Today, we found out that we've lost our 22 year old son.
He'd been missing for a couple of days and they found the body this evening. He wrecked his motorcycle and ended up in a ditch where nobody could see.
I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to accept this. I don't know what to do with this.
And I can't pray.
I'm not mad at G-d or anything like that. I mean that I have no words. I don't know how.
Can you please pray for me? Just add me to your prayer list for a little while?
I cannot grasp that this loving young man is gone from my life forever. I don't know how to be all right with that.
I know that I need to sleep, but that seems like such a strange thing to do. I don't know how to function. What's normal when he's not on this planet?
Dear Lord, I miss him so much already.
Praying now.
Oh dear Lord please bless, keep and heal this family from this mindboggling hurt. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I am so sorry for your loss, words cannot express the proper condolences for a loss I cannot possibly fathom.
Lord bless and give you strength.
You got them on the way. So sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself.
Marie, prayers for you and your family. Love never dies. And through your love you will still be close to him just in a different way. He will be waiting for you Marie and you will see him again. Peace to you all.
God Keep you.
Prayers
I’m so very sorry. My heart goes out to you. <3
Prayers done.
Hang in there.
May the Good LORD bless you and give you comfort and peace.
Amen.
May God grant you peace.
Prayers for your comfort. It takes lots of time to grieve. Give yourself that gift.
...
He will always be your perfect son, and your loss is something that is unfathomable for you to even comprehend.
I will not know your pain. I can only know what your last wish for him would be, if he never got to say good-bye to you.
He would mourn you. He would find it hard to comprehend a world without you, but you would want him to. You would wish him a long and happy life remembering your shared good times. You would understand when smiles once again appeared upon the face you had loved.
You would be crushed to think of him losing hope at the loss of you. You must come to realize that you must endure and thrive so that his memory will exist within you, a joyous celebration of what he meant to you for decades to come.
You may think this is easy for me to say, but it isn’t. None of us have adequate words at a moment like this. We hear you. We have grief for you. We wish to express the thoughts that would comfort you.
And perhaps that is the take away here. A joy shared creates twice as much joy. A sorrow shared divides the sorrow. We care.
You are in good company. Family, friends, associates, each will share your sorrow, and as your son would have it, your pain will fade.
Until then, lean on those who care about you.
And know that we do.

Praying for you.
Oh...no....prayers for you and your family
Prayer BUMP
This is terrible news. We are so saddened by your loss.
We will pray for him and for you. May sheltering wings surround you.
I am so sorry. Please Lord bring this family comfort from their sorrows.
Marie,
Prayers for your son. Prayers for you, your husband, your other son, your family and friends.
We are not meant to bury our children. There are no words...none are adequate.
Faith, Hope, and Love, endure. And the greatest of these is Love.
Your love for your son. Your love for your husband, family and friends.
Their love for you.
Most importantly, our Lord’s Love for each of you.
Mary buried her Son, our Lord, after a brutal and degrading death. A death that redeemed each of us.
Three days later she was reunited with her Son, because God’s love for us conquers all, even death.
You will be reunited with your son. Each of us were created for Eden, and destined for Heaven.
One way or another, most of us are trying to get to the same place as your 22 year old son. None of really want head of the line privileges. Each of us have our work to perform as followers of our Lord.
God’s creation is a wonderful and beautiful place. It’s all any of us have experienced.
Whether our time in this life is short or long, difficult or easy, the best of our life in this world is like a bad night in a second-rate hotel compared to what your son now experiences and what each of us will experience when our work in this life is finished.
May God bless and keep you, your son, your family and friends.
