My very dear friends Leslie and Matt have lost their adopted daughter to suicide. She was Matt's niece and they took her in and raised her. The bad life from the original home haunted her and she had fought depression for a long time.
My heart is breaking for them right now and she leaves behind a baby girl. I know the only thing they can do right now is grieve and hold on to God while their friends lift them up continuously in prayer. Matt found this video by students on YouTube. You don't need the sound to understand the meaning. Warning - I cry through it every time.

Another friend wrote on Matt's Gather blog "It is unchangeable, and unchallengeable. No answer is to come from the departed, and speculation is only a path to further pain. Bring old memories of better times to mind, and use the energy of your anger to move forward." Right now the only thing they feel is alternating between pain and numbness and I will keep them in my prayers over and over each day.
Blessings and Love to All,
