We hope you too can find some help in these thoughts.<\/p>\n<h3>Things To Keep In Mind<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>You will not always feel the pain this deeply. Time does heal. A walk in nature ~ or having a dog or a cat will bring amazing comfort to you.<\/li>\n<li>It is important to know that your loved one\u2019s anguished mental condition prevented them from thinking clearly.<\/li>\n<li>It is important to be grateful that in their anguish, your loved one did not cause the death of any other people, as is sometimes the case.<\/li>\n<li>A heathy person\u2019s primary desire is to protect their life in any way they can. Therefore, when a person chooses to <em>end<\/em> their life, it is <em>their decision<\/em>, and no one else is responsible.<\/li>\n<li>God is a god of love and compassion, and knows the heart of each of us. It is not possible for God to stop loving anyone, especially one in such deep distress. Therefore, your loved one rests in the heart of God. He will listen when you ask for Him to hold your loved one in compassion, and heal their broken heart and mind. He will also heal <em>your <\/em>broken heart, and the hearts of all of those who ask for this gift.<\/li>\n<li>Life is eternal and we <em>will<\/em> one day be reunited with all of our loved ones, especially this precious one.<\/li>\n<li>The greatest gift you can give this loved one is to hold them in <em>your<\/em> heart with complete love and gratitude, knowing that they are being healed, and rest in the heart of God. Only fear and anxiety can hold them back from this immersion in love. So be at peace, and offer thanks for your time with them.<\/li>\n<li>Two of the greatest enemies of our peace of mind are <em>hunger <\/em>and <em>fatigue<\/em>. Therefore, it is your duty, to yourself, to eat well and regularly \u2013 and to rest often and enter sleep with a peaceful heart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>We Are Here To Help<\/h3>\n<p>If you are looking for support in this difficult time, visit our website \u00a0to learn how we can help\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collaborativemn.com\/counseling-services\/individual-counseling\">https:\/\/www.collaborativemn.com\/counseling-services\/individual-counseling<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Losing a loved one to suicide can be a very painful experience for those of us left behind.
