    Thank you for sharing your story. After a lifelong battle of mental illness, I lost my brother to suicide 2 weeks ago. He was 46. I cried listening to your story. May your son Rest In Peace.

    What a gift to have a mom who understood the pain he endured. May God hold you close and give you the strength to continue to be an advocate for the hurting.

    thank you so much because this will help us to understand more deeper the pain and depress of all the people, this is helping us to open up our eyes wide and not just judge anybody who commit suicide.
    Thank you sooo much!
    You are a big example of good daughter of God .

    Awe.... I’m so glad you shared this. I’ve lost my Dad, Mom, a brother my only sibling, and now my husband. The death of two of my loved ones were caused by hospitals. A hospital made a very bad mistake on my husband during an angioplasty procedure. He ended up dying 5 times during that procedure at the age of 40. But recovered. He started having cognition problems 6-7 years later. Doctors misdiagnosed him and started giving medications that were causing him harm. I can’t go into all of it on this comment. But I hope someday I can tell my story because we encountered multiple mistakes from the medical world that ultimately caused my husband’s death. There is only so many mistakes a human body can take. This irresponsibility needs to stop!!!

    Thank you for your story, Kay. I can’t help but strongly relate to it with my own daughter. The story mirrors exactly the same. I am finding it difficult to even find therapists that specialize in DBT ... there aren’t many in the smaller communities and it makes me sad. You are a powerful spiritual woman and I appreciate your voice. Much love.

I miss Tyler, and think about him every day still, but I don't cry nearly as much. I mostly get excited that I will see him again, in heaven. Tyler's 24th birthday will be in two days😊.

      @@FAUXHAIRFABULOUS I can't even begin to imagine how it must feel to lose your child. I've been going through a divorce, I was married 15 years, last month my wife moved to a different city and took my children with her. So I've been struggling desperately to learn how to live without them here...but when I read your comment, and others like it, it really makes me question my own strength. You are far stronger and more faithful than I am today. I don't know how I could make it through if I lost them. God is truly with you, by your side and in your spirit. It's very admirable what you have accomplished, and very inspiring to see the depth of your faith in finding joy in the promise that you'll be with Him in paradise one day. I have no doubt that He is also with you in spirit now, and waiting for you in person in Heaven, where time does not exist, in the company of Christ. 🙏🙏

      @@dnice626 Dan, thank you for sharing your pain. I can imagine divorce could seem similar to death..both are a loss of someone you love. It sounds like you are a believer in Jesus and you know this world is full of pain. Following God is not easy all of the time. I have felt that anyway. He somehow understands (well, he was rejected, abandoned, etc in His life). Because he understands I think he pours out extra grace onto our hearts in the midst of the hurt.
      I didn't ask for his grace and mercy , but he just knew. He numbed the pain for the time he knew I needed numbed. Then he allowed me to grieve and get angry and go deep into anguish and some depression and anxiety. He didn't let me stay there long though...he brought me out of the mud and on to a rock (like it says in Psalms) to finish grieving. The grieving of my loss still hurt but he was supernaturally giving blessings and joy in my heart, and and more hope than I ever imagined.
      I was never interested in His coming to get his children at the rapture. It scared me and I thought my life was going pretty well...as well as I thought it could be. I was loving my life and would get upset if someone talked about leaving this world for eternity. I had heard how boring heaven would be and didn't want it. I was a believer though, and loved the Lord. I just also loved my life here on planet earth. It wasn't until I lost Tyler that my perspective for all of that changed. That's a huge reason I got so much joy and hope after the grief. I began studying heaven (it's NOT boring), and the rapture and prophecy. It completely changed my world, and heart.. Eternity is now set in my soul, not temporary earth.
      I have spread the gospel to many via my youtube channel and just at work and in life. It makes me happy, and it's because Jesus is in me, giving me motivation and courage to do it! Jesus is coming SOON! Sooner than we ever thought. He's at the door.
      Tyler was a believer before he died so he is free and waiting for mom, dad, brother and 2 sisters. We are coming, Ty! Thank you Jesus!
      Thank you again, Dan, for sharing your story. I hope the Lord will do for you what he did for me. I don't know why he wouldn't. 😊❤

    As a Mom who struggles myself with depression. I am so glad you shared your story. Within the church depending where you go people hold you at arms length and you must have sin in your life. There are many pastors who don't know how to held a person like me. With this battle I hide myself in God's word and He holds me close to His heart. With a sick brain I called a friend where is this verse? Psalms16: 11"....in Thy presence is fullness of joy..." This my life verse.

    Thank you for sharing, Kay. My heart breaks for your loss. My son just turned 30 and was diagnosed with mental illness. He was hospitalized 4 times from 2014 to date. During hospitalization, they gave him strong psychotropic drugs which are so harmful to the system. I had no control over his meds and dosages while he was hospitalized by court order each time. However, as soon as he was discharged I started to wean him off those drugs that are worse than street drugs for the most part. I sincerely believe that those drugs, especially the new SSRIs cause more harm than good, but our Government will not agree to "just say no" to these economy-boosting drugs. It's all about the root of all evil, money. The first line of defense should be deliverance and maintaining a close relationship with God. Drugs should NEVER be the first line of defense. There is kindness, love, understanding, good nutrition, including brain-boosting nutrients and avoidance of foods, sweets, and drinks that will exacerbate mental illness signs and symptoms. I believe that so-called mental illness is nothing but spiritual warfare. A good deliverance minister should be involved in the team of experts for each of these patients. I am unable to find such a person in my city. I know that my son's "chemical imbalance in the brain" was caused by the drugs he was prescribed by a psychiatrist he was seeing for anxiety without our knowledge when he was 20 years old. His personality made a complete metamorphosis from that time. These drugs CAUSE a chemical imbalance in the brain. They do not fix what does not exist prior to the administration of these drugs. I requested that my son be prescribed the very lowest dose of only ONE drug which I consider the best of the bad bunch. I refused to fill the other prescriptions of Depakote and Invega. If he gets that it will be completely out of my control. Death is the end game for most of these drugs when the dosage is exceeded, and even when it's not. Everything, including medication, should be used in moderation. God is in control, the psychiatrists aren't. The mental institutions hold these patients like prisoners until they get the maximum funds from their insurance companies, and they use their clients as unwitting human guinea pigs for research.
