Okay, so, I've known my best friend for 2 years and he's always been the guy who would go great lengths to make sure that someone is okay. He helped me when I was depressed and having really awful thoughts about my life and myself, and I've always sworn that I would stand by his side through whatever came his way. Well, last september, his mom was diagnosed with colon cancer and it spread to her liver and killed her within a month.
Since then, he hasn't been the same and I always thought it was just PTSD or depression just from his mom's death. Well, last night, I found out that he's started having suicidal thoughts and really wants to kill himself. He also has been cutting himself all over his body since the beginning of December. He really wants out, guys.
I don't know what to do or say to him to make him feel better and more alive. I've told my entire family to pray for him and to keep him in their thoughts, but there has to be more, right?
So, I'm asking, from the bottom of my heart, that if anyone has any advice or knows of anything that might help, could you please share that with me. And, for those who pray, could you please just keep him in your prayers (you can PM me if you'd like a specific name)? I'd really appreciate it.
