  • Wish you had died along with your loved one

- When trying to comfort a grieving person, consider this Proverb, “If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.” (Proverbs 27:14)

 

If someone you know is struggling, don’t be afraid to ask directly. It’s ok to plainly ask someone who seems depressed whether they’ve had suicidal thoughts. If they have, it could be a great relief that someone finally saw what they were dealing with. If not, at least they know that you care, and they can talk to you.

 

I don’t pretend to have solutions for these things, I just know they are common experiences. Feel free to reach out in the chat if you feel like talking about anything you’re going through. 

 - Will
