I pray this person gets the help they need. There is help out there, and I promise, it does get better. “Dear GOD, I ask you give this person strength to get through this difficult time in their life right now, and grow to help others going through the same thing, I know Lord you will stand them and see this through, Amen”. 🙏🏼

Why would that be funny? and if you really feel that way you could have kept it to yourself.. nothing funny about that at all.

What's not "funny" though, is lack of compassion and the fact that people laugh at others who are suffering.... That's sick.
