So Much Loss

Yesterday another guy in our community took his life. This is the second one this month. And the sad thing about this one is that he asked for help and we were trying desperately to save him.
I guess there is only so much you can do if someone is so lonely and sad that they feel the only way out is to kill themselves.
It is terribly, horribly sad.
When will it end?
I feel as if I am experiencing loss in every area of my life. In my friendships, at work and at home.
Someone asked me today if I think there is spiritual warfare going on.
That is something I need to ponder.
Maybe so.
I don't feel like Satan is in any way winning the battle though.
I feel, if anything, as if I am ready and able to handle anything that comes my way- because there is so much loss and sadness. Jesus truly is a comfort and a friend...and all I can do is hold his hand and let Him comfort me. I hope that Jeriel has found some peace and the love he so desperately craved - and I hope we can all recover from his death.
