| Message | I lost my youngest son to suicide. Jeff was a kind, sensitive 23 year old man who lived with severe depression since the age of 15. Even though he completed suicide, I consider him one of the most couragous people I know. He fought his depression to graduate from high school and go on to college. Even though he strugged daily with his depression, he kept at his studies and reached out to the less fortunate.
Since losing Jeff, I feel overwhelmed with loss and grief. I comfort myself with the fact that Jeff is finally at peace. He spent 1/3 of his life struggling to find peace of mind. At last he has it.
I miss Jeff so much. I remember holding him in my arms as a baby. I remember his ready smile in the years before depression hit.
I am worried about his older sister and brother. Although, as his mother, I feel an intense emptiness, I have more experience in trusting God, and letting go of Jeff to be with God. I try to be there to support them in their grief but sometimes feel too overwhelmed by my own grief.
I ask for your prayers for our family, that we may all journey through our grief to find healing.
Thanks, Karen Medovitch |
