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.
I will remember you and your family in my prayers.
Oh, Marie.
Most sincere prayers sent your way.
You have FReepmail.

No words.
Just tears....and heartfelt prayers.
I am so sorry for you. This is truly horrible and overwhelming.
There’s something about tears of sorrow and grief that cause insight and understanding, such that they provide a key to making sense of the senseless. Well, enough to move a little more forward each day with just the right measure of confidence and trust.
Just knowing that tears are a gateway to a knowledge of things [that otherwise make zero sense], makes the flood of them somehow okay. Strange how that works but it does, and I only learned that recently. I used to fear them and thus avoided them at all cost. Not any more, once I finally caught on to their unique purpose.
May God comfort you and all who are mourning the terrible loss of your son.
The sadness you feel that has no end is your prayer.
Remember “Jesus wept” before raising his friend from the dead. Jesus never did anything without a purpose, a meaning. Thus, there is actually meaning in grief itself.
I will pray for you and your family too.
Prayers sent Marie.
I’m sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss Marie. May God bless you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Lord provide comfort in this time of need. Amen.
Absolutely! May God comfort you in your grief and welcome your son into paradise! God bless you and yours!
I’m so sorry, Marie. I will be praying for you. You are on my list.
I am so sorry about the loss of your son. May God walk with you.
Oh Marie! I am so sorry. Prayers to you.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers up for you and yours.
Sending my prayers to heaven, and my tears to help wash away the pain of your loss.
John 11:25. I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
Sometimes we find ourselves lost in the wilderness. We are at a place were we have never been before. A hard rain will fall and you can seek shelter under a overhanging rock. Jesus is that rock. So sorry for your loss. I pray you find peace.
While I understand your lose, I also understand it was your son’s choice. At 22 your son is a man, responsible for his actions.
And I hate to say this, but we young males do stupid things, especially with a motorcycle.
At 25 I wiped out with 350 Honda taking a curve. It was my fault as I was going too fast. Too bad the scrub brush getting the gravel out of my arm did not get my full attention.
At 37 I passed a car in a no passing area and lucked out staying on the road by about a foot. I should have been road kill.
At 39 I took a corner too fast, hit the ditch and the windshield split my lip.
All were my fault, I should have been smarter and more careful. Unfortunately that is not a male trait.
God bless you in your grief, but it is no way you fault. Us young males are just stupid, I know, I have been there and done that.
Your post had my heart breaking for and with you. You and your family are in my prayers. God bless
A pray for your son:
Incline, O Lord, Thine ear to our prayers, in which we humbly beseech Thy mercy, that Thou wouldst place the soul of Thy servant, which Thou hast caused to depart from this world, into the region of peace and light; and unite in the fellowship of Thy Saints. Through Christ our Lord,
Amen.
A pray for guidance:
Dear Lord, I am calling upon you today for
your divine guidance and help. I am in crisis
and need a supporting hand to keep me on the
right and just path. My heart is troubled but I will
strive to keep it set on you, as your infinite wisdom
will show me the right way to a just and right resolution.
Thank you for hearing my prayer and for staying by my side.
Amen!
