Kerry Pharr was at the lowest point of his life. He had just lost his childhood sweetheart and wife of more than thirty years to Breast Cancer. He was going through incredible axiety and grief.
He was alone driving across a 100 foot bridge in St. Petersburg Florida when he heard a voice from the dark side say – “Stop the car and jump to your death.” As he was contemplating suicide he heard another voice that saved his life.
Listen as Kerry explains what helped him continue with his life after contemplating suicide.
Stan Harris is a mountain of a man. At six feet two inches tall and 250 pounds of muscle he is a man’s man. Stan is a powerful man, he can bend steel bars with his bare hands, he can smash through a pile of concrete blocks with a mighty thrust. He’s a modern day Samson, a real tower of strength.
No one would ever dream that the mighty Stan Harris had ever thought about suicide. But suicide doesn’t care how big, bad or strong you are. When pain, sorrow and depression strike even the strong are brought to their knees and have thoghts of ending it all.
Don’t be discouraged if you’ve had these thoughts life becomes unbearable to most people at one time or another.
Listen and be encouraged as Stan Harris and Kerry Pharr discuss this sad time in his life and how he found victory over suicidal thoughts.
Are you contemplating suicide? So did I, but I was able to overcome those thoughts and carry on with my life.
Please realize that you can screw up a suicide and if you do, it’s not a pretty thing. A friend of mine put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. Unfortunately he didn’t die. But he became a blind, disfigured, handicapped young man who suffered for years before falling down a flight of steps that ended his life.
We invite you to take a few minutes and listen to this discussion between Kerry Pharr and Danette Baird on how to overcome suicidal thoughts.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Don’t quit.
