A Light at the End of the Tunnel

Continued

Today, my son has undergone many reconstructive facial surgeries, and has accepted the fact that he will never look the same as he did before. When he first awoke in the hospital, his depression was nearly gone, though he did have some work still left to do. But thankfully, the emotions that brought him to the point of suicide were a vague memory. And he was finally able to seen through the fog of depression and respond to the family and friends that had supported him throughout, and who had been waiting patiently for him. Since leaving the hospital, even with all the pain and emotions that he has endured resulting from his injury and the reality of his injury, he was never placed on any antidepressant or anxiety medications. And ever since, he has seemed to draw in good experiences and good people. We attrribute this to his spiritual experience.

He now has re-married a wonderful woman who we believe also was a gift from God, who has stood by his side throughout all of his ordeal. He has found a happy and fulfilling life that gets better for him every day. We have found that there can be a happy ending to even the most tragic stories.
