Patrick continues his heartfelt conversation with Erin who has suicidal thoughts. She feels a loneliness and meaninglessness in life. Patrick asks her to focus on knowing that God loves her and created her. (00:30) Ted - God says my strength will be perfected in your weakness. (16:54) Lynn - I was extremely depressed and was having suicidal thoughts. It’s important to see a priest/counselor and be brave enough to say, “I don't think I could go on.” (24:30) Jeff - I've experienced virtually the same thing as Erin. (27:59) Jill - I know women who are in same situation as Erin. Maybe she could help other women, by going to a pro-life center. My niece went through this, being post-abortive. (35:27) Christy - I struggle with self-esteem, but the Bible says I need to deny myself. How do I find that balance and carry the cross? (41:53) Karen - When you are in that dark place, it is like you're in a black hole. You can't see the goodness and can't see the light. It's almost like the devil is playing tricks on you. (46:09) Sue- Has Erin ever written a letter to the baby she aborted? (48:23)
