Father completed suicide

My father completed suicide a few days ago.  No one ever saw it coming–he was a religious man, a bachelors in Theology and an ordained minister.   He was terminally ill and getting worse and worse by the day.   He did not want to be put into a nursing home or die in a hospital.  He died at home in his own bed.  He was only 60 but his quality of life was so poor I don’t blame him for doing it.  He is so much better off, in no pain now and free from his need of oxygen to live.   I am sorry for my mother who had to find him with a gun in his hand but she too knows why he did it and is happy he is no longer suffering.

I see so many of you come on here and post about how you wish you could die because of various reasons.  I too have posted on here about committing suicide, seemingly insurmountable debt and spouse conflicts.  All of my issues pale in comparison to my father’s.  Please don’t ever give up hope.  The problems you have someone else wishes they had only those problems.  There is a brighter day ahead.   You just have to want to see it. 

Happy Easter.
