Request for family

[bigred]

Rather embarrassed to say I have never noticed this forum before. Our son died on November 30, 2001 and we had to struggle through Christmas without him. Please pray that we somehow have the strength to get through this. His siblings are having such a difficult time and could use any and all prayers you offer.

I'm truly sorry to hear of the passing of your son. I pray that you all are able to find comfort and peace at this time.

Lord, please hold bigred and their family in your hands. Please guide them toward a peace and understanding that only You can provide. Lord please let this family know that their son and brother is okay. Please hold them and comfort them in their time of sorrow. Lord Almighty, thank you for all you do. Thank you for all the blessings you've brought to all of us.

In Jesus' name - Amen.

Hi Bigred...

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My family too had to struggle through our first Christmas without my father...I never realized just how much a person makes such a difference.

The following are some links that I refer to quite often, still. They have ALOT of very useful information for yourself and the kids. Hope they help you in some way too.

Bigred, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I know what it is like to bury a child and there is no other pain like it. I will keep you in my prayers and ask God to hold your hand through the difficult days ahead. May you and your family look for the light at the end of this very dark tunnel.....it is there. Email me at anytime if you need someone to talk to. Joy

Bigred, I am so sorry for your loss. My sister passed away in '95 at the age of 31, so I know what it is like to lose a sibling. My mother had a very difficult time losing a daughter so young. It is just so awful to bury your own child. I pray for healing for you.

Just be kind to yourself and allow yourself to grieve. And that means, as long as you want to. A lot of people wanted me to just snap out of my grief and get on with life, but I was suffering so. But I'm doing a lot better now. It just takes time. So allow yourself that time, don't rush. Talk often about your son, because he is still around you.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Bigred. As a mother who has lost a baby, I can empathize with your pain & loss and can tell you that the pain does eventually become more managable.

Talk about your son with your other children as often as you possibly can. As long as you all carry the memory of him, then your son will always be with you. The tears will come and go, but remember that the grieving process can take some time - even after everyone looks & sounds fine.

{{hugs for you & your family}}
