Prayers

Hey fellas. My 42 year old brother in law took his own life yesterday after battling alcoholism and depression since he was a teenager. He leaves behind a wife and 4 young children. Any prayers or positive energy that can be sent their way, or to my grieving wife or elderly mother in law would be greatly appreciated.

And again, thank you to Guy for offering the only legitimate distraction I have right now as I try to manage this nightmare.

Thanks everyone and God Bless

Re: Prayers

Condolences and best wishes to your family and all those affected. Sadly, most of us have likely known someone for whom the darkness became too much to bear. Their passings invariably leave more questions than answers.

I hope that in the days, month and years ahead there will due kindness and empathy towards the survivors as well towards the memory of your late brother-in-law.
