Following Satan

Sunday in Church, the discussion was on the Priesthood. George raised his hand and commented on how he knew a woman who committed suicide because she didn't want her husband to lose his job as a Seminary Teacher and his ability to provide for the family. The woman next to me said "Well, I guess SHE was following Satan!"

It was my sister Janine. Janine's suicide was much more complicated than that. She had been severely depressed for two years and had even been diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder. But it is a fact that she felt trapped in her marriage and that her thinking was irrational. Was she following Satan? That comment hurt me to the bone, and I don't even believe in Satan. If anything, he was following her.
