It has nothing to do with this forum - but a lot of you I consider to be good friends.
Early yesterday morning my wonderful 20 year old son when his car left the road and struck a tree. He meant everything to me. And you can't know the pain of losing a child until you have lost one.
wish you all the strength you need, and indeed I'm sure that imagining what you're going through now doesn't even come close.
The only thing I know is that always, inevitably, there is light at the end of the tunnel, even when you don't know yet where that is. Hope you'll find the path hopefully soon, and my sincere condolances.
Jet:
words at a time like this seem quite pointless,I can only imagine the pain you must be feeling in losing a child,for whats worth my friend Inna and I send our most sincere condolences,and hope that the feeling of loss fades with the passage of time.
Jet my condolences about the loss of your son. Words carry little weight in this matter. Find strength in past memories and believe that some day you will see him again.
Thank you to all. He was the son that evry parent dreams of having - he had a few problems - but not an enemy in the world. He was the one who tried to fix everything, to soothe every one. There were so many things we were going to do together - so msny promises (of mine) unkept, so much potential unfilled. It all happened so fast.
I HAVE to beleive in an afterlife - I have to beleive that he is in heaven. Because to imsgine that I will never see him again, never hug him again, is unfathomable.
Jet,
I can only empathize with you for your loss. I tend to think that God called im home. I think he had served hi purpose here and will wait for you at God's side. This brings a phrase to mind from a particular song. "Only the good die young" Base on your words, I hold this phrase true concerning your son. There is no sense in beating yourself up, but It is only easy to say it. I will keep your family in my daily thoughts and prayers. All of the people in this forum are on your side. Let us know wen you need to vent. This is the least we can do for you.
You don't know me because I have only been here a few months and never really wanted to get to involved especially with the childish arguing that goes on. I do however read the forum almost daily for advise. I can only hope that your memories as wonderful as they are can pull you through this horrible trajedy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God bless and keep your son.
I deeply feel sorry for you and your family. Please accept me deepest condolences.
Words are not enough in a time like this, but I hope you will find strength in this poem I would like you to have.
* GOD’S LENT CHILD*
"I’ll lend you for a little while, a child of mine,
"God said, "For you to love, the while he lives,
and mourn for when he ‘s dead". It may be six
or seven years or forty- two or three; But will you, till
I call him back, take care of him for me ?
He’ll bring his charm to gladden you and
(should his stay be brief) you'll have his
lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from
Earth must return. But there are
lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in my search
for teachers so true, and from the things that
crowd life's lane, I have chosen you.
Now, will you give him all your Love ?
Nor think the labor vain ? Nor hate me when I come
to take, this lent child back again ?
I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, THY WILL BE DONE".
For all the joys thy child will bring,
the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness, we'll love
him while we may and for the happiness
we've known, forever grateful stay.
But should thy angels call for him much sooner than
we've planned, we'll brave the bitter grief
that comes and try to understand.
Im so so sorry. I have 16 years old son and I know what you feel.
Words cant help...but I think everybody who read that is with you in these tragical days!
