How Do You Help A Grown Daughter Who Is Going Thru Darkness And Trouble?
Posted by: Alan in Alcohol Counseling, tags: Darkness, Daughter, Going, Grown, Help, Thru, Trouble
How can you help her when she won’t seek help? Yet she suffers emotionally. I don’t want to go into details, I know she is suffering. It’s not drugs or alcohol. It’s emotional pain and suffering.She has people who love her, but a lot of pain in her life. I pray for her. She is a nurse and knows she needs counseling but for some reason resists it. Will you pray for her to seek help?

Yes, I will and have.
Meanwhile, be there for her. If you can find someone who can be a close friend to her, whom she could talk to, that could help a lot.
Not only pray, though, exercise faith as you pray. Believe that help is coming. Praise and thank God ahead of time for that help.
(Also, if she is manic/depressive or just depressive, there are medications that can help too.)

You keep praying, and you make sure you’re there when she needs help.
That’s really about all you can do, until she decides to make the kind of changes in her life that wil break that cycle.

There is no sin so haneous or pain so severe that God won’t be there for his kids. Be available to her. Listen to her and live your life dedicated to Jesus so she can see you are real. The best you can offer her is proof of a relationship with Jesus when things are tough. Hurtin with her is OK for awhile, but don’t encourage her to make a pet out of it (whatever it is that has her beside herself). If she is clinically depressed, drugs are not the answer, but they are a help. Our mind is part of our flesh and sometimes needs medical assistance. Maybe if you offer to go with her to a counselor or to a pastor. Have you thought of having a woman fom the church or an elder or the pastor or he and his wife come talk too her? There is nothing you can do but pray and leave it in the hands of the Lord. She is grown and the time for you to make decisions for her is gone. If she is born again, God takes care of his own. I’m a Father and a Grandpa (just barely) and I know how it is for a Dad to see his little girl go through such devastating things and feel helpless. You have to trust God with your kids. Sometimes it’s hard. There are no words I have to help your pain, but comfort will come from the Lord when you run to Him. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path.” Hope it’s a help and not a platitude.

I certainly will pray. And give her a little time. She won’t get better until she realizes that she needs help. Just love her and tell her about the lord and how Jesus died for her. I went through a bad spell, I won’t go into details either but I finally sought help. I have been a christian for almost 20 years now and I couldn’t feel God around me. I think everyone goes through that. But I prayed and yes God helps. People say that taking anti depressants or medicine is bad. God put the idea into a doctor’s head. God knew that this world would just get worse and worse. I take many meds and now I am happy and I love life and God so much. I can’t wait to hug Jesus. I hope this helps

if you and the rest of her friends and family are giving her all the love and care you have and she still resists treatment, that is all you can do. i will hope that she gets better.

Never give up!! Someday when she is ready she will get help. Have faith. Also in the book of James 5:14-15 it says,
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
If you would like you can ask a missionary from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to anoint your daughter and give her a blessing. Whether or not you respect the LDS church I can testify that the promise in James is fulfilled and miracles happen.

If this is about her religious beliefs (or lack thereof), leave her alone. It’s not anyone else’s business. Not sharing yours, whatever they are, doesn’t equate to ‘darkness and trouble’.

what’s the good of having emotions counselled. a emotion is something the intellect cannot put words to when a feeling comes around. what does she feel. is what she is feeling her.working in a hospital with all that suffering and saddness it is going to have an effect sooner or later. she knows it is not her but does not know where it comes from. why not mention a change in her enviroment. she is too sensitive for hospital duties.

You just let her know that you love her and that you will be there for her, without judgment.
I hope all works out for her, and you too Dad.
