You are Strong

Image may contain: textI am a member of the suicide prevention group on facebook, and a few others. It hurts me so much when people comment that they don't want to carry on anymore. How can we let them know that they matter to us, even if we haven't met them. Today, I went to get some deli meats at the John Volcan Academy, a rehab place in Surrey. One young man shared that he just had his mother here for a short visit, and how terribly he cried once she had to leave. Some of these young men (mostly) spend over a year in that place, with barely any interaction  from the outside world. I prayed with the young man and reassured him, that he is wanted and needed, and he can start his life new once his term is over. He was so sweet, and encouraged me to come by more often. Here is their website
