my 45 year old son committed suicide in may, he was living in texas, i live in mississippi, he was raised here and had many family members and friends here so on june 4, i had his obituary run in our local paper...on june 6, i got a letter in the mail from a town 12 miles away, thinking it was from someone who knew him i opened it to find that it was from a jw who i do not know and it contained a typed note along with that damn when someone you love dies tract in it!
i was furious at the person who sent it until i thought about how brainwashed they are and how important it is for them to get their time in even if it's done in such a disgusting manner as reading the obituaries and imposing their screwed up beliefs on people like myself who are in pain and grieving the loss of their first born son!
i tore it to bits and put it in the trash where it belongs.
I had a very elderly JW relative by marriage who couldn't d to d .
So an Elder suggested he scan the local papers obituary columns and write JW letters to the bereaved familys.
Many of those who died were old aquaintances or friends etc.
He was house bound , ill and lonely.
The letter writing process made him depressed . I wonder why ?

I feel I am completely without foundation.
I have no faith I have no future - its like being on a raft in the middle of the ocean - where ever I am carried there I must go.
Oh hell I don't know.
