AboutLynne Luckett Expertise I can answer questions about surviving suicide, about losing a family member to suicide and how to heal the hole that is left behind by a loved one committing suicide.
Experience My father committed suicide when I was 8 years old. It took me 13 years to even start dealing with his death but once the healing started it was truly an educational experience. I know now that he is with me all the time and though his physical self is no longer here, his spirtual self lives on in me and my son. I'm now 49 and have talked to several people about losing a loved one to suicide and have received some positive feedback about my advice. I am a medical transcripitionist and have been in the medical field for 20+ years. I feel I survived my dad's death to have the understanding to be able to help others. I love to help others.

Answer My friend Keisha!
I hear your cry and so does God! After all, you reached out to me. I wish with all my heart that I was qualified to help you get the self esteem you need to realize that your life is a precious gift from God! I hear the pain in every word that you write. But Keisha I am not a trained professional and do not feel comfortable counseling you. You MUST seek help with a trained counselor or psychiatrist immediately. If you can't find one on your own then call a hotline and ask for help. There are experts on here who ARE trained professionals and would, I'm sure, be more than happy to help you through these troubling times.
What I CAN tell you, Keisha, is that you are a precious child of God and this gift of life that He has given you is not to be squandered away. There is a reason you are here and your life, I am sure, impacts many others; without you they would not make it. Your question is "should I kill myself". ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Please Keisha, seek help immediately. And know that I love you and so does God! Let me know how things are going.
