Loss of a Child


Words I was told when I lost my son of 21 years

A pastor came to my house about a week after the worst day of my life (November 5, 2005), and I asked him why did God do this to myself and my son? Did I do something wrong, did he? I also said that I love the Lord and I know we are not to question him, but I'm mad at him and I know that's wrong of me and I surley do not mean any disrespect to the Lord (there was this battle going on in my head). The pastor asked me "did you ever make a decision for your son and you knew it would piss him off?" But you stuck by that decision anyway knowing that he would be mad or hurt? I replied yes. He then said, well God is our father and he had to make a decision for whatever reason and had to stick by his choice as well...and in due time God will tell you why. That helps me someday's when the feeling is strong. I know that we will be together again with no sickness and no death, and we will be so happy together. I know God has my son, and he didn't not want him to suffer no more. If not with me, who better to take care of him than God!

In reading your post, I couldn't imagine how it would feel to loose a child. It has to no doubt be a devastating time. Although it may seem unbearable at times like you mentioned be comforted in the hope that Jehovah God supplies for us (Psalms 83:18). God holds out the hope that in the near future, there will be a time when "death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry or pain be anymore", a time when "all those in the memorial tombs will cry out" (Revelation 21:3,4; Matthew 5:28,29). Jehovah holds this promise out to all who gain an accurate knowledge of his will and requirements and exercises faith by following them wholeheartedly. How wonderful it will be when you can be reunited with your son at that time! I wish you well as you and that you and your family can find peace as you continue to cope.

You're post made me smile, I have children too and haven't we all made a decision that we knew would "piss them off" it put a different perspective on things. Thank you. My daughter was 15 when she died, and her twin brother is now 21. It seems like a long long time has passed but really it's not so much. We never really lose them in our hearts. Thanks again.

Wow Jrs MoM, Thank-You, Thank-You, Thank-You for posting this. Exactly. That is the one thing that can't be taken from me and that is I know where my son is and no one can tell me any different.
