Though it hurts and don't seem fair (and hard to "hear" this) his death could of somehow saved another? We just never know why or what God is doing or allowing; but we can know ALL of our "times" are in his hands and He always knows what is best. "The Lord gives and the Lord takes away..blessed be the name of the Lord." He says He will not put on us more than we can bear and he can not lie...So we also know we can go to him and "cast all our cares" to him. I will pray for you to be able to be open to God enough to comfort and heal you and give you the understanding that gives you the peace you need. Its all in Him (whether He touches us through another person or our alone time with Him). He loves us so much. With Love and prayers.

I will certainly pray for peace and comfort for you. May I ask you how your son passed, how old he was, what are your other family factors..... other children? You can email me if you choose not to respond on this page. I am just wondering if their is a lesson the rest of us can learn from you.
I can not imagine loosing a child of my own and I feel for you so deeply! I will send a prayer request out to my prayer chain and I hope you are able to get at least a few moments of peace and comfort. I wish I could hug you and I wish I could take it all away for you!

I don't know what you're going through, but I pray for you to find peace. I don't know if you believe in Jesus, but in my experience, he has given me strength, life and joy and I know that he can be for you what he is for me. My son's name is also Christopher. I can't imagine, but I've spent enough time fearing the unknown. I promise to pray for you L.! Whatever you do, don't stop allowing yourself to feel. You'll never heal if you don't allow yourself to greive.
Love,
K.
I just read your post with tears in my eyes. I want you to know that you are in my prayers. I can only imagine the pain you must feel and I hope that you may find peace in the midst.
Hugs to you and your family.
Your in my prayers! Hang in there!
My brother was murdered the night he came home from beach week after graduation. Although he was not my son, I have spent the last three years watching my parents' grieve and dealing with my own. The first year was spent dealng with the trial, the second year was spent finally starting the greiving process. You are now in your second year and the hardest year. If you haven't already found a grief counselor, they specialize in loss, and join a support group we still attend ours and find it helpful. There will always be good days and bad days. Life may never seem right or perfect again because he is always missing, but know he is always with you. Also, wear his clothes when you need him to feel closer, try an activity or sport he participated in. Buy balloons write messages on them and let them in the air to him (even if it isn't environmentally friendly, it feels relly nice). Just a few things we found that helped. Best wishes and prayers to you and yours.
Heavenly father,
I humbly come before you right now to lift up L. and her family to you. I can not relate to her situation, but you are a good and loving God and you care about her. I pray that the peace that passeth all understanding will fall on her and her famiy, I pray that you will comfort her in her times when she feels like she can't take the pain any longer. Comfort her in her time of sorrow and help her to know that she WILL survive this.
L.,
I don't know your faith, but talk to the Lord. You don't have to be kneeling or in a church. Wherever you are cry out to Him and trust that He hears you and will help get you through this time.
Take care.

My heart aches for you. My parents passed December 16, double suicide. So while it's not the same as loosing a son, of which trauma I can only imagine is unbearable, I do understand the shock and grief you are feeling. It takes time and is so painful to let the anger pass. Only now, three months later can I see a little more clearly. And I know I have a long road ahead.
Just know it's not your fault and everything you are feeling is justified, however wild the emotions get. Any God as you understand him, also understands that you are angry and might even be angry at him for taking your son. We don't always know the divine plan, and will never have answers to "Why". The challenge now is to allow ourselves to feel the emotions and pain, shed those tears of agony and sadness, and start on a new life. It will not be an easy one, it will in fact be a life with your son on your mind and heart everyday. But it will be one in which you learn to adjust to life with him on the inside, instead of beside you.
I can tell you, I shed tear for your pain even though I don't know you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. If you need any help with resources or anything, please contact me. I am a birth doula, but I may be able to connect you to someone who can help somehow. I am at your service if you need help.

You are in my prayers. My two children (7 and 10) died 3 yrs ago due to smoke inhalation from a fire in my home. My husband and I were devestated. Not only did we lose our kids, but, our home and everything in it. I thought I was going crazy too. Please stay in prayer, God won't put nothing on you he know you can not handle. Be strong and remember, your son will always be with you in sprirt.
I am praying for you
I'm so sorry. I don't know what else to say because I've never experienced anything remotely similar but know that I'll say a prayer for you, your family and Christopher.

Lord, please be with L. and her family as they try to deal with and make sense of Christopher's passing. Guide them with the love and strength that only you can give.
Lift their hearts up to you and fill them with your peace. Give them the knowledge and faith to endure even that which they can't understand. Let them be aware of you always God.
Amen.
J.
My heart goes out to you. I also have a son who has a bad drug problem. I will pray for you that your burden eases. Love, C.
Iam so sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine what you feel like. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. I always refer to the Serenity prayer and Psalm 91:11 when I need a lift. I hope God helps you in healing process.
