My father took his own life...

5 years ago today. Most of my closest friends do not know this. I will cry myself to sleep tonight as I do every April 19th. What could I done to prevent this?

I only post this for all to watch for depression in your loved ones. It is a nasty disease that causes incredible people to do terrible things.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Depression is an awful thing. Prayers for you and your family and prayers for your dad. God bless.

That's heartbreaking afi.

And you are spot on about depression.

Heartfelt prayers for you, afi. A friend of mine lost his grandfather (who had raised him) the same way last week. I can only imagine the hurt and ache you feel.

Oh my. Thoughts and prayers with you tonight. Stay strong man.

My prayers are with you.

I will be lifting you up in prayer afi. Prayers of peace, understanding, and strength surround you.

Feel free to lay any burden down at the feet of our Lord and Savior...

Wow. Sorry to hear. Prayers your way. He is in a better place. Sleep easy my friend.

It does not discriminate.... Sadly, many of us do not know someone suffering from it until it is too late. Prayers your way.

Wow. Sorry to hear. Prayers your way. He is in a better place. Sleep easy my friend.

I always wonder about a better place. My dad was a born again Christian but he took away what God gave him.

I miss my Dad.

Sad to hear this, but hope you make it through the day.

Prayers buddy and creating awareness is important. Be at peace.

A long time ago I've decided you can't understand depression. I've lost some to this battle.

Prayers brother, raise all the awareness you can, you can still be a warrior against what hurt you so much.

Feel sorry to read this afi...hate that you continually have to feel the pain of this day.
