Does anyone here celebrate holidays? Why?

by Rocky_Girl in

i didn't originally celebrate anything, but when my oldest son started school i decided that it was unfair to put him through what i went through in school.

i have to admit that i am loving the holidays, even though some of that old mindset tries to make me feel guilty.

we focus on what the holidays mean to us as a family and enjoying time together.

dear all,.

how do you help someone who doesn't want to live anymore?.

my cousin, who seemingly has everything, good looks, a good job, a husband and family who loves her, has absolutely no wish to go on living.

Dee, thanks for telling your own experience. That is very helpful. Maybe a dog can help her then. She will definately get out more and meet more people. Go on dog shows/exhibitions and dog courses etc.

I will also not ask her so much but let her open her heart to me if she feels like it.

I'm glad you're feeling better in your own struggles. Best of luck!

How do you replace a family?

by YoursChelbie in

as a result of wanting to have a normal life, away from the dogma of the jw religion,.

many have lost contact with parents, children and in many cases, their spouse.. my divorce was uncontested and i was fortunate enough to get out of from watchtower control with my children.

my parents were never involved with the religion,.

I've lost my sister, who's still in, and it kills me. I can only hope she will come to her senses also one day.

In the meantime to fill the void, I stay very close to my brother and his family and my parents, who, thank god, our out!!

Also I've many new close friends who gives me so much love, support and joy. And of course this place is wonderful

Dear All,

How do you help someone who doesn't want to live anymore?

My cousin, who seemingly has everything, good looks, a good job, a husband and family who loves her, has absolutely no wish to go on living. She finds no joy in anything. Her only reason to stay alive is of consideration of her family but one day that won't stop her either I'm afraid. She just has so much sorrow in her soul. She loves dogs and will soon get one as a last attempt she says...

She's an inactive witness and seriously doubt the WT hence that makes her anxiety worse losing hope abt paradise.

I love her so much but I feel so helpless. It has gone so far and just saying you love her etc doesn't help anyone who's that depressed.
Do you think there's anything I can do to help her feel joy again?

She's on medication and gets therapy.

Thanks for your support.
Love Newborn
