Prayers please

[ssarber]

I know that I don't really know anyone personally on here, but I am asking for prayers for me and my family. On Memorial Day, my only son and light of my life was killed in a car accident. We are reeling in grief. He was 26 and I can't imagine living my life without him. We are a very religious family, but are questioning and hurting right now. Please pray for us. I pray that no one here has been in our shoes, but if you have and have any help on how to navigate these dark waters, please let me know. Thank you.

Ssarber, I am so very very sorry to hear of the loss of your son.  There are no words that I can even begin to say to take away or lessen your grief.  I never lost my kids, but I have a friend who lost her son 8 years ago.  She has learned to laugh again, but the hurt is still with her.  This month was the month he was killed in Afghanistan and May is alway a tough month.  Time will heal your heart, and I know it’s easy to say, but please try to keep your faith, God had a reason.  Again please accept my deepest sympathy.

Sarber,first off we are very sorry for your loss.

You say you are religeous so i assume u support bible.The bible says death is an enemy of mankind,so it is natural to be sad and have grief,especially for your child.The bible says that time and unforseen occurrence befalls us all.Wrong place wrong time.I dont know factors in accident that caused it either.I know one thing,God didnt cause it.He instructs us in bible to live life for our good,but sometimes factors happen in wrong time in wrong place.Our lives are not pre-destined or fate involved here.

The hope the bible holds out is Gods kingdom thru Jesus will put an end to this Satanic/manmade death dealing system and there will a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous once Jesus is ruling from heaven so many can learn the wonderful hope God has for mankind and ever-lasting life.

JW.org is a great site to answer many of lifes questions.Again so very sorry for your loss and if you take note of what Jehovah God says in the bible you might find the strength to help you with this.The bible says HE can give us power beyond what is normal.I hope you find that out in your difficult time.

Thanx

BTW i wanna put up what bible says RE death in Eccl 9:5....New International Version
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward.

That backs up what God told Adam what death will be.Back to dust.Remember Adam willfully disobeyed God and was warned of penalty of not obeying in death.Hence A&E brought death to mankind and only thru Jesus ransom sacrifice man can get back to an approved status with God and NOT die.

Be assured your son isnt suffering.He is asleep.

That is utterly heartbreaking! No parent should have to go through the loss of a child! Honestly, I don't know what to say right now. Your family will have to just take things day by day and be each others' support. There is so much going on in this country right now, but I hope you can all be together. Some of us have been isolated from loved ones for so that simple embraces help tremendously!

I also hope you had a chance to see him recently to give you a moment to hold onto. If not, I'm sure you have many beautiful memories. I just sent a prayer up for you and your family asking God to help you navigate through this. Peace and love be with you!

OMG! I'm so sorry for your loss! How, did this happen? Was anyone drunk & cause accident? I've lost my hubby I think it's about 10 yrs now & the pain never goes away. The pain only becomes less painful each year. I try to remember the good memories as much as I can. I'll pray to the higher powers to help you & your family to get through the darkness of this time more easily with gentle grace.

[ssarber]

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Our faith is and always has been strong. We have no doubt where he is. I don't blame God. It is hard not to ask why, but I trust fully in his will and plan. Other than that, I stay away from biblical topics as our beliefs tend to be different than most. Our grief is in losing his personality and smile and laughter.  Thankfully the funeral home put no restrictions on a visitation or graveside services so we were all about to be together. He had many friends that traveled from IN where he was living and other friends and family. It was a blessing to mourn without having to adhere to "rules". I pray all of us stay healthy.

I am sorry for your loss also. I pray you always have a good memory to help you cope. I know with time we will be OK. I promised him when I said goodbye that I would find my smile at least once every day. Just for him. In the midst of sorrow, I will find joy again. No one was drunk. He tried to pass someone and appeared to be going too fast. Somehow he went off the side of the road and rolled the car. He was gone immediately. I am thankful he didn't suffer. And that now he is sitting at the feet of Christ with many of our friends and family.

I'm very sorry for your loss.
I know how it feels to lose someone you care about.
Me and my family have lost alot of family members and pets through the year's.
I will pray for your family.

I'm sorry for your loss, but I can understand how you feel.  My grandson who was only 4 1/2 years old passed away on Easter Sunday.  I still will break down and cry because I miss him so much.  He was almost like my baby because I have kept him for my daughter to work every since she went back to work after having him.  I was with him 7 days a week/24 hours a day.  I have lived in my daughter's house since he was born and he sleep in the room with me until just recently when he got his own room.  The only advice I can give you is I pray every day and I know in my heart he is in a better place, but I want him here with me.  I has started reading the Bible every day and I have a couple of books that are daily devotion books that I read every day.

I remember offering condolences to you, but, once again, I am sorry for your loss! And ssarber, as well! I just hope the feelings of sadness and sorrow dwindle with each passing day and that the love you had for one another grows only stronger.

I am so very sorry for your loss and can't imagine because I still have my one and only son.  All I can say is keep your hands in God hand and he is walking with you and my prayers are with you and your family.  God Bless!

[braggin]

I am very sorry for your loss. I can't think of anything worse in life than losing a child, particularly an adult child you have cared for for so many years, so I have no advice for you other than to hang in there, because time will lessen your grief for sure, although probably never really get rid of it all.

[mrsmere]

Sorry for your loss and will be praying for you because it's hard to loss a loved one.

[debidoo]

Oh I will certainly pray for you - no doubt.  It is awful to lose some one like that and I am so sorry this has happened to your family.  Prayers for peace and comfort for you and yours.
