Murder-Suicide is on the Rise

Amanda Kidd
Murder-suicides have become a pandemic, horrific substitution opposed to restoring and preserving life as a resolution. These murder-suicides devastate family, comrades, and communities, piercing many hearts with this senseless act of inhuman insanity. Many inhabitants speculate that the rationale of this crime stir from broken relationships, be it marital, family, or intimate companionship, financial hardships, legal matters, domestic violence, custodial disputes, drug or alcohol addiction, mental or terminal illnesses, including poverty and homelessness. A loss of life (lives) is never an alternative to momentary pressure that can be alleviated. Counseling, legal representation, financial support, and assistance to supplement your hardship is available. There are several institutions or organizations such as drug and alcohol rehabilitation, homeless shelters, domestic violence prevention, suicide prevention hotlines, including committing yourself into the psychiatric ward at a hospital if you feel wretched and deleterious to yourself and all individuals.

Life's essentials and responsibilities are overwhelming, but when you premeditate this calamity, all parties involved truly lose, especially if minor children survive. God does not want you to expire prematurely. He has predestined you and your loved ones (victims) an abundant life. The Bible assures us that hardship is in fact God disciplining us. His plans are to prosper us. Hebrews 12:1-13 We must endure and conquer hardships of many kinds to help build our faith and trust in God. He can, He will deliver us from any trial and tribulation that Satan orchestrates. Though there are numerous organizations to assist you, your heavenly Father should be the first 911 call you make if you feel pessimistic. Pray to the Almighty God and reap His glorious power as He delivers you from this catastrophe that you are contemplating. You can live, there is hope. Murder-suicide is never a resolution to any dilemma. Please seek Jesus and all available help now. He cares for you, so cast your misfortunes upon Him and He will save you. "The righteous cry out, the Lord hears them and delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:17-18

    Wow! Powerful article. Thank you for sharing your view. Many people experience forms of mental illness and never seek help for fear of being ridiculed or they are ashamed of the perceived weakness of asking for assistance when you lose control of a given situation. Hopefully your article will help someone in need.
