Sobering start
November 1, 2007I’m stating the first day of NaBloPoMo on a sobering note.
Today my brother is attending the funeral/visitation of the 16 year old younger sister of his best friend from high school. She committed suicide.
Having been in a state of depression severe enough where suicidal thoughts were there, I can’t imagine how much worse she must have been to actually do it and do it in a way where there was no “going back”.
How awful to feel at 16 that your life was not worth living. It is. Life is always worth living, no matter what.
I didn’t know her, I barely knew her brother as in I maybe met him once or twice while my brother was still in high school, but my heart just breaks for them, for their loss, for the unanswered questions they must have as to why.
May God surround them with His loving arms and comfort, give them strength to move forward with their lives and bless them with their memories of Meghan.
