D doesn't know this but our weekend was overshadowed by an (extended) family suicide. My neice's (my brother's daughter) uncle decided that on Thanksgiving, he couldn't fight his demons any longer and ended his own life. My heart breaks for his family and especially for his momma. Anyone who says depression is a decision... is a jerk.
I spent several days deciding what to say to her. I decided it's best to not "say" anything but to pray with her. So, via Facebook, I sent her a prayer for her family. It's all I can do at this time. Please remember them at this time. And pray for those who may not have people to pray for them. It is our duty as Christians.
To all who battle with depression, God bless you and please know people love you and care about you.
I'm so sorry for your loss! What a difficult time to lose someone. Depression is a disease! Just like diabetes. And you're right whoever says it's a decision is a jerk and a lot more words I can't post on the internet. Saying a prayer for your family right now.
