Shane Whalen
This Prayer Circle is Dedicated to my son Shane Whalen Who Passed Away On March 15, 1999 at the Age of 24, & All Other Children


Start a prayer circle for bereaved parents who have lost a child.


There are many of us out there who have lost a child, and it is devastating. It changes the outlook on life, plunges you into a depression, and you think that the feelings and thoughts you have nobody else could possibly relate to. I think a prayer circle for bereaved parents would only benefit us and help us on our journey of grief. This Circle is one of Love, where a Grieving Parent can safely come to for Prayers, and to talk about their feelings.

Please pray for my friends, Mark and Denise and their children, Meredith and Max. They lost their son and brother, Drew in February and have had a hideous time coping. Please pray that God eases their pain and opens their eyes to his plan so they don't feel so alone.

All parents who have posted on this site who have lost a child know of the devastating pain the loss of a child brings. It is like no pain imaginable. You, yourself, want to die also, to be free of the pain. You are doing the best thing you can do for your friends, praying for them, and just be there for them, listen to them, let them know you care. They are definitely included in our prayers on my site. Our Heavenly Father will see them through this.

GOD~
Please help Shane live an eternity of bliss because our lives are so short in comparison to our heavenly afterlives. He was a person who left his mark on earth through the people he loved. Let his family find peace with their son's fate and live a wonderful life.
Amen.
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too lost my son in august of this year. It has been real hard. I believe he knew Shane, if Shane has a brother named Craig. I will pray for you.

Thank you light4000 for your beautiful prayer, it's a very wise one for such a young person, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
showngrace, thank you also for your prayer, and I am so sorry to hear of the death of your son also. Yes, it's very hard. But keep praying! No, Shane's only brother is Chris.

Dear Lord,
I come to you with a humble heart, and I ask that You comfort the bereaved parents.
I ask that You share in their pain and that You fill their hearts with Love and Comfort.
I ask that You will let these parents know that You are their for them now, in their hour of anguish, and that Your Divine Love and Healing will help them.
I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

I lost my son on May 30, 1996."Baby" Russell was only seven wweeks old. I miss him so.His birthday is April 10,1996. A year later I gave birth to a baby girl on April 21, 1997. I still grieve for him, sometimes it feels like it happened just yesterday, I can still smell his baby scent and feel his soft skin. I can still hear his baby coo and see him smile. I do understand all of you. But I am living today because I know that would have been his wish, to see his Mommy smile and laugh again. He taught me to appreciate life and to love. He makes his presence known to me every now and then, so I know that I have done the right thing by standing up and going on for his two brothers and sister. He had to go to another place where he could be our guardian angel for all eternity, he knew that one day we would seek his help through God, our Creator. He is still very much alive in my heart, I must always remember to continue on and live so that he can enjoy peace and contentment in seeing me happy once again. My joy brings him joy. It is very difficult to let go, i know. It was very hard for me to accept his death, but I was trying to committ suicide a number of times almost succeeding but now I know that if I did committ suicide I would never see him again because his death was innocent. Suicide would not be an innocent death therefore we would never meet in the other life, I would have gone somewhere else. But I do pray that all the grieving parents would find the strength to carry on and start living again. See everything and expereince everything for our children. Go to MacDonalds, play on the swings, play Nintendo skip rope, eat popsicles, do the things our children loved or would have loved. I'll never know what its like to hear my son call me mommy, nor will I ever feel his arms encircle me, but I can feel his presence everywhere I go, I see him when the sun is setting, when I hear a child's laughter, when I hear A bird sing. He is everywhere. Most importantly , he is in my heart. I thank God that he answered my prayers and taught me how to love again. And to live. Life for me is no longer a burden or something to be endured. I am here. God loves me. My son loves me. That is way more than I could have ever hoped for.God chose me to give birth to that precious human being, and that was indeed a special gift that I will always cherish. I pray that you all can experience the joy and happiness that I am now living. It has not always been easy, I have my difficult moments where I let go a littlt more but I get through it because I trust that God knows what he is doing. God Bless You All. I love you and you are all very nspecial people, never forget that.

