Sorry to hear about your friend. I think as we all age, we are more aware everyday of how precious life is. At the same time, I am always amazed to read the accounts of the first disciples and how fearless they were because they knew this was not their final destination. I think the main thing is to live with purpose, seeking the Father’s direction on what that is and how to go about it on a daily basis. In regards to teen suicide rates, Dean Sikes, one of the trustees at our church, travels to schools sharing with teens that they matter and that God has a purpose for their lives. He shares his personal story and encourages teens and young adults. https://deansikes.net/youmatter
I don't plan to read that book, even tho' I so respect that they put their story out there. I get so traumatized by that sort of content. As i age I do think more about the death that will come. I don't swell on it, bc I am confident in the goodness on the other side! But I will be sad to leave this good life!
