Asking for Prayers - Ecorse,MI

So sorry. She will be in my prayers.

Prayers for peace for your daughter and your family. It is a tragedy when someone takes his own life, but your daughter did not cause this to happen.

I am so sorry for your daughter! Of course it is not her fault, but Im sure she feels guilty!!! Reinforce to her that he was obviously very depressed and mentally ill. She couldn't have possibly known that he was going to do this. She may need to seek some counseling to get her through this.
My heart breaks also for all that knew and loved him.
Prayers and hugs sent!

I am sooo sorry this happened!! You and your family as well as her ex-boyfriend's family are in my prayers.

Please keep reminding her that this is NOT her fault. As a mom, I would find a grief counselor that she can talk to. being able to talk to other people who have been through this might help her understand and see that it was NOT HER FAULT!!

Dear Lord maker of Heaven and Earth - I pray that you wrap your loving arms around those affected by this tragedy. Please keep your calming arms around them as they grieve the loss, knowing it was not their fault.

Prayers to your family, especially your daughter.

I strongly recommend that she get some counseling as well. This situation happened to my friend more than 7 yrs ago. Her ex-husband killed himself after attempting to reconcile with my friend, and she wasn't interested. He tried to call her the whole weekend before he did it as well, and she didn't answer. She blames herself to this day.

Your daughter needs to know that it's not her fault. He chose to do this on his own and she should feel no responsibility for it.

That is so amazingly sad. Talk to your pastor about counseling for her - I don't know if "survivor guilt" would be an issue, but the break up will make it stick in her head possibly that it was "her fault". There was so much more going on for this boy and she should not take this on. Hugs to you all and I hope things go well for her in her interview.

I'd say that he was probably going to do this at some point because he had depression. That it was his battle to fight in this life and that it had nothing what so ever to do with her. That she broke up with him for a reason and this shows how lucky she was. That if she had went back into the relationship with him he would have likely killed her then shot himself at some point in the future.

There are many outcomes that could have happened. This is going to be very hard on her but she has no blame at all. Obviously he had some trials that he was going through on his own. He wasn't strong enough to overcome them. It's not on her in any way.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am sending white light so she rises above the hurt and aces the interview.

My cousins boyfriend did this MANY years ago when we were still in HS. He tried to do it in front of her and we still wonder today if he meant to actually take her with him (he left EVERYONE but her a NOTE...even her parents)

I'm so sorry for your pain. I really feel for what she is going to go through. I know my cousin still regrets the whole situation/wishes she could do something to this day.

Many prayers for you, your daughter and the young man's family! Such a waste.

Spend loads of time with her. Allow her to talk, talk, talk. If she wants to attend the services--allow her. Wow. I am praying for your daughter but also for the boy's family.

I had a close friend who killed himself a couple of years after high school. Such a devastating thing to deal with.

The fact of it being her X and him calling her so recently I would keep a very close eye on her. She is going to have a lot of emotions to deal with. I would pray AND look into some counseling.

Sending healing thoughts for all involved.

Sending thoughts and prayers to your family, especially your daughter. I'm sure she will carry this w/her for quite some time but as w/his mother having done the same thing she needs to realize that there must've been some type of family history that had not been addressed.

So sorry for what you are going through. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. <3
