When Suicide Hits Close to Home

Those of you who know me know I have a heart for those who deal with various forms of brokenness. Most forms of brokenness come when Life veers from what’s perceived as normal. A year ago my path briefly crossed with Beth Saadati, and I counted the days until we could meet again.
Beth is an author, blogger, and public speaker, so her schedule is quite full. But last month my patience paid off and I was blessed with hours of time with Beth—through attending conference classes with her at Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writing Conference as well as sitting together, discussing the pain that follows when a loved one commits suicide.
Vonda Skelton, founder of Christian Communicators, interviewed Beth on the topic, When Suicide Hits Close to Home. Take a few moments and listen. Hear her heart. Your life will be changed.
Beth follows Christ through service. She embraces 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
I love Beth, and you will fall in love with her, too.
