is within all of us...which is to survive. She could no longer survive.
5. Some religions say that suicide is bad. But the god embraces every one of us. And could have facilitated her choice. he takes people for mysterious reasons. That are not up to us to question.

Hang in there. And I am sorry.

Wow...hearing that, brought tears to my eyes! I have complete compassion for you and all I can say is, God love ya girl! We don't know each other but if you need anyone to talk to, know that I am always available, even if it's just to listen :) I may not ever give good advice,but I've always been known to listen well and offer support by just caring enough to listen :)

I'm not a religious expert or dont preach it but put it all in God's hands, and let Him guide you through this....He won't let you down and He is the best support system anyone could ever have.

Hope I didn't offend anyone by saying that!

Anyways, hang in there hon!

Oh my gosh, Angel. My prayers are with you... I know you're going through a really hard time, so I won't say much but I will say these three words: I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry about about your friend and all it will put you though. jstkdn is right when she said: The thing is someone who makes this type of decision, as something in their head that they can not escape. Call it a thought process, that is wrong to start with. For whatever reason that may be mental illness, drugs or whatever. It is this thought process, that tells them...this is the best choice.
I hope this isn't offensive and I only want o help with a firend of my did the same this helped me alot. Its a quote from Bruce R. McConkie.
“Suicide consists in the voluntary and intentional taking of one’s own life, particularly where the person involved is accountable and has a sound mind. … Persons subject to great stresses may lose control of themselves and become mentally clouded to the point that they are no longer accountable for their acts. Such are not to be condemned for taking their own lives. It should also be remembered that judgment is the Lord’s; he knows the thoughts, intents, and abilities of men; and he in his infinite wisdom will make all things right in due course.”
I feel that judgment for sin is not always as cut-and-dried as some of us seem to think. Plus its not over your friend, she is still learning and trying to understand. Really, only the Lord will be able to administer fair judgment. He alone has all the facts, and only He would know the intent of the your friend's heart.
My prayers are with you. You're not alone in this.

Angel,
Several people on here have mentioned that you shouldn't try to go through this alone. You have already made steps in this direction by sharing with us and asking for our prayers. I think P. Rockwell is right:

"Persons subject to great stresses may lose control of themselves and become mentally clouded to the point that they are no longer accountable for their acts. Such are not to be condemned for taking their own lives. It should also be remembered that judgment is the Lord’s; he knows the thoughts, intents, and abilities of men; and he in his infinite wisdom will make all things right in due course.”
This is in God's control, He will be with you through this and will support you in raising her son. It is a complement to your character that she chose you to write a note to and especially that she wanted you to raise her son. Have the faith in yourself that she did. Know that we are here for you and will help in any way possible. You are in my prayers,
Yours in Christ,
Amber

no your not selfish.. I have had a very close freind cie and it is natural to go throught the anger and loathing that one goes through when someone close dies. I am a drug addict (recovering) so I understand completely what you are feeling..SUicide is not going to bring her back..it is only temporarily reflief for pain that will pass with time..Besides, if you are a believer in GOD, he will be your rock when you are in pain..just pray and cry and tell HIM how you feel and he will ease your pain. Be a mother to that boy, because he needs you right now and remember that your friend would not have wanted you to suffer so much.. It may be something that you don't believe right now, but everything will be okay! (One day at a time) is my Motto!
If you want to talk, I am here..send a message
