My Unkle Gary committed suicide on Halloween…

I was the last person to speak to him… I knew something was wrong and I told him how much he meant to us… I am still trying to wrap my mind around this. I keep thinking before when someone died I always had hope I would see them again on the other side now I don’t think I have that hope. He was always such a big part of my life, all my life and now theres nothing but this hole and I don’t know how to cope with this, there are no answers and honestly I don’t even know where to begin asking the questions. I am asking for your prayers right now for strength and hope.

Holy Mother Mary please help your child cope with this tragic loss. Where there is pain and confsion please bring peace and healing. Help us always to be open to God’s Presence because we are not alone. In silence and in prayer we will always find Him.

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.
 
From paragraph 2283 of catechism:

‘We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives. By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance. The Church prays for persons who have taken their own lives.’

I will pray for your uncle and for you and your family. While we will not know what happens to our loved ones until we ourselves have died, we should not lose hope.
 
Heavenly Father, with your unfathomable mercy and deep understanding of Uncle Gary’s limitations, with the special grace you can impart to souls for repentance in a split second just before each soul’s moment of death, Uncle Gary’s soul may very well have been saved. Please help S4angel to keep praying for her uncle’s soul and never to despair of his salvation. We really have no idea what has become of his soul and should pray for him. Despair does not come from you and you do not want this from any one of us. There is that touching story about the man who jumped off of a bridge and killed himself: His wife was certain that he was damned. A saint - I believe it was the Cure of Ars - had words with his wife and assured her that at the moment before his body hit the water the husband did repent of his sins and by the grace of God was saved. How did the Cure know this? By an act of God. May S4angel recall this story whenever she is tempted to despair. Please grant her strength and hope. Heal her injured heart with your Holy Spirit’s radiant love and lift her up on eagle wings to comfort her. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Amen.

Angel, I am so sorry to hear of this. I will join in prayer for your beloved uncle, that you and he will have a joyous reunion in Heaven one day. I’ll also ask that Our Merciful Lord will shower you and your family with comfort and strength at this time.
