Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Please if you read this do not take it as if I am trying to make others believe what I do. I am only telling you how I have made sense out of life. I respect all religions, beliefs, and lack of beliefs. I would not lose a single friend here for the sake of pushing those beliefs on anyone. Just my take on it. OK? Suicide. I tried it too many times. It was not the thing to do. I will never do it again. I believe that God did not want me to go or I would have. I had one attempt in particular that should have been fatal and would have been if there were not some kind of devine intervetion from somewhere. Ok... Now I also realize how many people I would have hurt if I had succeeded. My little girl was one of them. She was about 2 at the time. I did send her with my sister before I attempted such an idiotic thing. I at least had that much sense. I had also called her father to come and pick her up from Oklahoma and he was on his way to my sister's to get her. I was somehow thinking she would not know the difference later because she would not remember me. (it would have hurt her... I know that now). Now, the afterlife belief. I have pondered this much. In my belief, the afterlife for suicide is some kind of limbo. I don't necessarily believe I would have burned in hell. I do, however, believe that I would have been in a place that was not pleasant. I do believe in spirits, or ghosts or whatever you want to call it. I think that some people do remain in a realm where they don't cross over and stay in limbo with unresolved issues and sudden deaths that were not meant to be. Of course, I don't have all the answers and never will. But I believe that I am intended to be here through all the never ending trials of my life along with the fibro and all. There is some purpose to it though I don't know exactly what or why. Just some thoughts. And I don't mind if others have a different belief. It does not make you wrong and make me right just because I believe in god. I am not all knowing and all seeing as there are some on this earth who believe they are. (but, I will respect that too... because it is their belief system). I say live and let live in peace and acceptance. love and hugs, Debra V. --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi everyone, I have these thoughts once a month. I am in so much pain that I can not handle it any more. I did try also, but I was a teenager. Now, when I am in pain, I ask for God's help and I remember my 8 year old son. He only has me and his father is not around. Plus, if something happens to me, I do not want my ex-husband fighting my parents for custody of my son. Keep strong guys! We will get through this together. Lussia God Bless You! --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
