Uncle Steve's wisdom

We received the news of Preston’s death and we dropped everything and gathered immediately at the Brown’s home. 

My uncle steve came down-- he's in his 70's and his body doesn't work great, but because he also lost a son to suicide, he knew he was needed.

In my sister’s immense grief and sorrow my uncle Steve held Angela’s face tenderly and told her to look at him.  He relayed losing a child to suicide is devastating beyond words.  But for the Spirit to do its job as the comforter you need to do your best to stay out of regret.   You can’t blame yourself. You were the best parent for Preston.

He said,  “There is nothing on earth to heal this wound. It’s all Heavenly help that is needed."
