Can we say a little prayer?

My husband is a deputy sheriff. We just found out that one of his fellow deputies, killed himself. (I am pasting the article below) Please can we just pause and say a prayer for him? Thank you.

we all need to say a prayer that will help the whole families on both sides of the child left behind.be thankful for the ones we do have with us and tell them we love them so that when something like this happens that we don't feel like something was left unsaid.my condolences for all concerned.

That is so sad and I am so sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to the department. I especially feel saddened for their two year old who is left now with no mom and dad............I'm so sorry, but I think it was a selfish act for that young man to kill himself and abandon his baby that way no matter what. God forbid anything should ever happen to my husband, but I still have children that need a parent.

How sad! I will say a prayer. I wish you hadn't mentioned they had a two year old. It hurts my heart when a parent kills themselves and leaves a child behind. I wish he had loved the child enough to go on. I'm not judging, you never know what your reaction to a tragedy will be until it happens. I will say a prayer for him as well as his child.
