I just found out yesterday that my father died of cancer. I lost my job two weeks ago because the company went bankrupt. My son has Musculoskeletal disease. I feel like god has foresaken me and I dont' think I can carry on with life, it's really just too much. Religion has failed me, I have no other alternative, I'm just going to end it.

SNAP OUT OF IT, and stand up and be strong. If it is not for you, then for your son. You father died. May he rest in peace. Your son is sick, then this is the time for you to be his muscles and skeleton to hold him up, and help him out. You are at your end rope! then change that and go to the other end. Be strong, and be helpful instead of a quitter. Religion nor God failed you. You must be a strong person, or you will NOT be getting so much misery all at once. God doesn't give you what you can't handle. Handle it and don't fail your son or yourself. Get up and say I will make it better with all my might. If you need help ask for it, and don't set in your corner wallowing of how religion and God failed you. BE STRONG.
Sorry if that was harsh, but I hate quitter, and I don't think you are one. Get up an change your lemon to lemonade.

This is the worst time to lose your faith. God has not foresaken you. God is a loving god, maybe you have forgotten but there is a devil. Religion has not failed you. You need speak with your pastor so that you can get some spiritual support during this time. Please continue to pray and read your bible because even though it may seem like its not helping, it will. The worst thing you can is turn your back on god.
I am sorry about your father's death.
You are entitled to unemployment as long as you were employed at the company for more than 6 months.
I am sorry that things are difficult for you right now but ending your life will not do you any good. Do you really want to burn in hell?
You will not do your son any good if you are dead, he needs you -- If you dont want to live, you could at least live for him.
You should talk to a friend, family member or even make an appointment with a counselor or your pastor because you NEED to talk to someone. You are having a lot of emotional and stressful issues in your life -- but nothing is worth ending your life over.

Hold on a minute. You've had a really tough few weeks. Everyone goes through tough times but not usually all at once like you. Why try to end your life now when it sounds like your son is really going to need you in order to get through his prognosis. If you are asking God, "WHY ME?" try asking, "Why not me?"
Sometimes our perspective is very selfish when we go through very tough times.
Remember no matter what God has not forsaken you because He has promised "Lo I am with you always, even until the end of the world."
Jesus had his heavenly father turn his back on him while he was on the cross. He asked "Father, why have you forsaken me?" God didn't answer him then and He probably won't answer you either. Just remember that Jesus does understand your emotions and what you are experiencing, he is there for you most when you can't even feel that he is there. Don't give up because of these emotions. You will get through this if you give it a little time, I promise that it won't be easy but you will come out on the other side of this a stronger person.
Try counting your blessings instead of your trials. It helps when things look their worst.

May this prove to be a ray of sunlight!
Your troubles are not from God.
1 John 5:19....Please note the whole world is in the hand of 'the wicked one'.
Satan the Devil is trying his best to keep you from showing any interest in God.
According to 2 Timothy 3:12 you must be doing something right.
Sometimes it really does seem like too much, even when we understand why these things happen.
You are like the Bible character JOB.
Many religions come up empty in crisis ...they don't have the answers.
The next time someone knocks on your door, wanting to share some information about God's kingdom ....listen.

I can't pretend that I understand what you're going through, but it must be hard. Just remember that in God's eyes no one is inferior to another. You have not been forsaken, do not be afraid to return to the loving clasp of God's arms. God hasn't forgotten you, you have forgotten Him. God gave you life so you could live it. Let Him help you. And never forget, no one is ever forsaken. If He wants to save those that have ended up in Hell, why wouldn't he want to save a lost lamb? My friend, do not give up. It may seem hopeless now, but life isn't the destination, it's the journey.
God loves you!
By the way, if you were absolutely sure you wanted to end your life, you wouldn't have written in to Yahoo Answers. Don't give up!
AFTER WRITING ALL THIS, I TOOK Sandy C-T's advice and I looked at your other questions. This question is a fake people!

Please don't do it. Call for help right now. Call a pyschologist and get in right away. Even though things might seem terrible right now, it will get better in the future. I've faught depression a few times in my life and it seemed that things wouldn't get any better. I hung in there and it did.
Antidepressants can help you get through a bad spell too.
I care about you and I don't even know you. You have a lot left to offer the world and really, God hasn't forsaken you, it just seems that way right now. It sounds like you must be spiritual if you mentioned God at all. Pray to him right now. There is hope. Get help!!
And P.S. religion and God are two separate things. Man runs religion, you know.

Hi, you've been thru tough time and i felt sorry for you but feeling sorry and attempting to end your life that way aint worth it ....
You felt that religion have failed you, then be a risk taker ... maybe your religion isnt the true religion, find the truth .... u've lost your job, it's difficult but find solutions to the problem ... have courage to take risk since you've got nothing to lose ... About your son, if u love him, then u'll stay .... stay with him and cared for him .... time will reveal everything as there are always a blessing in disguise .... and yes there really is a blessing ........ ive seen that ...

You can not do this because your son need's you. I'm sorry for all your problems, but you say religion has abandoned you. Have you asked GOD for HIS help. I got so mad at him once, I was out side yelling and screaming at him. You do need some help. Do you belong to a church? Even if you don't ANY church will help you with you troubles. You can carry on your life, with the help of God . All you've got to do it ask. email me if you just want
to talk. God Bless You and your Son.

You may get some cruel answers here - I hope you just ignore them.
I'm sorry for your pain. I don't know what it would be to have all that hit at once, plus a crisis of your faith on top of it. I don't believe in god, so I cannot reassure your faith but I can tell you that I think that you shouldn't end your life.
You are likely suffering from depression with all the things that are going on. PLEASE talk to your family doctor - he can prescribe anti-depressents which may help you to see your situation in a clearer light. I would also think that your son needs you in his life and though his situation is sad, your love of him could give you the strength to keep living and get help for your depression.
There is an alternative to feeling hopeless. Get help!

Claps... I have had a lot of severe problems that sound similar to yours. I have also struggled with depression. I know how much your pain hurts. Everything that is happening to you is just awful. But you will survive this! I know it seems impossible right now, but you will! Keep telling yourself that. Listen, I know suicide seems like an option, but it isn't. If you died, you wouldn't have any relief from your pain because you wouldn't be around to feel that relief. Reallly, my father took his life when I was 14 and I have never recuperated from that. Please, PLEASE don't make your son go through the same pain that I have had to live with. I know it seems like religion has failed you... maybe it has. Now it is time for you to trust in God alone. In your tears run to Him. He WILL answer you. Believe in Him and He will reward you. It sometimes takes time to see Him work. Just wait and believe, no mattter how hard it is, just keep on believing. I will keep you in my prayers.
