My dad killed himself not too long ago, and it was partly because of money issues (that I didn't know about). It's impossible to put into words what kind of devastation a suicide causes. Impossible. h...

That’s beautiful Gigi. I’m so sorry that you & your family had to suffer the devastating loss of your father to suicide. I cannot begin to imagine what you have all gone through, but reading your words makes me fully realise how fortunate & blessed I am for coming out of the other side of depression & thoughts of suicide. Yes it was over finances too. Somehow I managed to find the strength or I should say God gave me the strength to face my worst fear which was Bankruptcy. I came to realise that the thought of losing everything & feeling like I’d let my family down was much worse than the actual experience itself. After the event I was able to see the many blessings that came from that experience. Spiritual growth I found comes through somehow finding the courage to face our worst fears. I could never have foreseen the blessings that would emerge from the ashes of my business collapsing, personal humiliation & bankruptcy. My ego was shattered into a million pieces & it turned out that was the greatest gift I could ever have wished for. Had my ego got the better of me I would not be here to tell the story, yet somehow by the grace of God I was blessed & saved. In truth it could have gone either way. Why some of us see the light & others do not I have no answers. But I do know that through the power of prayer anything is possible. So the best advice I could give anyone on the brink of despair is to pray. 🙏 Be honest about how you are feeling & ask God to lift the burden from around your shoulders. Then just see what happens. You’ve literally got nothing to lose but potentially a whole new life to gain.
My thoughts & prayers are with all of those who have been affected by these events. 🙏😔❤️🕊️
