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.
PRAYING!!!!!!!
The Lord’s peace be with you.
Very sorry. Praying here.
You can’t pray because there are no words for this.
God knows what’s in our hearts.
All we can do is try to lift them up to Him
and pray for His mercy in Jesus’ Holy Name.
So sorry to hear.
May God comfort you and your family.

Praying, hard. You are an Army wife, you have a built in support network, tap into it.
Sorry for your loss Marie. Prayers for you and your family.
Praying for your son in heaven and for your heart to heal.
Prayers for you and your family.
My sympathies and prayers are yours. My heart breaks for you and yours tonight. Jesus please stand beside Marie and help her.
I am praying for you. I cannot comprehend your loss.
Praying for you!
Oh my gosh I am so sorry to hear about your son. I will pray for you and your family in your time of greif and eventual healing.
I honestly do not know what else to say but I am so sorry for your loss.
Prayers that your shock and grief run a course that fits His purpose for you and others in your family, and in the circle of friends in your and your son’s life. I can’t imagine the loss you feel, or even any words that could give the least bit of comfort. But I am thinking of you, and others in a similar situation, facing sudden, undeserved losses of staggering proportions. God’s mysterious ways are sometimes cruel. There is no human understanding of it. If you have faith, it is under a most severe test. You may have to seek the company of others, because it will be hard for even friends to cope, for fear of not knowing what to say or how to act. Sure, they will be around, a lot, for a few days or weeks maybe - but you will need support for the rest of your life.
Praying that somehow you will see the love of God in spite of your devastating loss. God’s love shown by others, your family and perhaps a small miracle or two. I have no words - being the father of a 21-year old boy myself. I can’t imagine.
I’m sorry to hear that. You have my condolences.
My heart go’s out to you and yours, i will pray for you to be able to find peace in the days moving forward.
Praying for you and the loss is unfathomable.
I’m so sorry, Marie. You are in my prayers, as well as all who care for your beloved son. May God bless you with comfort and peace.
