You are welcome! Please just trust in God and you will see that no-one you know is as powerful as he is...he understands your pain - remember he gave his only-begotten son for us!! So, he knows the pain associated with Death.(1 John 4:8) Just take the time to get to really know him and this will be through your deligent reading and researching the Bible.
Do take care and ask Almighty God-Jehovah for his loving guidance - petition for his help!!

One thing about God is that he did not give us the power to judge anyone and some people think that they knows a person stand before God if they commit suicide - however, we do not know the frame of mind the person was in and we do not have the power to judge - but God does and everything in that respect is left to God (1 Peter 1:17) Only God can determine the outcome of such a tragic event.
That is why - we are told to seek comfort in the Scriptures (Romans 15:4) (Proverbs 15:3) Jehovah God's eyes are upon all of us -the good and the bad. So, death and the final outcome is left up to Almighty God Jehovah. We can only pray and ask God to help us with the pain and to help us heal in order to deal with life and it daily events.

It has been almost 2 weeks since my 20 year old son committed suicide. I've experienced a lot of deaths in my life, as I come from a large family. But this is the first suicide. He was so happy and full of life. He teased, joked, and liked to pull pranks on us. The one thing everyone comments on is how much he made us all laugh. Three nights before his death we went to a concert and he danced his heart away. I hadn't seen him dance since he was about 5 years old. But I always knew there was something dark in him. And we couldn't fix it. He had reached out in the past when he was depressed, but this time he didn't. My 24-year-old son found him in bed - he had shot himself. Sometimes I feel like I've given so much to others that I haven't had time to grieve myself. My kids and grandkids call almost every day, and I start telling funny "Harold" stories - we feel better when we get off the phone. I guess it's helping all of us.

You might know someone who ‘wants the pain to stop’—so much that he or she has expressed a desire to end it all. If that is the case, what can you do?
But what if you yourself have had thoughts of ending it all? “Reach out,” urges Dr. McCoy. “Tell someone how you’re feeling—a parent, another relative, a friend, a teacher, a minister—someone who cares, who will take you seriously, listen to you, and help other important people in your life hear what you need to say.”
You have nothing to lose—and everything to gain—by talking out your problems. Consider a Bible example. At one point in his life, the righteous man Job said: “My soul certainly feels a loathing toward my life.” But then he added: “I will give vent to my concern about myself. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul!” Job was in despair, and he needed to talk about his pain. You may find some relief by confiding in a mature friend.
Of course, talking about your problems won’t make your problems disappear. But it might help you to put them in perspective, and the support of a trusted confidant may be just what you need to work out some practical solutions.
When undergoing distress, remember this: No matter how dire a situation may seem, in time things will change. The psalmist David, who was no stranger to adversity, said in prayer: “I have grown weary with my sighing; all night long I make my couch swim; with my tears I make my own divan overflow.” Yet, in another psalm he wrote: “You have changed my mourning into dancing for me
David knew from experience that life’s problems ebb and flow. True, some may seem overwhelming—at least for now. But be patient. Things change, often for the better. In some cases, problems might be alleviated in ways that you couldn’t have predicted. In other cases, you may discover a way of coping that you hadn’t considered. The point is, distressing problems will not stay the same forever....
The most important form of communication you can have is prayer. You can pray as did David: “Search through me, O God, and know my heart. Examine me, and know my disquieting thoughts, and see whether there is in me any painful way, and lead me in the way of time indefinite.”—
Prayer is not a mere crutch. It is real communication with your heavenly Father, who wants you to “pour out your heart” to him.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Tell me about him if you would like.
