Mourning Times

I just got word the other day that an old friend of mine from my hometown comitted suicide the other day. Its just one of those things that takes everyone by suprise. Then you run the taunting gauntlet of the mind asking all the questions and pondering all the senarios. Probably the biggest question of WHY? Enters the mind most frequently. I suppose there are many factors that come into play with any suicide, and I've often wondered what happens to that persons soul? Is it like the unpardonable sin? I don't think so, but what happens or better yet what did happen that would cause a person to take his or her own life? Again many factors, I suppose.
I posted a book review about a month ago on Judas and Jesus which I think helped me and broaden my view and perspective on suicide.
With all this being said, my friend, JAY, will be greatly missed and my prayers go out to all the family during this tradgic time of grieving.
