Oh, my dear Freeper. There is no greater loss. You will be in my prayers.
May God be with you and your family in this time of great loss.
Rev. 21:4
If he was Christian and at any point had faith alone in Christ alone, then he's been promoted.
If he had not reached an age of accountability, he still has eternal life in heaven.
God is aware and determines when each and every one of our lives suffer the first death and His decisions are infinitely perfect. The alternative would have been far worse, even if not immediately known to any other man.
Rejoice in that he has been promoted.
Loved ones will experience remorse and loneliness for experiencing the separation of physical and soulish fellowship with our close loved ones upon their first death, but by returning to God through Christ, we also know there is a better place where there is no suffering, no pain, merely our presence being face to face with the Lord.
Tearful condolences
My prayers are indeed with you. God is your only real refuge through this.
I am so sorry for your loss.. I will surely pray for you and Jacob's friend and his family. May Christ hold you in His arms in your time of need.
I can't even imagine how you must be feeling, but I grieve as deeply for you as I can comprehend to and send the most heartfelt of prayers your way.
My prayers and support. Damn.
I'm so sorry to hear that. God rest his soul and comfort you in your time of loss.
May God wrap his arms around you.
That's terrible :( My deepest sympathies.
I am so, so sorry about the loss of your son. It is my deepest wish that your hearts mend quickly and well.
You and your family are in our family's thoughts and prayers.
Beloved Heavenly Father,
We ask that you will surround Lost Thread and Jacob's family in this hour of loss. Guide them and their family and friends during the grief process. Help them to feel constantly your loving Presence. You know, Father, how hard it is for us to lose our loved ones, especially our children. Father, we commend Jacob into your keeping. Comfort the mourners. Grant them wisdom and faith. Heal their broken hearts. Assure them that you will help them to hold on to their precious memories of him. Grant them a special gift of communion with Jacob's soul, if it be according to thy Will.
Let all which we call forth for this family we call forth for any and all who may be in a similar situation of need. Let all be done according to thy Will.
Amen
I'm so sorry for you and your family. May God wrap His arms around you all and give you strenght.
You asked for prayers for Jacob's injured friend.
I hope you find spritual solace, at some point, in the Godly way you are conducting yourself this horrible morning.
You and your baby Jake are going to be reunited in a better "World". LostThread, your request for prayers for Jacob's friend is beautiful beyond description.
I'm so sorry, LostThread. I'm going to pray right now.
Prayers for you and your family and your sons friend and his family.
Losing a loved one is always difficult especially with one so young.
I'm so sorry to hear of this. You, Brave Man and the Jacob's injured friend are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.
