Prayers for my sister and her 2 kids.

[ExpectingEbani]

Hey Everyone. I am leaving tonight, at 5 pm, to go to Chicago. My sister checked herself into a mental hospital yesterday. She has been having serious thoughts of suicide. She has 2 wonderful bright kids, Ages 3&4. They need their mom. She has had a really tough past 5 years. Shes lost 4 babies, is going through a HORRIBLE divorce, hasnt got her GED, the list goes on. She lives with my dad right now and he makes EVERYTHING worse. She cant move out she only makes 400 every 2 weeks, plus she just got in a car accident 2 weeks ago and broke her arm, so shes been out of work. I am going to help her get through this time, I just am not sure how. I am scared, I hate flying, I dont want to loose my sister, someone has got to take care of her kids and that has to be me, I dont want my daughter to miss out on her father who is staying in AZ at least for a while. We will probably lose our car, it cost 360 for me to go out there next day... I had to quit my job, but I am ok with that. I just want my sister and her kids to be okay. Please pray for them, if you have any advice on how I can help her and how I can cope with being away from SO that would be appriciated. please vote popular so she can as many prayers as possible... thank you

Honey i know you love her but please do not give up what you and your own child need for her life. I was in the same position w/my bro and his kids and I finally had to let go and let God. Was it easy? hell no but I had to because I was losing my own life,my own money,my own SELF. After this trip be a suppoirt  from a distance, you cannot save her no matter what you do. she needs professional help and that is what you can do to help her. Find resources for her-WIC,help w/the kids,doc's-don't pay for it all just help her find them.When you are suicidal u sometimes freeze up and need help getting going again but to have someone take over like you are a child is hard too. I am sure ahe already feels bad about herself,so give her a hand up.I know you love her, maybe help her learn to love herself...?
