Recently I heard news of a Christian who committed suicide in his ministry field and left behind his wife and children. I think the reason behind it was depression.
How do one deal with depression, especially if it is your spouse or family member who has it? An article from the Sydney Anglician Network gives some advice -
1) Remember you can't cure them and look after yourself.
2) Be a friend - ask them out, accept them, isten to them.
3) Encourage them to seek help.
4) Pray FOR them and WITH them if it helps, but don't make them feel guilty.
