My Dear Beloved OH Friends I Have some very sad news

Tammi, you and you family are in my prayers! I'm so sorry for you huge loss. Please be strong for your two beautiful kids..My thoughts are with all of you

So sorry for your loss.. you and your family will be in my prayers!

He may not be here on earth any longer...but he will always be very much alive, in you hearts and your minds.  I do believe that when a loved one passes, they do become an angle and help guide us through our lives. Though he may no longer be here, take comfort that he is with this king..he is no longer sad and depressed...he has found peace.

I will keep you and your family  in my prayers....
God Bless

So sorry to hear about your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.  I'm going to share this with you, Last year my sister passed away. this poem gives me comfort.
   I'm There Inside Your Heart
Right now I'm in a different Place,
And though we seem apart,
I'm closer than I ever was...
I'm there inside your heart.
I'm with you when you greet each day.
And while the sun shines bright
I;m there to share the sunsets too..
I;m with you every night.
I,m with you when the times are good,
To share a laugh or two
And if a tear-should start to fall
I'll still be there for you.
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart.
I'll smile and hold close to me
Forever in my heart.
Your  sorrow it great now, ,but know that he is with the Lord,

So sorry for your loss! I have not gone thru this, but want you to know that you are in my prayers! Keep reaching out to others for help and you will find it. Blessing for you and your family, dear. Hugs! Annette

Tami,

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my 12 year old son 6 years ago in a shooting accident. He would be 18 right now....would have graduated from high school this past May. Not one single day goes by that I don't think about Travis and miss him with every single thing that is in me. But it does get easier. I promise you this.

As far as does he hear me? And does he know what's going on down here? I believe he does. Strange things still seem to happen when I'm having a particularly hard day. It's either him or God letting me know everything will be ok. I'm good with either of those options. By strange I mean a sweet smell will suddenly be there where there should be none. Or a song that makes me think of him will come on right when I need it. Or someone I haven't seen in years will just happen to cross my path and share a new story about Travis with me. Travis loved the rapper Eminim (spelling? I don't know those groups much). Someone told me once that they were sitting around thinking about Travis when an Eminim song came on the radio....on a country station! I live in Texas....they just don't play rap on the country stations here. LOL.

Hang in there Tami....it will get easier. Kiss your babies for me and feel free to PM me if you need to talk.

I am so sorry for your loss.   My prayers are with you and your family.   Nothing happens to us that God can't use.   I pray that you will find God's grace and comfort in this terrible time.

My heart goes out to you in this horrible time.

As a Christian, I don't believe it is for us to know for sure that our loved ones are seeing and watching us, but God has assured us in many passages in the Bible that HE is there watching over us.   From Isaiah 43:4:  You are precious to Me and honored, and I love you.

But that said, when my grandson's paternal great grandmother passed away two years ago, he was barely 3 years old. One night when I was listening to him say prayers with his mom, just a couple of weeks after GG's funeral, he said, "Goodnight GG Bev, You can leave my room now. I'll sleep tight."  I was startled to say the least and asked him why he said that. "Because GG Bev was over there in the corner telling me to sleep tight," he replied.  I questioned him gently a little more, and he stuck to his story and added that GG Bev had been there before and always said the same thing to him.  Now, I don't know with assurance that he really saw her or had imagined this, but it gave his family a great deal of comfort. Perhaps it was Bev in some form, or just God's way of assuring us of His love and caring for us.

I lost my first husband and son in a terrible car accident 37 years ago. It was devastating and crawling out of the deep hole I felt I was in took an immeasureably long time.  Of course, people would say, "You have to move on now." But they weren't dragging that thousand pound weight of loss behind them at the time. I'll never stopping thinking about them or missing them, even though I later married the real man of my dreams and had more children. But over time, the great sorrow turned to thankfulness that they had spent that short amount of time in my life.  They were part of my circle of life then, and they still are. The break in my circle did mend and now it holds their memories securely within the circle, not outside of it.  Today, August 12, would have been my son's 38th birthday.

All my love and caring go out to you and your family today. Allow yourselves to grieve and don't let others tell you when you've grieved enough.  You'll know when it's time to turn to the next chapter, but this one might be very long and many tears may stain the pages.

Ann,

My thoughts are with you today as well as with Tami. I lost my son 6 years ago and I know that we never stop missing them. Happy Birthday to your son.
