A heart-broken tragedy

This afternoon I heard a heart-broken tragedy. A couple I know went to heaven within two weeks, left a 20ish son behind.

The wife was diagnosed with cancer several years ago, but the treatment was unsuccessful and died last week. The husband committed suicide this morning by throwing himself to river in the coldest weather with a temperature of minus 38, which feels like minus 50.

 I felt so sad after hearing this that I could not finish the work but went home early. I am thinking what a reasonable action under such a condition would be when your loved one passed away unexpectely, and what is a suitable way to survive through a stressful time like this.

Suicide needs courage. I could not image the desperate and stress the husband beared. It must overwhele and exceed the limit he could handle by himself. How hard it would be for the son to lose both parents in two weeks, and how could he survive this? I could not imagine. Life is not easy, especially for first generation of immigration families.  

What would you do or what is your suggestion for such a situation?

May God bless the couple with peace and love in heaven.

Amen! Pray in Jesus name.

it’s really a sadness. The pain is out of ordinary when a friend or colleague nearby passed away suddenly. I wish there were something I could do or say to soften your grief.

Once stuck in a dilemma, a wise man does not head blindly for a dead end but reverses his course in time to find his way out.

一旦陷入困境,聪明的人不是一味的钻牛角尖,而是适时地另辟蹊径以谋求出路。往前看,生活还要继续。这也是勇敢 ,也是逝者对生者的期盼和所愿啊。

我不觉得精神会有什么问题,压力太大了,没有及时排解开,唉,可惜。

我也觉得丈夫可能早就有忧郁症了,只是以前更关注太太的病情而没重视。这自杀给亲人留下的创伤太大了,孩子可怜。

I got depressed with this sad news

Just had enough chacolate, and got back to be normal. It is amazing chocolate contains more than sufficient energy, the positive bioenergy that I am sure helps wornout persons come back to life quickly. It is also of an incredible soothing power. Hope that the poor young person knows the power of chocolate and stays relieved soon. God blesses him.
