 Please pray hard for my sister. Her deepest friend committed suicide on Monday morning. Not only does my sister miss her friend, she also spoke to him that night and, while she knew he was upset, had no clue what he was about to do. She is sure that it is all her fault. She should have done this and she should have that and on and on. She is not suicidal, but she has no desire to live. She feels no faith (she stayed up through the night praying for him even though she didn't believe he was in danger). She feels nothing but pain. I have been going to spend every night and most of the day with her since. My husband has been taking off work. I HATE to ask prayers for myself in this situation but I have never been so emotionally spent in my life. And while I remind her that God is there even if we don't believe, I am having just a little trouble not being mad at Him.
Thank you.

Jen, you definitely need the prayers just as much. You are going through an emotional wringer right now with all this on your family! Praying that you can be a support for your sister.
And praying for both of your sisters, and the repose of his soul.

Jen, it sounds as though your sister could benefit from speaking with an empathetic grief counselor when things calm down. You both need and deserve prayers, and I'll be praying for you and for your sister's friend's soul.

Oh Jen, I'm praying for you all. This always seems to happen. They always seem to call someone first. And the person they call always winds up feeling responsible. It's so sad...
