Help for today & Hope for tomorrow

I lost my only child, Ashton to a terrible disease. He was only 4 years old and full of spirit, he was a loving and caring child. He loved when my husband would read to him a story before bedtime, I never knew about what. I had suffered from my father's death but his death is not as painful like when I lost Ash. And after that I dont know if I will ever be able to move forward from that pain.

Hi Alexandra,

I am SO sorry to hear about Ashton and truly understand your feelings.  Thank you for sharing.  I know from firsthand experience that communication is key to recovery, so you're doing a great thing.  I've noticed that you've been in the chat room recently and hope that has been helpful.  I pray the resources here provide Help for Today & Hope for Tomorrow.

Huge Hug,

Hi Alex so sorry you lost your precious baby. Everyday is a struggle I will pray you find comfort.



Thank you for all of your suport, and kind words.

I am also grieving the lose of my 15 year old.  I am wondering the same as far as how long the pain will be as strong as I feel it right now.  I know that I am not the same person I once was that is for sure.  I think that I have defiantly learned that I am not in control God is and I have learned that living in fear is not good I do have my other 2 kids and I feel that God could call any of them or a loved one up and I can't control what He does.  I trust that God will give me strength and comfort in His time and that He will help me learn what it is that I need to learn.   I am divorced and am dating and I tried to break up with my boyfriend just wishing not to have to deal with a love life on top of grieving its as if I can only muster enough energy to get through my day let alone try to think about romance in my life.  I know you must be afraid and no one can replace your son but would you like to have more children?  As mothers we tried to love and always protect and we are devastated when we cant keep our kids from pain I think that the Lord is the same way we need to continue to go to Him and ask Him what he wants us to do with our lives.  I don't think He intends for us to stay in a state of pain and grief in time we will heal and begin to enjoy things in life we once enjoyed.  I just try to remember that my son went ahead of me and that some day I will join him.
