Nothing I can say will help. . . . just sending good thoughts your way. I'm very, very sad for you.

I'm sorry, as we all are, for your terrible loss. Keep us updated on how you are feeling, if it helps. We wish you to have all the support you need to get through this difficult time.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

Feeling quite helpless because words seem so useless. Or at best inadequate. May you find the peace and support that you need.

Thank you all for your love and kind words. I love you all! I'm blessed to have a great support system IRL and that helps a ton. You guys are my spiritual support and I can't thank you enough for that. I'll post more later. Right now I'm still so out of it. Please know your words, thoughts, and prayers are comforting to me.

I'm sorry you're going through this.
I also hope you feel that I'm here if there's something I can do for you.
One thing that has given me some sense of peace has been reading about NDE's (Near Death experiences).

This piece has also expressed feelings that have been difficult to otherwise express...

MoPag, I missed the unedited op, but it seems like (from the posts on this thread) your son was very young and the experience was horrendous (not that losing one's son is ever anything but horrendous). ((hugs)) I wish I could "make it all better." ((hugs))
There are 2 Gods. One who created us. The other you created. The God you made up is just like you-thrives on flattery-makes you live in fear.

Believe in the God who created us. And the God you created should be abolished.
