Prayer for a Member - Lost her daughter Update Pg 16

[Brick243]

My prayers are still with this family.

My wifes sister lost her 17 year old son to an auto accident several years ago. He was my sons best friend as well as cousin.

My heart goes out to this family. So sad to lose a child.

Continued prayers are needed. I know we all realize this isn't going to be in the past anytime soon. Continued prayers, please.

My prayers go out to the family. This must be so hard. I can't even imagine.

Only God and Time can heal pain like this. My heart goes out to this member and her family and to all of you who have lost children or other loved ones. My prayer is that she will reach out and grab hold of the love being offered to help her heal and not withdraw like I did. Those of you that know her personally must keep a close watch on her for at least the first year. Whoever you are, we CARE about you and what you are going through. May you feel God's Presence holding you close.

With His Love,
the Old Rebel

She is communicating a little bit here and there. She is just devestated as we all can imagine. It is hard to function after a loss like that. When she is ready, I am sure she will share with this community.

She, and her family, are feeling very broken right now, I imagine. She is but an online friend to me, but a friend nonetheless.

I'm really so sorry for the loss of your daughter. Words cannot express how deep your grief is right now. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

I will be praying for her and her family.

I'm so very sorry to hear this. I lost my brother 2 1/2 years ago. It has been very devastating to my parents and I. You have my deepest sympathies. Hang in there is really the only thing to do at the moment. Just hang on.

Thanks for all the prayers and support. It's truly appreciated.
I've never ever known a pain so deep and lasting. The times I didn't think I could bear it at all are the times I felt the power of prayer lifting me up. There are times I almost forget. Almost. And then the next wave of grief just crashes in on me.

I lost a beautiful 16-year old girl, despite the counselors, the doctors and the love of her family and friends. For the past 2 months it seemed like she was doing so much better. We were so very wrong. She hid the pain from all of us so very very well.

So my poor 13-year old daughter has lost her father and big sis within 6 months of each other, both to suicide. When her daddy died, my daughter put her arms around me and asked that I please be around when she graduated from college. I assured her that the only way I would leave this life is kicking and screaming and fighting. I had her make the same promise to me last week. And then made sure she got 10 hours of counseling last week, will get another 4 this week, and as many hours as possible for as long as possible. I'm grateful that this child is willing to reach out and willing to talk. But I'm still very very scared for her.

I've started my own counseling, too. And am looking into support groups.

Life will never be the same. We all know that. I've been married to my DH for 4 years now, and never saw him cry until last week. I eat, drink, sleep and cope so I can take care of DH and DD. And they are doing the same for each other and me. Today was my first day back at work. I spent most of it crying off and on, but I did get some work done. Mom is staying with us for a while, helping us adjust, making sure my daughter isn't alone. Mom is aware of how scared I am, and is trying to ease me, us all, back into a routine.

For all of you that have lost children, or brothers and sisters, I truly feel for what you had to go through, and watch your other loved ones go through. I have never hurt so bad in my life, and I just can't see that there will be a time when I won't hurt. Not yet. So I try to live in the moment, feel what I feel, and do what I can.

Anyone who has prayed for my family, or is praying for my family, THANK YOU.
