I couldn’t have said it better myself

on depression and suicide…

on failing motherhood…

I thank God for YOU today.  After reading my post yesterday, my husband said he definitely learned something from this last depressive attack on me.  He said he tried to suffer silently with me.  But, it didn’t work.  We only grew further apart and the clouds darkened.  However, when he started to vocalize his pain, my pain, our struggle people prayed – YOU prayed – and the change was apparent.  Thank you.

  1. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

  2. Shane I’m so happy things are right in your world at this time and you’re feeling like yourself again. As we learn, time and time again, prayer is a powerful gift. When I was growing up things like this weren’t discussed or talked about. People suffered in silence about many things. As an adult I can remember saying to my Mom the more people that know the more prayers are said. She hesitantly agreed.
    As a couple it is a strain when one has no clue really what the other is going through and with God’s help you came together on this. Oh and what an awesome feeling! Another prayer of thanks goes up for you and your Hubby. Have a great day!:)

  3. I don’t know if the last one went through but just in case….I don’t know if you ‘do’ awards or not but I have something for you over at my blog!

  4. Thanks for the link, Shane. I am praying God will use that post to lift up mothers.

  5. Thanks for giving me to very big lessons. #1 Become vulnerable, sharing with others your difficulties is important. #2 Prayer really works!!!

  6. Praise God for lessons and husbands and love! And praying friends!

  7. You are a courageous lady! Your struggles and honesty inspires others along.

    Blessings!

  8. Oh Shane,

    You are wonderful! I love reading your comments. They are so true and honest, comforting and encouraging. When I think of your blog, it reminds me of sort of a tour guide to help us through the dark valleys of depression. I have not been to the valley in a long time but keep finding myself in the alleyways. I’m thanking God for the tour guide!
