A Friend in need of Prayer

Postby **Banana-chan** » Sat Aug 14, 2004 12:34 pm

My friend lost her mom in March and at first she seemed fine but now she's having suicidal thoughts and i want her to know she has people praying for her. I'm also hoping that at school she knows that she has friends who care. Even though im not a very close friend we have hung out before and she's really cool. I hope you all will pray for her.

I'll pray for her. I understand how hard that can be (I have a friend who also lost her mom), and I'm thankful she has friends like you who are concerned about her.

Will pray. ...Try going up to her and let her know that she's being prayed for. Sometimes, when a person's in a lot of pain, they can blinded to the fact that there are people who care.

the therapist asked her that question and she stomped out of his office and now shes taking anger management classes. but im sure in time she'll learn that she has to move on and just remember that her mother does love her even in death.

I'd say get a new therapist. A child losing their mom is not someone you can approach so early and basically tell them, get over it. This will take years of healing. I mean, the first year or two alone, she will have deep thoughts of regret, depression and anger. Anger management? What a crock! She needs some loving arms around her and to know someone is nearby to listen.

Sorry, banana_chan, but I had a very dear and close friend die on Mother's Day, no less, from breast cancer, leaving her 3 beautiful daughters behind. This was maybe 5 years ago. They were in the age range of 12, 14 and 18 at the time. I even wrote the mother's eulogy. I can tell you, that they would come over and just hang out. That's what they needed at the time. They are all doing fine now.

I'm sure they are not very celebratory around Mother's Day, who would be? But, they are very involved in breast cancer awareness and two are in college now.

Time heals, and friends only have to be there for them. That's all they want and need, someone who'll listen.

Sorry, if I went on and on; but, that little girl doesn't need to be put through the ringer once more with anger management - she needs to know the kind of love Christ gives us, He is just always here for us - always. Maybe you should let her know that, in a roundabout way. The Lord will give you the moment and I'll pray you get the moments.

May God bless her and comfort her in this time.
