Prayerful bump for Michael and His family!!

[tinacart]

My heart goes out to you and your family. I don't have words to help you at this time, only the Comforter can be there for you and help you through this terrible tragedy. Please don't give up your faith. You will see your precious angel again someday, in that knowledge we have our hope and can continue on. Your other babies need you right now, so please try not to shut them out without realizing it. I'm so sorry.

I just learned of your loss. Words fail us, but the Lord does not. From my own experience, you will never, ever forget your little son and the potential of a life lost, but the Lord will bring other blessings into your life to lessen the hurt.

But for the rest of your life when someone tells you of an occurrence like yours, the loss of your little son will spring to life anew in your heart and afresh. But that is to the good. It will give you a sensitivity to the similar loss of others and allow the memory of your little one to live on in your heart for the rest of your life.

But for him, the fevers and the hurts are over and the Lord Jesus Christ will hold him and protect him from all harm. May God bless, protect and preserve your little one both now and evermore. Moreover, may He also put His loving arms around you and your wife and his siblings at this time.

May the Holy Family embrace you and, through the power of the Infant Jesus, may you find peace.

Please accept our sincerest sympathies.

God bless you and your family. You have my family's love and prayers.

God must see your heart breaking. He's given you the greatest sorrow on earth.

But He will comfort you in knowing you will see Michael's sweet face again.

I'm so sorry that there's nothing to "give you" to help. I can't even imagine.

All I can think of is: Hold your family close. I worry that such a horrendous load to bear might, if not considered, weaken your family ties: I pray that it will strengthen them. It seems to me that your son is still of your family, and to weaken that would be to weaken his place, but to strengthen it would keep him "warm" within your family's love.

I believe entirely that your son is in a gentle, entirely loving place. I also believe that the suffering of those who are left behind must seem unbearable. I am so certain that you will be with your child again.

For now, all I can imagine is that you need to hold your family closer than ever.

I wish some words would help you. I hope I've said nothing to add to your pain. For what it's worth, this stranger's heart is with your family.

A stranger's love, Bev

I don't know you, but I've been haunted by this story for days. My prayers are with you. I cannot imagine a greater horror. God Bless your little angel.

So very, very sorry to hear this. My heartfelt condolences to you, your wife and the rest of the family. I'll be sure to keep all of you in my prayers as you cope with this tragic loss.

Hi,how are you doing?Have they determined what happened to Michael?What an awful thing,my heart hurts for you.I think of you often and I think of Michael too,wending his way through all the angels and saints holding on to history_matters hand.How about your wife and children,I am sure its so dificult for all of you.

I want you to know that I have two little angels in heaven also.David was only 10 days old when he died and Benjamin was late and died while being born. I know it's not the same because I did not have the time that you did to know them and love them.Nonetheless,I wanted you to know how often when I worry about my sons down here,I ask them to stop in and gently nudge their brothers and nieces and nephews and keep them out of trouble if they need help.It is very comforting as time goes by.

Well,I am going to say my prayers and will be asking God to stay close to you and your family.If you have a chance,I know many of us would like to hear how you are doing and if there is anything we can do.

Love,sara
