TheWahoo Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Several years ago, a club to which I was a member hosted what was then known as the Futures Tour (now the Symetra Tour). On Monday and Tuesday of tournament week, several of the ladies would play with members for course knowledge. I had the absolute pleasure of enjoying a round with Erica Blasberg. Erica was an extremely attractive young lady and ever so pleasant. A couple of years afterward, she committed suicide. While my time with her was brief, she gave no indications that she would ever even consider suicide. Given her appearance and personality, I could only see a bight future for her. One can never truly know what's going through the mind of another or what event may occur in another's life to cause such an action.

He will always steer you in the right direction Indeed and yet there are dark moments for Christians too - lots of storms come our way in life and the devil always lurks. Sometimes Jesus provides help in very ordinary ways, like hotlines and such. It's okay to use whatever is at our disposal to preserve life. Also I want to be clear that while I'm a Christian Pastor I care about everyone whom I meet. I don't care who you are or what you believe - I'm here for you.

Camcmart Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I absolutely agree with everything said. With suicide rates skyrocketing as of recent, mental health is now a huge concern but also a huge mystery to so many people. Treat everyone with as much love and compassion as possible. You have no idea how they're actually feeling that day and a friendly gesture or good conversation could save their life. We've seen far too many lives taken by mental health disorders and it's especially painful when they're close to us. Always lend a hand, smile or shoulder when the opportunity presents itself. I thank God, my family, golf and this forum for being an escape from the troubling world that we live in.

Shankster Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 My wife and I have lost a total of 8 friends from suicide. It is no joke. If you see warning signs don't wait. I've dealt with a few attempts from people at work, and lost a good buddy. Don't hesitate to throw them in the car and drive straight to the ER.

Jon54 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I've suffered from anxiety and depression all my adult life. While I've never personally considered suicide, I can understand it, especially as I age. You get to a point in life where you realize that there is more behind you than in front. As one who finds himself in “dark placesâ€, I always appreciate it when someone is simply there and patient with me. For you believers, if you remember Job's trials, his 3 friends sat with him for a week. Then they began to question what he had done to to deserve such trials. They did good to show up and sit with him. They failed when they opened their mouths. If you don't understand depression, it's hard to understand what a person who suffers from this is going through. My advice is simply be a friend. revkev, JohnSmalls, bens197 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've fond that the best things to do on pastoral visits are - say hello - sit down, ask what's up - listen - read Scripture - listen - pray, sing a hymn, listen some more, pronounce a blessing, listen, give them my cell number and ask when they'd like me to come back but tell them they can call sooner if they need me.

perseveringgolfer Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Good thread and relevant to everyone. In Life I believe everyone is fighting their own battles. We don't know what they are when we see the facade but a kind word or gesture to even the grumpiest/angriest of people might help them more than you or I will ever know. Hard to follow that advice when an angry motorist shouts or gesticulates abuse at you but worth bearing in mind before reacting. I worked with a chap who was (seemed) happy and positive in life. He threw himself in front of a train! no tell tale signs and nothing obvious as we all thought about it for days after, he was least likely to have any problems, we thought. At GSWAG...I am so heartbroken for your loss, I clicked the link and when it got to the part about your 15 year old son I couldnt read anymore, sorry. I have a young son and I worry every day.

AveryDonna Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The topic of suicide is even an actual topic, and I can say that a very big problem is often found in the 21st century and most often in a number of young people. I work in a rehabilitation center that you can find on the platform iinsight.biz and I work with people who had suicidal intentions and were stopped by their relatives in time before doing something stupid. But they took a lot of pills, but they weren't that dangerous, and they just had intoxication in their system. Most often, people who wanted to commit suicide are very emotionally sensitive, and we have to be very careful with them, because an extra word can lead to consequences.

I see the Veterans Administration for my medical. When I first started going to them, after loosing my job and medical insurance, suicide prevention is extremely high on their agenda. Everytime I call for a prescription refill or to schedule an appointment I am always asked about this and assured I have resources at my disposal through the VA if needed. I am uncertain what the suicide rate is among the general population, but I do know my brother and sister veterans are at a higher risk.

When I first started going to them, after loosing my job and medical insurance, suicide prevention is extremely high on their agenda. Everytime I call for a prescription refill or to schedule an appointment I am always asked about this and assured I have resources at my disposal through the VA if needed. I am uncertain what the suicide rate is among the general population, but I do know my brother and sister veterans are at a higher risk. I retired 21 years ago from the USAF, I am pretty sure we have a much lower suicide rate than the Marines and the Army. When a Solider or Marine retire or separate. there is very little draw down time, you could be getting shot at in Afghanistan ( before the evacuation) and two months later your a civilian wondering what happened. There is also a mentality amongst the military that if you seek help, you have signed your career away, that's the way it used to be when I joined in the 80's, it has not changed much from what I understand.

In my role at work, I am role modeling; I am talking about how I have gone to EAP and that I speak to a therapist. I want our guys, my crew to see that it's something they should consider if they start feeling the world closing in on them. Life is hard and we all can afford to cut each other some slack. Depression and anxiety are perfectly normal behaviors to acquire and there are always people who will be willing to listen to you before it manifests itself. Keep up the good work Paul!
