There is this tragedy i watched yesterday about a teen girl who had been struggling to get over the death of her dad. We girls happen to be mostly daddie´s girls and the loss of our daddies can collapse the whole world around us.
This particular girl turned to the cyber world for help. You know that you can find alsmost anything online today. When you goggle "trauerhilfe" you get 387,000 hits.
She connected with other mourners online with whom she could share her feelings and from whom she felt understood. Nothing unusual, right? The problem started when a particular psychologically sick wanna be mourner contacted her. He would write and talk to her for hours everyday. He convinced her that he was her best and only friend. He begged her to trust him. "Having listened to you and your story, i think you will never get over it, the only way to free yourself from this pain is suicide." he told her severally. You could read from her text that she didnt want to die. She wanted another option, but the man remained persistent. No one in her family was aware of what was going on. They actually thought that she is on the best way to recovery.
Only to be surprised one day when they came into her room and she had hang herself. Her computer was on with the chats and suicide-directions from the crazy guy open.
How often do we feel so low, so lost, misunderstood, helpless, alone? Moments that friends and family seem so far away. They might be physically there, but emotionally they are in a different planet. We assume they will not get us. They can not hear this anymore, they are fed up with us; we tell ourselves.
There is this satisfying feeling that i have in knowing that everything that happens to me has a deeper purpose that i can understand at the moment. Situations that appear dark and doomed are there for a reason.
If we loose a loved one, we fall terminally ill, loose all our property, fail the final exam or loose our dream job; i wish for us to find consolation in the right places. From people who will help us find that 1% posive in a pot full of negativeness. There is always that small good thing in every situation. That is the tiny, little thing that will help us carry on day by day till we are over it one day.
I, for instant read the bible because that is where i find the best encouranging and remolding verses. Others will read a self-help book, watch a self-help movie or talk to a parent or a friend.
Let us look for help in the right places!!!
Have a great Sunday guys and a blessed new week.
Lots of luv
