When one you love has chosen to die.
You realize the joy they shared was a lie.
Those left behind feel pain and emptiness.
We feel anger and hurt their choice senseless.
I've learned it is impossible to understand their choice.
At times we shed a tear, wishing to hear their voice.
Their pain unbearable, to give up the fight.
Living life in darkness, unable to see the light.
Have you lost a loved one and find it hard to deal?
Has life become painful, at times seem surreal?
Instead of anger or hurt, chose to love and pray.
Allow Father in Heaven judge, live life day by day.
Place your heart in the Fathers hands.
Know He loves you and understands.

I read this poem several times and it was a blessing each time. I think it is a great treatment of something, death, that has happened to , and affected almost everyone. The message is clear; God is great and we must learn to trust. Some things we will never understand until the Judgement day. We yet feel the pain and suffering of loss.
Thanks again.
We lost our youngest son to suicide and my wife, and I had to place it in Gods' hands. I feel this is the only answer to the anger and hurt one feels when this happens. Thank you.

You are so welcome. I've officiated at several funerals for folks who've lost someone to suicide and have tried my best to help that God loves all of us even when the choice is so devastating. Randy6
