Prayer Circles

Heavenly Father; You gave your son, Jesus, so that we may have life ever lasting. Please remember those who are besides themselves in grief and ease their pain and give them strength to endure til they are reunited with their loved ones, never to be parted again. AMEN

Sobbie, thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts. Thank you for reminding us that we will, one day, see our beloved children again. It's a tough road to go down, but with God's help, we'll eventually make it and grow stronger.

I also lost my son, he was only 5. I miss him terribly it has not yet been a year (july 3). I wish I could just understand. May God bless each and everyone of us and give us the strength to just go on.

I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I TOO LOST A SON DUE TO DOCTOR NEGLIGENCE. HE WAS A MONTH OLD, HE WOULD TURN 3 ON JUNE 9TH OF THIS YEAR.MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AS THE HEALING PROCESS CONTINUES. I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS.

jessie6, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss of your beloved little son. It's very hard to believe right now, but one day you will understand. Be gentle with yourself, it hasn't even been a year yet. May Our Heavenly Father give you the strength, spiritually and physically to help you on your own journey through grief. God Bless you.
Luv Sandy

MYLILANGELJJ, I'm so very sorry to hear of your own loss also, especially due to Dr. error. It doesn't matter how old our child is when we lose them, it still leaves an ache in our hearts. May Our Lord keep you strong and help you also on your path. God Bless

I pray for all of you that lost a child by any means. It is a terrible thought when you outlive your own child. I lost my son, 3 years ago in June and the pain never goes away. He was 18 years old and was violently killed. With the strength of God and knowing I must be strong for my other 2 children I have gone on but have not been the same. I use to think there was nothing worse than loosing a parent until I lost a child. Bless all of you and may you keep your strength and faith in God.

Aleshia1959, I am so very sorry about the loss of your own beloved son at such a young age to violence. It must have been horrendous for you to lose him this way. My heart goes out to you, as do my prayers. No, I don't think there is anything more painful than losing a child. It leaves you feeling as though a big part of you went with them and it's impossible to try and fill up that hole, for only they could. And yes, you are forever changed by their death. I'm happy that you haven't lost your faith and are leaning on the strength that only Our Heavenly Father can give, you have your other children who need you very much too. God bless you and thank you also for your prayers.

Dear Shaner,
May it give you peace to know that there are others out here who are praying for you though we may not know the pain of the loss of a child which must be a terrible hole in your life. May Our God give you inner strenght and peace of mind to carry on in your son's memory. You are in my prayers. With love, Anniec1

anniec 1, May Our Heavenly Father bless you for taking the time to post your kind words and prayers, and it's very comforting to know that there are other's such as yourself, who think of us! God bless you,

As I read through the prayers, a thought comes to mind. What was, is, what is, will be. My loss is the loss of mothers and fathers everywhere. In the Bible, mothers and fathers lost children, from Adam and Eve to us. Animals lose children, some of them mourn. We are not alone in our loss. This is not new, nor will it cease before the end of time. God did not want us to suffer any grief, but we listen to evil. Try as we might to keep it out of our lives, it is there, sin, disease, death. Our hope, our comfort, is in God. He goes on and our children go on with Him. They will never know suffering, rejoice. My grandmother told me years ago that we have it backwards,we should weep when a child is born into this world of strife and rejoice when a person goes on to live eternally with God. I thought I would go crazy when my older sons died, since their deaths were at someones elses' hand, I thought it was so unfair. But then I thought back to the beginning of time, I am not alone, life has endured, and by showing faith, we endure and go on to help each other. God's love helps each of us help each other be strong and endure. We are all God's children and we all must remember to thank Him for the life he gave us to love and treasure even though it may have been taken what we consider to be "too soon". One day, we will be with them and bask in God's Heaven, too!
Remember them with love and rejoice in their being with God.

