R&B singer, Ginuwine battled suicidal thoughts and depression after losing both of his parents a year apart and found help in the church.
The singers father committed suicide in 1999 by shooting himself in the head and his mother lost her battle with cancer the following year. He fell into a depression and turned to drugs and alcohol to cope with his feelings, and even attempted suicide.
That’s when he turned to the church…..
“The first thing you have to do is always find somebody you can talk to, he shared with The Grio. I found my church home that way by talking to ministers and friends. I never really went to church and that was a different place for me and I felt the love there. Whenever I felt that way, they were around to talk to me,” he explained.
“A lot of times, men like to keep stuff in and that’s the worst thing that you can do. I always tell younger guys that the best thing to do is to talk about it and I try to be open for people to talk to because once you’re gone, you’re gone. There’s no coming back from that.”
