Surviving Suicide Loss

According to Rita Schulte (SHOOL-tee), her high school sweetheart, Mike, was “superman.” Not only was he an accomplished dentist, but a loving husband and father who was involved in several ministries and led Bible studies. But, after developing and battling paranoia and insomnia, Mike became clinically depressed and took his own life. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Rita shares that in the weeks and months after her husband’s death, it felt like a bomb went off in her life. She was non-functional and drowning in guilt. As Rita began the healing process, she learned the key was not to focus on what happened to her, but to examine what the Lord was doing in and through her.
