Some of you may remember...
Last November I lost my grandson in a tragic auto accident. I have been through a session of grief therapy and with this program, I feel like I have come a long way in my progress - except Ethan's interment will be this afternoon at 5pm. (He had been cremated) This brings everything back up to the surface where it again becomes fresh and raw and the pain in my heart is heavy. As a Christian, is it wrong to ask "Why"? Just needed to vent, I am just really sad today. Blessings, Judy

Luvlife, first of all, I am so sorry for your loss, My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. God is the creator of comfort, therefore you will be comforted at the perfect time! Grief is something that you must go through, it even speaks of a specific time of grieving in the bible. It what helps us heal. However, we must always keep our eyes onChrist Jesus as we are dealing with the grief of loss. Don't be hard on yourself, let the comforter(holy spirit) work in you. Why is a common response to lifes afflictions. Even Jesus asked his father "why?" remember on the cross when he said, "Father, WHY has thou forsaken me"? You will be okay, and please know that we are praying for you all!

Judy I am so sorry for your tragic loss. It will be a very difficult day for you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
It is only natural that all your feelings will resurface regarding your grandson's loss. Let yourself feel what it needs to feel, don't try to fight it beacuse I think that makes our anxiety/depression worse.
Take care of yourself today and over the next few days. God Bless.

I lost my nephew at 21yrs old in a car accident.
As a christian, i definitely beleive God knows we ask why? I know many times i have. My sister in Law told me a few days after it happened, she asked why, for a single moment. She would miss him terribly, he was her son, her youngest son.
I asked her how she could bare such a loss as a child, she told me, ONLY through the STrength of God can we endure anything in life, especially the loss of a child.
That her son was setting at with Christ in heaven. Her Constant faith has brought her through many hardships, just as it will yours.
Its okay to ask why? Just know that your grandson is not alone, and being very well taken care of by Our Creator. My prayers are with you.

Bless all of you for your words of encouragement, your sincere concern, caring and prayers. The interment service was beautiful - a wonderful sunny warm day with billowing clouds that I am sure Ethan put there. There were a lot of students there along with family and extended family and each wrote a note to "E" and they were to be placed in the vault. His brother and sister cut the string of balloons and they went straight to those clouds, you could see them for miles. What an awesome moment for all of us...It was actually a celebration - for all that knew and loved him and his beautiful smile. Thank you all for your words and for letting me share this special event with you. God Bless and Keep each and everyone of you. Peace and Joy - Judy
