A mother’s journey from profound sorrow to renewed hope and acceptance.

My son, age 32, committed suicide 5 years ago, leaving behind a wife and 3 small children. He suffered from PTSD after serving in Afghanistan (USMC 12 years). One night his demons pulled him into the darkness and he took his life. You can imagine a mother's pain and grief. He was my only son and my youngest. I was devastated and overwhelmed with grief.
I asked Jesus, the Divine Physician, to heal me so I could be present and in the moment for my other children and grandchildren. Over the course of a few weeks, I moved into acceptance and a sense of peace. I was able to enjoy my family again.
I feel confident in my prayer to Jesus, asking Him to have mercy on him and admit him into his heavenly banquet if not there already. I continue to do this daily as I know firsthand that prayer is answered. All praise and honor to you, Lord Jesus! Hosanna in the highest!
