I have been that man with no hope.
my Wife died.
my son would not speak to me men after remarring.
Bussiness failing.
close of loosing my home,
I felt God who I loved was taking it all away.
tryed to commit suicide and my best friend who spoke at my wife funeral and best man at my wedding
would not speak with me any more.
But somehow God is helping meto come back to hope. love from my new wife has also helped.
I still have this big hole of loss in my heart trying to live with it
thank you for helping me to see a little closer.

sorry for the messpelled words
not the best writer
Mike

When a person looses hope it is very hard to get back on track again. 
We all need to be very aware of the circumstances around us and do what we can for the other person.
In a “me” world, we have forgotten to put others first.  We cannot solve other peoples pain but we can just be a friend to listen and love them.
The above stories are tragic and heartbreaking.
We have to remember that there have been many people in this world who have been extremely happy with out being financially prosperous, we cannot base who we are on money.
Try to realize how valuable you are in the eyes of God and know that he not only wants to see you through this life, but has prepared a wonderful place for all of us when this life is over.
Life is not easy, but hold on and realize we are all in this together, so lets help each other along the way.
God help us all!!