shaner, I know they greif and lost you feel also, My daughter Savannah HOPE. Was born on Christmas Eve last year-99. She died 3 days we had no idea she was sick or anything, We world came crashing down around me , this christmas was very hard for me and my family, do you ever forget the pain? I HOPE that in time i will learn to speak of her and be able to control my emotions at the same time. Cause of death was CHF (congestive heart failure)
She only had 2 chambers in her heart instead of 4. We never knew there was anything wrong with her she seemed so healthy, except she would not eat now we know she would not eat because she could not breath at the same time. I feel so robed... I know that is probably not a good way to explain,but that is the only word that describes the pain and loss I feel. My prayers are with you ..... God I ask right now in the name of Jesus that you give this family the peace and show them the mercy you have given to me and mine. Your Love has no bounds, no end, and no strings attached , you love us unconditionally. Lord I ask these things of you in your precious son Jesus name. Amen
All his Love, Lady GeeGee

LadyGeeGee, my heart goes out to you, AnAngelsMom, Natori and those of you who have not suffered such a loss but have been kind enough to post a prayer here - my heartfelt thanks. To you three mothers mentioned above, I fully understand how you feel. A good friend of mine who lost her child eight years ago gave me some good advice. She told me the pain never goes away, but does lessen. Instead of feeling like knives are piercing our hearts, in time, they will feel like pinpricks. That gave me a lot of hope. I would not be where I am today without the help of the many people who included me in their prayers, my own prayers when the pain became too tough to bear, and Our Heavenly Father who was the only one who understood what I was going through, and kept me strong. I thank Him all the time for His love and for the gift of my son who brought so much love and joy into my life. Without all these blessings, I may have tried what you did, Natori, and I'm grateful that I did not go that route. I am also happy that you did not either.
Lady GeeGee, my heart goes out to you also. Yes, I did attend counselling meetings with an organization called Bereaved Parents. In the US they are called Compassionate Friends. I urge you to find one in your area and try it out. You will be among people who are going through much the same as you, and it does make it a lot easier to talk to someone who can relate. God Bless you all, you'll be in my prayers.
Love Sandy

Dear friends-my prayers go out to every one of you, as does my heart. I had a beloved friend who was killed in an accident on June 30, 2000. HEr name is Breanna and she was 19. Her family, especially her mother Alice is in great need of many loving thoughts and prayers. If you feel comfortable, please send a loving prayer for her and her family. God bless each and every one of you--with love and compassion-ARM

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow. Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles, I've only gone
to rest a little while. All though
my leaving causes pain and grief,
my going has eased my hurt and
given me relief. So dry your eyes
and remember me, not as I am now,
but as I used to be. Because I will
remember you all and look on with
a smile. Understand, in your hearts,
I've only gone to rest a little while.
As long as I have the love of each
of you, I can live my life in
the hearts of ALL of you.
I lost my "Big Brother" Feb. 14th, 1993.
It has forever changed my family. Especially my mother. But, with God's
help you can and will make it. He was
38 yrs. old. I had my son Feb.17th, 1997. (A miracle child) our only child.
I do not know what it is like to lose
a child, I cannot fathom the hurt and
the heartache, I pray I never know. My prayers and my thoughts are with ALL of you, as well as my own beautiful mother.
May God bless each and every one of you
and keep his mighty love and angels around you. I know the pain I feel in
having lost my brother,but even that pain cannot be compared to the pain of losing a child. God Bless and keep you
Sandy and your family. My heart, my
thoughts, my prayers are with you. In
the Name Of Jesus. Amen and Amen.

She never did come back to us,Now tommorrow morning i have to face 15 small children(including my own 4 year old twins) and try to explain why she is gone.
