Warning: Depressing and mature themes

While I was away I received some distressing news. My friend, Mel, committed suicide about a week ago. Mel is the third person in my life who I have known very well who has committed suicide.I know I am still in the stage where I don't believe it. I mean, I accept it as fact but I haven't really come to grips with the reality of it yet. Mel's mother sent me an email, saying that she got my email address from Mel's address book. It is nice that she wanted to let everyone know that Mel has gone, but part of me is remembering that one of the reasons Mel was seeing counselling because of her mother was because of her mother's invasiveness. The email was full of how happy Mel had been the last time Mel's mother had seen her, and I know that was just an act; Mel believed her mother hated her. I also know that Mel was battling some serious health issues which I know was worrying her. So I haven't accepted the reality enough to cry yet. I do feel a lot of anger though. I know when Mel went through an extremely traumatic situation and couldn't tell her parents because they would cut her off, all her 'christian' friends told her that if she wasn't happy she wasn't being christian... It's probably a good thing that I cannot go to the funeral (it's two states away). I would probably tell a few people what I really thought of them right now. Right when they're busy putting on their 'Oh, I loved Mel so much, I can't believe this happened, there were no warning signs' nonsense masks to make themselves look good. Anyway, the kids have woken Jacob up so I'm going to go. I have disabled comments because I know that suicide is a contraversial issue with some and it is simply not appropriate to give your views at the time when someone is hurting. Regardless of what you believe, Christ died for all sins, Mel was saved, and she survived far more traumatic circumstances than most people in our modern world ever face. Goodbye Mel. { Last Page } { Page 11 of 345 } { Next Page } |
