I have prayed for him, spend time with him and tell him that you love him
My dad's in the hospital!! Please pray for him!!

I am sure,he will recover very soon & start with a new life full of +ve thoughts & love!
BTW i suggest you to visit www.reiki.org so that a distant healing energy can be sent to him by a larger group of people!

my apologies to hear such a thing. my friend's sister tried to kill herself 2 nights ago as well. suicide is a very selfish thing- especially for a father. after he recovers, my advice is to send him for therapy and make him realize how much there is to live for.
Cheers

I will pray 4 you as well, but if the worst happens, then you will have 2 accept that him upstairs meant it 2 be like that: good luck.
As far as I know "him upstairs" declared it to be "illegal" to commit or attempt suicide."
Assuming the pray thing you speak of is Christianity.

I wish all could get better,no matter how much time it'll need,keep strong and face the reality,and ,quite important ,don't jump out from the train of your days.
chess players are the most perfect defintion of friend.

i'm sorry to hear that... have trust in god ....no matter what happens.... and pray from heart as I will too
Well, I don't know your dad and don't believe in God so a prayer from me won't do much. I do hope however that your dad gets better and gets the help he needs. Many people that have major heart surgery have issues with depression in the years that follow. I had major open heart surgery myself 5 years ago so know how hard it can be to live with a heart condition.

No doubt Billium appreciates Dahan's self-assured, smug, certainty regarding the metaphysical actuality of the world, and Jaguarphd's cold and inhumane reflections on the logistics behind the circumstances.
Dahan - do you think anyone is interested in the casual addition that you, out there, don't believe in prayer? How quaint. It's positively splendid that you expressed that on the internets, even moreso in Billium's thread. How positively enlightened of you.
Jaguarphd - clever boy with so many thoughts in your mind, eh? If only those thoughts also arose "Gosh, why would I imagine myself so uncouth as to express these disturbing reflections in Mr. Billium's thread at a time like this?" or "...who the hell picks a person's upsetting thread to impress everyone with how clever they might be?"
Time and place, both of you. Have some class, respect, and all the rest of the things this context might necessitate.
Dahan, feel free to wage a war against prayer in the Open Discussion forums.
Jaguarphd, feel free to speculate on people's suicide methods... elsewhere.
Goodness gracious, people seem to forget themselves...
Billium - this is an awful occurence... I'm sure there is much more to the story. I hope your father recovers, and the darkness with which he's dealing can be resolved - that this terrible circumstance might open up lines of communication that could be curative.
Thanks for saving me the typing, Rael. Well said.
Billium, I pray for your dad's recovery and the strength to help him along in his recovery. Keep us apprised of his progress if you have the time. Peace to your family.
