The grief was gripping. Why did God take my son?
A few years back, I had a very difficult and unexpected tragedy in my life – I lost my son. I was very angry at God. I asked why my son – a wonderful father of four and a great husband – had to die.

I was raised in a church home, but walked away from the church at a very early age... I struggled with feelings of worthlessness and depression pretty much my whole life. Also at a very early age got involved in drug usage - abuse, drug abuse. And got out of that, but you know still struggled with other addictions.
Earlier on in my life, depression was so gripping that I didn’t care if I ever woke up again.
As a pastor’s wife and young mother with three children under three, there were many demands on my life. Overtime, I began to get very discouraged. My husband was working late hours and I felt like I was doing too much myself. I felt hopeless and helpless.
