Brian,

I am so sorry for your loss, and the pain that you are feeling. Of course all that you are feeling is normal for someone who is grieving deeply. I wish that I could do or say something to take your pain away.

What I can do is try to comfort you and give you hope.

Mark 5:42 And immediately the girl rose and began walking. (She was 12 years old.) And at once they were beside themselves with great ecstasy.

This is an account where Jesus resurrects a 12 year old girl who had died. The parents of course were "beside themselves with great ecstasy". What this does for me is give me HOPE. The hope then comforts me and helps me look forward instead of behind.

Looking forward to a reunion !!!  Can't wait.

If there is anything that I can say or do to help you, or supply comfort, please just let me know.

Brian, I am so sorry for the loss of your dear son. I too lost my son 3.5 years ago. It is my second child death. 

I wish I had magic words to say or some soothing potion to take away the searing pain. Does it get easier, or do we just find a way to bear this horrible situation because there are no great options...one loses no matter what path is taken it seems...

I send gentle thoughts your way today...it is a hard road...take it a little at a time, and it is okay to take one step forward and five steps back...as living without our beloved children is more hellish than any one could know.

Take care.
