My coworker committed suicide about two weeks ago and its affected me. I have been down and depressed. I didn’t know her or anything…but I feel upset about it. Everyone at work has moved on…and a year from now she will be completely forgotten. She liked to party and drink. The last thing she posted on facebook was a picture of herself at a club.

I wonder if she made it…

Maybe that’s the Spirit’s way of telling you to pray for her, i.e., you have another thread in which you can pray for her (I prayed for her today), although I will say a prayer for you too. God bless!
 
Continuing prayers for her soul, and no she will not be forgotten by her loved ones, that is just your sad feelings speaking.
As Josie rightly said, pray for her and her family. Families usually suffer greatly when a family member suicides.
This girl’s death may have linked into your own depressed feelings? so please God you will work towards a happier and more positive hope for fulfillment in your life.
May God abundantly bless you.
Kind wishes,
Trishie
 
I think Blessed Ann Emmerich sad those who commit suicide are required to spend the entire time they would have lived in purgatory. She said when they see all the things they could have done in their life their regret and suffering is unbearable. You should pray for her all your life because she might have lived a long time, and your prayers will alleviate her suffering, praying for souls in purgatory is a very good act of charity. Also she may seem forgotten but there will be other colleagues who are deeply affected too. Such things affect many people deeply but there is not much more that can be said after a week or too. There will be others like you who have not forgotten. Will pray for her too. How sad.

Purgatory isn’t supposed to be unbearable suffering . . . especially considering that one rarely commits suicide with a clear mind. Personally, I would not have posted this. It won’t be of any comfort to anyone.

OP, praying for you.

Party and Drink?
Well was it from a Drug Overdose or too much Alcohol, or did she shoot herself?
I mean unless I know some details, I cannot know if maybe it was an accident.
If it was an accidental OD, then it shouldn’t bother you into thinking she went to Hell,
accidents do happen.

I don’t know any Prayers for Suicide.

Thank you for the encouragement. I remember working with her and everything…I’m not sure why its affected me this much…I didn’t even know her.
 
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

Continue to pray for her and her family. When she enters your mind, just say a quick Hail Mary or Our Father (or any prayer) for her. This will help you as well as offering prayers for her. Prayer is always good for you, very calming, and you will feel like you are doing something positive which will also help you heal. Many blessings!
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

†

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Praying for the repose of the soul of your coworker & praying for you also.

Praying also for you in your battle with depression.

the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,

Praying for the soul of your co-worker. Also praying for strength for you.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
