My husband just told me last night, that when I was away on business last week, that he seriously was on the verge of committing suicide.
He went to a known ‘suicide spot’ on a high bridge and finally several hours after specialist police talked him down he left.
I am so scared, shocked, worried and devasted for him. My husband is my entire world, please pray for him that he will accept help in some manner.

Thank you.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with. thee.
Blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
May the Lord protect him from himself and from his deep despair, may TheLord send Him His grace and His light, may He gives him the strenght to endure this moment, may He make him feel there is something behond the nothingness he is experiencing and that is destructurating his being. May the Lord forgive his loosing faith.
I pray the Holy Virgin to be close to him with her holy prayers, so to be defended from the actions of the devil. May our Saviour have mercy on him and take his hand. He is the same little boy he was long time ago. He has the same heart, the same eyes. Please Lord help him and his wife. Please don’t let him loose the way to You.
Please Lord make this man feel the love of his wife, and this love be a path to Your love.

God bless you both
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee 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.

Suicide comes often from depression.
He should see a good doctor immediately.

I’m praying for both of you. Your husband should seek help right away!
 
Loving Father, we are all your children and you wish us all to be joyous in life although sometimes we may not see this and we are led astray by despair. Please provide for this husband all the care he needs at this time. We thank you for making so many good things available to us today to help with depression and thoughts of suicide, everything from medicines to doctors to support groups to share our burdens. Please guide his steps to recovery and also strengthen and comfort his loving and caring wife and all of his loved ones. In Christ’s name we thank you for all that you will do.

Amen.
 
When people are in the depths of depression it is often seen as just too hard to take the necessary steps to get professional help. Please, please, call your insurance company today (or find out how to get free mental health coverage if you don’t have insurance). Get a list of local therapists who take your insurance, and give your husband 2-3 of those numbers. For confidentiality reasons, the ins. co. and any therapist office really won’t be able to talk w/ you about him, but you can definitely narrow down the list for him and hand him the tel#s. But don’t stop there. Sit with him while he makes the calls to get an appt. If he doesn’t want you in the room once the conversation starts, at least stay w/ him while he dials. I know this all sounds silly but I’m telling you from experience that when you’re depressed, all this stuff seems overwhelming and not worth it anyway. The reason it’s good to have a couple therapists on the list is b/c sometimes a person doesn’t ‘click’ w/ the first person and it’s good to talk to a few. Often you even have to make an appt and just have a ‘first session’ for you and the therapist to test the waters. This is normal and a total pain, esp. when you’re feeling so horrible about life, but once it’s a necessary step to get the help he needs. Pray, of course, too. I will also pray for you.
 
Felicity, so sorry you and him are going through this. My husband is a recovering addict and has tried suicide on several occasions. Thankfully, he received help.

Please talk to your husband and see about him getting help.

I am offerring prayers for you both and tonight at the Adoration Chapel, I will put you in the “prayer basket”

Blessings.
 
I’m so sorry for what you are both going through and I pray that your husband gets the help he needs. I am amazed that the police did not take him into psychiatric custody.
 
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 art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.

Amen.
