My youngest son, Nick, age 22, passed away just a few weeks ago. It was a violent, accidental death; some say it was suicide, and maybe I'm in denial. But, I do feel that it just a horrible, awful, preventable tragedy.

I have always felt like everything in my life was somehow a blessing, challenges and problems a learning experience. Not while I was going thru them, probably, but upon reflection, as the storms seemed to pass and the sun began to shine again, I would always tell myself and my children that everything was fixable, that we could overcome anything. I had a faith, even though I didn't read the bible or faithfully attend church, I prayed and believed this mantra. Now, I feel upset and disappointed in God, myself, and my son. And this makes me feel even more grief. I am seeking the help of many; I have a strong and faithful support group which includes many family members, friends, co-workers, a therapist, my doctor and people who walk in the faith of God. I know that there are many people praying for me and all of the people affected by the loss of my son, Nick. I am grateful, as I am having trouble doing this myself. I have my eldest son, Scotty, to love and protect, and I am trying so hard to walk with him thru his pain. Just two years ago, Scotty almost died when his kidneys failed. When he survived, I rejoiced. Last year, Scott and Nick's father donated one of his kidneys to Scotty. Another miracle. Scotty is doing fabulously; he and his sweet fiance had already began planning their wedding, which is just two months away(although, not much preparation has taken place, yet). So, see all of those blessings, and now this.

I have lost loved ones, but not like the loss I had September 29th, 2012.  My

fiance', Pastor John, passed away after heart surgery.  He was the most loving,

kind and understanding man I have ever had in my life.  I finally got to experience

a real Christian love relationship for the first time in my life.  We were to marry on

October 20th, 2012.  It is still new to me and I am grieving.  It is like I got almost

to te end of a book and the remaining pages are gone.  I will miss him so much.

It is like half of me is missing.  I have been through tough times all of my life, just

one hard hill to climb after another.  This time I am looking at this "hard hill" and wondering, am I going to make it?  I know God is there and He helps us.  I will

hope and pray that everyone who is going through a loss will find peace again.

I loss my husband who I was with since we were 14 years old. So I can relate losing someone so dear to you can be devastating and life shattering. This December will be 3 years since his passing, it still rough and your right you never "get over the death." We need to learn to live with our new reality and live differently because of it. Some times when someone so special in our life leaves it’s impossible to be the same person you were. After the death you find yourself wondering who am I without this major part of my life, how can I live without this person in my life? I've found that prayer in the morning and night and listing to worship throughout the day, reading the word has helped restore my love for life. Pray to god ask him to help you seek a new way of living with this grief in your heart. He will transform you into a new person; simply open your heart to your healer. I wish you many blessing and pray that you continue to seek god every day, it's the only way. Peace be with you.

Wally,

Thank you for sharing your story.  It is unbelievable what kind of things can happen in this fallen world, but it is amazing to see how God is helping you and your family through it.  Thank you for your inspiration to draw closer to God in times like that rather than push Him away.

Here is a link to the follow-up story that was done about our family and how God is bringing about healing from a great tragedy.  I hope you are blessed by it. http://www.9news.com/news/local/article/231238/222/Siblings-of-Burl...

1. Thank you for your encouragement.  I know God understands everything about me.  He knows my every thought before I know it myself.  So I might as well talk to him about how I am truly feeling.  Then that's where the healing begins.  To talk to my heavenly father.  I know that no matter why it happened I do know that God is working everything out for my good.  Because he say so in his word.  I am truly encourage from hearing others going through the same situations and knowing you can relate.  Deep down I knew that my faith was being tested but I was stuck on why me at the time and not this one or that one over there.  But, that doesn't do any good.  I know that we live in a fallen world and God is in control.

Amy,

I'm so sorry for your loss.  And for us who believe in life at conception it is indeed a loss no less than another loved one dying.  My wife and I have 6 children but she has had 3 miss-carriages.  One was a bad pregnancy and the other two were due to problems in her body.  She eventually had a hysterectomy.  You should probably be checked to see if there are problems in your body.

 

You will grieve over the loss and that is perfectly normal.  I also believe God understands when we ask "why".  He may not always answer us but He does understand that in our frailty we want to know why.  

 

Do not waste time trying to figure out whether it was the enemy or God himself.  In the end it is still a test from God.  A test of your faith, of your love for Him....  During the test He intends for you to grow stronger in your faith and be drawn closer to Him.

The pain will heal and lessen over time like any loss would.  Keep your eyes on the Lord and grow in Him.  Learn of His love and comfort.  God bless!

Hi, I have recently lost a baby due to miscarriage.  This will be my 4th miscarriage in my life.  I do have two beautiful children that I am very thankful to have.  But, I am very heart broken about this loss  I have not lost m faith because I love god and I know he loves me.  But, it would help to talk to others who have had this happen too.  I do wonder okay why does this happen.  I would have rather not be pregnant if this would happen. 
We were so happy to be pregnant again but scared.  Why do you think this happens besides their being something wrong with the baby.  Could it be the enemy or god?  I probably don't need to know why but my mind wonders to this.
