Prayers for my girls please

[Janet]

You're welcome here anytime Lynne and can ask for anything. I'm sorry the girls and grandkids are having to deal with this sort of loss.

Dear Jesus, please let Lynne's daughters feel your comforting love. Guide them to know that there was nothing they could have done. Smooth the path for them the next few days and for the many days ahead when they will falter and feel blame again. Touch them in ways that they will know you are with them. Amen

Oh Lynne......don't be afraid to EVER come and let us know what's going on......We love you and you're a part of our family!!

How awful. I'm sure your girls are dealing with all kinds of emotions. Even if your daughter would have stayed with him he would have just found another time to do it.......if that's what he had determined he wanted to do.

My Dad tried to commit suicide......he took pills and my brother found him the next morning.......he ended up in Wichita and filled him with charcoal then was going to release him!! I had a fit and he ended up in evaluation......which still released him in a couple of days.

Another time my Dad was suicidal he was so depressed and as talking about ending it all......so we called a mental health facility and took him there but by that time he was having breathing problems and had to be admitted to the hospital......again, in a couple of days he was released! I ended up getting a court order to have him picked up and placed in a mental facility which after a couple of days asked us (Glen and I) why we were doing this to this poor man because they couldn't find any problems but they kept him a couple of days longer and finally started seeing something. My Dad also was paranoid schiphrenic as well as being depressed. Every where we turned WE were questioned because my Dad knew how he was suppose to act.

I guess where I'm going with all of this is that it's really hard to get help even when you know that they need it. He probably would have straightened up and acted fine if the girls would have tried to get help and still would have done what he did at a different time.

I'm so sorry about all of this.....it's so hard to deal with........You are all in my prayers!!

Lynne,
I'm so very very sorry this had to happen. It just isn't fair and it is so hard on everyone left behind. I hope you all can find the strength to heal little by little. It's just so shocking, I wish it didn't have to happen, ever for anyone. Diana, I think you are so right and I think it is great that you shared your story here with Lynne. Sometimes it feels like all the bad things happen only to "me", but it helps to know others have delt with difficult things and were able to get through them. It's a hard lesson to learn, but an important one.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, i do believe they helped today, things went better than we expected.

So many memories from when we were married, high school friends and kids that my kids grew up with and lost touch with over the years, people that his current wife had not met. So many emotions!!


I thought my youngest would have the hardest time, but it was my oldest that refused to go near her dad, not ready for tomorrow.

Diana, they had just taken him to the doctor last Monday to get some help, i'm not to sure about what happened but i think he was diagnosed as paranoid schiphrenic as well, he has an older brother who has this also. My oldest daughter is the fixer of all things in our family (as she is with my mom) and she feels that she failed her dad in not getting him the help he needed sooner.

Thank you again everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

Lynne, I am so sorry! I can't imagine having to go through something like this. You and your girls are in my prayers.

[DianaB]

He was paranoid schizaphrenic as well.......wow! I can't tell you what all you and the girls would have been dealing with in the future. My Dad was diagnosed when I was in high school so my Mom and I dealt with his problems for years and it was very hard. When my parents finally divorced his care fell on me......thank heavens Glen helped me out or I may have just joined Dad in his mental problems. So hard.

My Dad's thoughts were not real and I can't understand what it would be like to not be able to trust what your mind was telling you. Surely God has a special place for people who have mental illness.

Hugs and prayers for you and your family!

Thinking of you and the girls. Hoping all got through the services okay...such a sad time. I miss you.
