What is the difference where one would go........it would be a total waste of

wonderful people......and we can support each other so it doesn't become an

alternative..... dash

Re: Don't know how to cope - Dani

Dear Pamela,

I could get into a long, philosophical debate with you on the issue of

suicide and the Bible, but that is not the purpose of this list. The

purpose is to provide help and support to others who are dealing with

fibro pain. I do not know what you are going through right now...only

you and God know the answer to that. I do know that I live in hell on

earth as relates to my fibro pain. And today is especially bad, because

it marks the one year anniversary of the death of my mother. So I will

leave it up to you and each individual on this as to whether suicide

condemns you to hell or not. Speaking for myself, whether it comes out

and says so in scripture or not, I am not willing to take the chance.

ARE YOU???

Hi Jill:

Just wondering if you have tried to get Medical Assistance/Medicaid, to pay

for the doctors visits and medication...Not sure exactly of your situation, and

maybe you have checked into this already...

Let me know if I can be of any help..

Dear Pamela,

If you can come up with $365 by May 7th, will you reconsider your

decision to end your life. If so, I will appeal to a Christian prayer

group that I belong to, and see what I can come up with.

Hugs and prayers,

Dear Isavonna,

Perhaps you misread my message to Pamela. I did not say that everyone

who committed suicide was going to hell. It is not for me to make that

kind of statement or judgement. I have enough of a problem just keeping

my own backyard clean enough to, hopefully, get to heaven when I die.

What I did say was that I thought it was an individual thing, and that

for me, at least, it was a sin. But God forgives sins, if only we ask

Him to do so. So I was in no way trying to tell Pamela that she was

doomed for hell if she committed suicide, only tha she should give it

careful though before she did it.

My husbands oldest son, Sam, committed suicide in 1992 at age 21 by

hanging hiimself, and it is something that Elwyn has never really

recovered from. Had Sam left a note, I dont think that would have

helped either. Suicide is the easy way out for the person doing it.

Many is the time I have found myself looking at a full botttle of

Oxycontin, thinking how easy it would be to just take the whole bottle

and go to sleep. No more fibro... no more pain & suffering. What an

easy way to die. But how horrible for the loved ones I would leave

behind, wondering what they could have said or done differently. So I

will continue to battle the pain, excruciating though it may be, and

will accept it as the cross God gave me to bear. I will consider it an

honor that He thought me strong enough to carry such a heavy load and

still find time to reach out to others through my prison ministry.

gentle, fuzzy hugs,

Sharon - Memphis, TN
