't keep going on saying "they are too far gone to help"
This breaks my heart.
Please comment saying if you agree or not.
I'd love to hear opinions on this
