Choosing Life: The Importance of Seeking Help

Anyone thinking about taking their own life should know you are not alone.

Feeling overwhelmed by life’s pressures, heartaches, and hurt can be challenging. PLEASE know that many lives will be left behind in great pain and loss. There will be people missing you, wishing to give you one more hug. They want to express how much they love you. They want you as a part of their lives for days and weeks to come.  It’s difficult to understand the hole you will leave. An emptiness will remain if you take that way out.  It will cause torment, turmoil, and guilt for those around you. I hope you choose not to inflict that on those you care about. They care so much about you.  I hope you realize you are loved. There is a way out, even when it seems there is none.  There are individuals there to help you and that do care about you and all that you are going through.  There are people who love you and God does care and loves you. If you ask, He will help you find your way to someone. This person will help you get out of where you are at. It’s important to act before it’s too late and you leave devastation behind you.

Please just think about all of this. Try to fight and wait one more day. Then maybe wait another day, and another day, until you can find some help. Find another way to deal with all the hurt, pain, and fear of the future.

Please don’t check out and leave everyone behind. You will be missed more than you can ever imagine. There will be a hole in our hearts that can never be filled if you are gone!!!

I'm not an expert, nor do I have a "degree" in the area of addiction - I am simply a Mother and Grandma with a heart for all who battle with any addiction and those whose lives are affected by their loved ones struggle. There is a driving force behind my passion to be a voice for both those caught in the grip of addiction and their family and friends, as their lives and hearts are broken from this evil. May you find hope and peace as we walk through this together with God's help.
