I really dont know much about King David, other than his mourned so when his child was born so ill....but then when the baby died, he put away his mourning, or so the Bible says....that always seemed so hard to me....

I cried all the time and mourned so, when Michael was so ill, but right when he died, and for a while after that, tho I was so sad, and grief stricken, I could not cry...no matter how hard I tried, I absolutely could not shed one tear...I had cried so much when he was alive and sick, I figured I was all cried out....

It was not until weeks later, that I could cry over him again...I think I was just in actual shock, when he died, and that shock just prevented me from crying, allowing me to make funeral arrangements, and get through all that I had to....

But I often have wondered, how King David coped with the loss of his baby, in later times....the Bible never says...

hi andysmom
I don't know anything about King David
my experience of the Bible is limited
I read the beginning part
and then only the parts which brought me peace when I was upset in later times
as a kid in Sunday school I liked the story bout Queen Esther
cause she was so beautiful
and won the beauty contest
I found the movie ''10 Commandments'' very interesting when I saw it on tv when we moved to tucson

my cousin is going thru that devastating loss now
his young son (a teenager) became very ill
and just went to Heaven
I hope my cousin turns to God and gets comforting
my cousin is a surgeon, I do not know his spiritual beliefs
