They Asked For Help and You Said "You need to pray!" Wrong!
Don't let this be your story or your legacy. Within the last week, a local TV meteorologist died by suicide after experiencing problems while recovering from lasik eye surgery . This meteorologist was relatively young, and left behind a husband and two very young children. This story saddened me and touched me deeply. Several years ago, I considered having this surgery and decided to continue on using contact lenses and glasses. The doctors I spoke with said this was a routine procedure, with excellent results and very few risks. Perhaps I was a bit of a coward, but being nearsighted, I didn't want to take any further risks with my eyes. Risks involving lasers and manipulation of my cornea seemed too scary. As I read comments on social media about this death, I was stunned by how many people wrote extremely angry and judgmental comments about the woman who died. Many of these comments had a religious tone, threatening her soul with Hell, hellfire, and eternal damnation.
