no one said this job would be easy.....

and it certainly isn't. Got a phone call on Sunday morning to say that one of the young men we had been working with (& had just finished the program) hung himself last Friday night. His funeral was on Tuesday, his 14th birthday.....

It's a week on & the questions don't lessen or get answered - was it an accident ? could we have done anything more ? how do we prevent this from happening again ?

I guess this is where I have to say, at least whatever was troubling him so much, I pray he is at peace now, in the arms of Jesus. I couldn't cope with believing he is in hell.
