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.
My condolences on the loss of your son I pray our heavenly father gives you peace and Comfort I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen
Praying for you and your family.
Praying for His Peace that passes all understanding.
May the love of God comfort you in your time of sorrow.
Heartfelt prayers being said for you and your son.
You will remain in our prayers, Marie. May God grant you peace and your son eternal rest.
Marie, I am sorry to learn of the sudden loss of your dear son. My thoughts and prayers are sent for you, your dear son and your family.
Dear Heavenly Father, please pour out Your mercy upon Marie and her husband. Hold them, walk with them, carry them, comfort them, bring peace to them. And when they are able, please let them remember that their beloved son is with You, happier, healthier, and more alive than at any time in this world. Thank-you Father. Amen.
Prayers for him and for you. My heart goes out to you. So hard to lose a child.
Dear Marie, I am so, so sorry for your loss. I wish I just the right words for you. May God comfort you and surround you with peace and strength.
I am so sorry. I do not have the words, either. But, I will be praying for you and your family.
Marie, you and your family have my prayers.
Very sorry for your shocking loss. You are numb now, that is normal. Your grief will be profound and later it will come in waves. I pray that He sends you and your family comfort and peace and people who understand your sorrow.
Deeply sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family!
Prayers up. So sad. One of the hardest things I could imagine, the loss of your child.
Please tell us your son’s name.
I am so, so sorry for your loss, and for added pain of knowing that his final moments were alone.
Your screen name is Marie, a variation of Mary. Know that the Mother of Our Lord knew a similar pain when she watched her son and our Savior on the cross.
You are not alone!
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your beloved son, Marie. Your eloquent post made me weep, as it’s obvious you loved him so very much. Of course I’ll pray for you and your family as well as for your son’s soul.
As far as advice, my experience is to just talk to God, like he’s a regular guy. Vent, scream, rage at him....get it out...but also cry and mourn. Little by little, when you begin to listen, He will reveal the reason He took your little boy home, years before you planned. Sometimes knowing why makes the pain easier to bear, although the hole in your heart will never go away entirely. However, you *will* be together again.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensès.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c'est à Toi qu'appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bènie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

You are in my prayers. I am so very sorry for your loss. God be with you in you hours of need.
I and our ministry team will be praying for you and your family. May God hold you and keep you safe in His love.
