We lost our son today (vanity - prayer request)
FreeRepublic ^ | 4/12/2016 | self

Posted on 04/12/2016 12:07:42 AM PDT by Marie

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 was thinking about you and your son this morning, and just wanted to let you know.
I'm still praying.

Marie,

It does get less hurtful.
It takes time- I know.

So you take as much time as you need, and don't let anyone hurry you.

Last night I finally got some sleep. That was a miracle right there.

My head is spinning with everything that we need to do and my family has voted that we take a ‘day off’. We’re not writing the obituary. We’re not working on the funeral. We’re not doing anything about that for one day.

Thanks to the snowstorm in Denver, all of the people who were supposed to be coming in tonight are stuck - so I guess that G-d wants us to take this day of rest.

That’s hard for me, but wise.

Marie,
Look at how the love you had for your son, and the love you taught him for others, has already helped someone!

“In your terrible time, You have saved my mother much grief.

I would certainly have died before her the way I treat my body.

That stops now. I can see her pain in the words you wrote if I died before her, and I can’t let that be.”

See how profoundly the love of our Lord has already impacted someones life?
Like a pebble tossed into the water, and the ripples that emanate from that, you all already building Griffins legacy!

I hope it helps to bring peace to your heart!
God bless and hold you close, now and always!
Prayers lifted on doves wings for you!

Father in heaven, I come to you in Jesus’ name. Please take her son into your loving arms and comfort Marie, his family and friends and heal their hearts. Thank you Father. Amen.

I promise to keep that vow Marie.

I damage myself in several different ways and have started the process of removing those things from my life.

I think you’ve made a lot of us see beauty in things we didn’t before. I know you and your son did that for me.

Please find some solace in your grief.

Mark

There is no instant healing, but please hold onto this hope: you will see him again. You will see him again.

And you don't have to find the energy to pray now. God knows your heart; He knows what you need better than you do yourself.

I join in the prayers for you and your child. May the Great Physician heal your heart.

oh my goodness, Marie. What a shock! I am so sorry for your loss. Such a young man too. Sorry for the delayed respone.

My heart goes out to you. It just doesn’t make any sense.

Lord Jesus, I pray for Marie. Jesus, please comfort her in her loss and grief. Your word says “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18) I pray, Jesus, that you would indeed be close to Marie and pour out your love and peace at this time. Also, send many friends to her side to comfort and support her in this great loss. Amen.

Will pray for you dear, to our Lord, God Almighty & our beloved departed youngest daughter, Lori Ann who was lost to breast cancer in 2004!!! Remember, your boy passes on to a forever world with his maker. He still lives, in your heart, your soul, your very being. I chat with my Lori, everyday, She was such a great kid, wife & mom. So.....when you get down, out and depressed over your loss....fondly & lovingly remember your son & celebrate the life you had together. He would want it that way.....for he now has life with our Lord, forever!!! He also continues to live within you!!! God bless you & God Bless your departed son!!!

I didn’t know the circumstances until I read your post. I lost a friend just the other day, he was a biker and crashed in Texas. I do not know you, but I send all my heartfelt prayers to you. Everyone will be reunited, one day. It is true. And my God give you his own son to be a brother of lost one.

God I pray to You, to give your son to be a brother of the one lost. One day, everyone will be together, again, all the birds who sang in his life will be there, too. And we all still have each other to care about.

I saw your post today about the tragic loss of your son.

Prayers that you are able to feel our Lord's comforting presence as He is right there with you through your pain and grief.