BARBL W, your post is so true, we're not alone, although a death of a child can leave you feeling very much that way. Our children are now enjoying a life that we could never possible provide for them, so we are extremely thankful to God for His love and His presence in our lives. With God's help we do endure and we wll go on and yes, we are all His children! So we must help one another out and in doing so help ourselves, and rest in the knowledge that one day we will see them again! Thank you for your wonderful post, your own losses have led you to the place that you are in now, with the help of Our Heavenly Father, God bless you

Dearest Jesus, I pray for these parents who are suffering a great lose which I, too, know of with the lost of a son and son-in-law. Help them to heal with faith and love from you. Please let their memories of their son be loving and happy ones. Let them keep him in their hearts and have the tears washed away by you. I ask this in Jesus's name. Amen

dutch45 Thank you for posting your prayers, you also know the loss of a beloved child and your son-in-law. Our memories of our children are all happy ones and we hold onto them dearly, they are treasures of the heart.
God bless you also in your own losses!

My prayers are with all of you. My son died of s.i.d.s. 20 yrs ago. I still feel the the emptiness in my heart for him. He was born 2 weeks before christmas and died on ash wednesday in march 1981. I was so depressed after that that I started to dread the hollidays. I was a teenager when I had him and my whole outlook on life changed.I was beside myself with grief, and mad at the world and at God. It wasn't until 4 yrs. ago that I talked to God again with out anger and asked for the healing, unknowing to me God had carried me through all these years,
I had thoughts of suicide but all that came to ahead when the anniversary of his death came and I had recently moved here from n.y.c., I couldnot visit his grave and I was torn inside so deeply that I cried like I never before. God blessed me later that month with my daughter who is now 3 and a 1/2.
Although my daughter can never replace my son, I found peace in knowing that God is merciful and that he does here us
and now I am sure that I will see my son again in the afterlife. God is with all of us, for if he wasn't . we would not had made it this far. He gave his son for us and he has our children in a wonderful place. So keep praying . our children will always be with us. There bodies are a memory but their spirit lives on. AMen

Ivelez1, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your dear baby! You were so young yourself when it happened, it must have been very hard on you!
Our Heavenly Father knows of the pain we're going through and stays by our side throughout, and even understands our anger towards Him. He loves us all so much and just patiently waits for us to turn to Him, but He never leaves us. Since your loss you've been blessed with another child, and as you say, she won' t replace your beloved baby, but you will love her for the child she is, just as you loved your baby for the child he was.
Yes, God is definitely with us all, there is no way even I myself could have made it this far without His tremendous love. So we are comforted in the knowledge of His love and the knowledge that we will see our beloved children when it's our turn! God bless you,
Luv Sandy

I have just had a cousin who has been missing from 5-13-01 tell today . His parents I believe are not religious , but can you please keep them in prayer, for the word is we will never see him again, hes is only 22. Thank you, and may god be with you also..and an angel with my cousin tell he is found!

My prayers are with all grieving parents - we recently lost our 20 yr. old daughter Kristina, to Leukemia, 2 weeks before her 21st birthday. She was diagnosed on February 22nd and died on March 15th. The grief is so intense and endless. The only solace being the day we will join her with the angels.

I light this candle for you, my mother, and all parents who have lost a child. With this candle I send positive thoughts of love, peace, comfort, and courage to all of you.

My Mother lost her first child on his first birthday. It was an accident, but she blamed herself.

I never knew my brother as I was born two years after his death. But I did know of the pain of my mother.

I imagine the loss of a child has got to be the hardest loss to bear. Parents should not have to experience the death of their child....at least not while they are living in this world.

My heart goes out to all of you.

Namaste',
Layla

layladelay - Layla, thank you for your wonderful post! I'm so sorry to hear of your own mother's loss and your's also. I truly hope your mother has come to a peace and doesn't blame herself anymore. Guilt is such a negative emotion when it comes to the loss of a child, it causes a pain of it's own on top of the grief of the loss. But your beloved mother is not alone, there are a lot of us who feel guilt when we've lost a child, the 'if only's' start to emerge. I truly hope that your mother is past that now.
Once again, thank you for your post and kind, loving thoughts and they are sent back to you. God bless you.
Luv Sandy
