Suicidal mom

I know how callous we can become when hearing pleas for prayer, especially in some forums, posted by anonymous strangers who's lives we'll never directly touch this side of eternity.
Beyond all that is you, whomever reads this, and me, right now.
I implore you to join me in prayer, type it out here if you want to, or offer it up to the throne right now.
My roomate's had a string of what some might call "bad luck". I just honestly think the devil's got it in for him and his family. His 18 month old nephew dies of a brain tumor, his wife divorces him, and now, his mother...
He just found out last thursday that his mom (who lives on the other side of the country from us) was engaged to be married. My roomate had never even heard mention of the guy to whom she was engaged. THe very next day, he got another call, this time to inform him that the guy his mom was going to married had just died of a heart attack.
One thing right after another. Now, he's finally secured a flight out to be with her, I just dropped him off at the airport this morning.
He just called me.
His mom hasn't eaten in a week, and has been drinking (as in alcohol) constantly. No food, lots of liquor... she even tried to step out into traffic a few days ago, apparently. Aunts and uncles are going nuts, trying to get her to stop. She's trying to end her life, folks, either drinking herself into the grave, or by some other means. Pray with me, please. Pray Jesus for her.
