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.
Last night I finally got some sleep. That was a miracle right there.
My head is spinning with everything that we need to do and my family has voted that we take a ‘day off’. We’re not writing the obituary. We’re not working on the funeral. We’re not doing anything about that for one day.
Thanks to the snowstorm in Denver, all of the people who were supposed to be coming in tonight are stuck - so I guess that G-d wants us to take this day of rest.
That’s hard for me, but wise.
Marie,
Look at how the love you had for your son, and the love you taught him for others, has already helped someone!
“In your terrible time, You have saved my mother much grief.
I would certainly have died before her the way I treat my body.
That stops now. I can see her pain in the words you wrote if I died before her, and I can’t let that be.”
See how profoundly the love of our Lord has already impacted someones life?
Like a pebble tossed into the water, and the ripples that emanate from that, you all already building Griffins legacy!
I hope it helps to bring peace to your heart!
God bless and hold you close, now and always!
Prayers lifted on doves wings for you!
Father in heaven, I come to you in Jesus’ name. Please take her son into your loving arms and comfort Marie, his family and friends and heal their hearts. Thank you Father. Amen.
I promise to keep that vow Marie.
I damage myself in several different ways and have started the process of removing those things from my life.
I think you’ve made a lot of us see beauty in things we didn’t before. I know you and your son did that for me.
Please find some solace in your grief.
Mark
And you don't have to find the energy to pray now. God knows your heart; He knows what you need better than you do yourself.
I join in the prayers for you and your child. May the Great Physician heal your heart.
Thinking about you and your family tonight. Praying still.
My most sincerest prayers for you Marie and your family.
Your son will always be with you each time he is needed, in your thoughts, in your mind and deep in your heart.

Thoughts and prayers.
oh my goodness, Marie. What a shock! I am so sorry for your loss. Such a young man too. Sorry for the delayed respone.
My heart goes out to you. It just doesn’t make any sense.
Lord Jesus, I pray for Marie. Jesus, please comfort her in her loss and grief. Your word says “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18) I pray, Jesus, that you would indeed be close to Marie and pour out your love and peace at this time. Also, send many friends to her side to comfort and support her in this great loss. Amen.
My thoughts and prayers are still with you, Marie. Don’t forget to take care of you.
How are you doing? Still praying for you.
Still wondering how long it’s going be before I can breathe again. The funeral is on Friday.
Jesus bring peace to Marie. Hold her and when she’s ready, comfort her. Let her grieve. Amen.
Will pray for you dear, to our Lord, God Almighty & our beloved departed youngest daughter, Lori Ann who was lost to breast cancer in 2004!!! Remember, your boy passes on to a forever world with his maker. He still lives, in your heart, your soul, your very being. I chat with my Lori, everyday, She was such a great kid, wife & mom. So.....when you get down, out and depressed over your loss....fondly & lovingly remember your son & celebrate the life you had together. He would want it that way.....for he now has life with our Lord, forever!!! He also continues to live within you!!! God bless you & God Bless your departed son!!!
Prayers for your comfort for tomorrow and beyond.
May Griffin’s name endure forever.
I didn’t know the circumstances until I read your post. I lost a friend just the other day, he was a biker and crashed in Texas. I do not know you, but I send all my heartfelt prayers to you. Everyone will be reunited, one day. It is true. And my God give you his own son to be a brother of lost one.
God I pray to You, to give your son to be a brother of the one lost. One day, everyone will be together, again, all the birds who sang in his life will be there, too. And we all still have each other to care about.
Prayers that you are able to feel our Lord's comforting presence as He is right there with you through your pain and grief.
