I'm LDS as well, and I really love your blog because I feel like we share so many views on things.. I'm planning on emailing you today to comment about your later post ("Peace, Be Still"), so get excited about that!

Thank you for your testimony. The way you have articulately expressed your view of the Atonement has lifted me today, and I appreciate it. I hope you continue to feel comfort at this time.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711233072459741941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-70892779384969025402009-04-14T01:41:00.000-04:002009-04-14T01:41:00.000-04:00That's so heartbreaking.

I've visited the depths of despair enough to understand a bit why your friend must have done what he did--it's easy to give up hope when you feel totally, completely alone and unworthy of the Savior's company. I really, really needed to hear Jeffrey R. Holland's talk at conference. I'm convinced that he actually writes his talks because he knows that Megan Taylor is listening. In lighter moments I believe with certainty that the Savior is there with me--I'm working to feel that way in the darker moments, too. I often think about that scripture in Revelations that talks about Jesus wiping away all the tears from all the faces. I'm sure Bruce's tears have been wiped away now. What a heavy burden to bear. Thank goodness I know the gospel is true.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200518427119344743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-57632510069865852072009-04-14T01:27:00.000-04:002009-04-14T01:27:00.000-04:00I only met him a few times, but I remember seeing ...I only met him a few times, but I remember seeing him in my building last week, and I remember thinking, he fought cancer, and he's doing a damn good job. When the 'big guy' told us the news this morning I was just shocked and so saddened. I thought of my Grandmother's battle with cancer. I thought the same thing you did. I hope he didn't feel alone. I understand his reasoning, but don't know why he chose that way in particular. I hope so much that his soul is at peace, and I take comfort in knowing his pain is gone forever. I truly hope he can rest in peace, and that his family can continue in peace. BTW, a memorial is being held for him at the Event Center some time in the next few weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-77464964738915303392009-04-13T21:36:00.000-04:002009-04-13T21:36:00.000-04:00I too knew someone who took their life and I am st...I too knew someone who took their life and I am still confused about it and deeply saddened. We are blessed to have the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. I hope that you, his other acquaintances and his family continue with comfort.
