Need prayers for my niece

15 years ago

My niece who is 22 is going through a very hard time right now. 4 years ago her boyfriend (her true love) was killed in a car accident. For a couple of years after that is was a very scary time (she tried to kill herself a couple of times).

This past weekend her current boyfriend of 2 years died of an asthma attack.

I am so scared for her right now. Her mother says her eyes look like she wants to end her life. My niece was catonic, very cold and kept falling at the hospital where they took her boyfriend. The next few months are going to be very nerve wracking as my sister and her husband try and keep a very close watch on my niece.

Thank you all. I forgot to tell you my sister's name. When you are offering prayers, they are for Phyllis. She has been so upbeat and positive during this fight with lung cancer (for the past 3 years or so) but she's having a very hard time right now. I think she's afraid of the unknown, for the first time. I know your prayers and the prayers of many others are surrounding her and that they are helping her.

Great news! Now we hope that healing may proceed as fully and quickly as possible, and uneventfully. And as far as you feel it appropriate/would be appreciated, tell her that a number of people across a couple of countries at least are pulling for her and sending their good wishes. And may she be restored to as good health as possible. ole joyful

lilac wont do in texas and purple vitex is a nice easy substitute. It flowers, affordable, easy to find and designated a TX superstar. Here is a pic of what it can look like at maturity, so plan for size. Since they are very easy to propagate, you often see small sizes sold and people buy them w/o realizing how big they can get, and fast.I consider gardenias moody. I cant grow one to save my life, yet the neighbor two doors down, who is not a gardener, has an enormous gardenia. If your niece has limited experience growing stuff, gardenia might be frustrating.

I'm adding her to my prayer list. We don't need anymore suicides. May God grant her the peace she needs and her parents the wisdom they need to help her.

Having lived on the other side with depression I 'know the feeling of hopelessness'. I hope her family can get her into her family doctor and counseling if available. No one ever really knew what I was thinking - and neither did I. It's minute by minute when you feel that down. Especially with a second time round losing someone you love.

I pray for your niece, and for the strength of family to stay close. If she lives with family, without any joking, is it possible to suggest that tylenol and medications be put in a safe place. If your niece is on any medication I hope her parents can check on that too in some way.

I feel for your niece. May God Bless her and keep her safe. May God Bless her to have the courage to talk about this and keep putting one foot infront of the other.

So tragic. Hope she gets counseling. I can't imagine what the family is going thru. I wonder if a grief support group would help.

That is so sad - how devastating for her to go through at such a young age - I certainly hope that the love of family and friends will give her the strength to get through this ordeal.

In that she's 22,I don't know if this can be done, but maybe her parents should talk with her physician about her mental state. There may be something that would be available for asssisting her.
