Folks Of Interest Cancer took my son.

I am so sorry to hear it, loudbang. May the Lord comfort and give you a peace that passes all understanding.

 

Sorry to hear of your loss! I too only have one son and can't imagine the pain you are going thru at this time. May the Lord Bless.

 

No man is an island,
entire of itself;
every man is a part of the continent,
a mart of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less,
as well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friends
or of thine own were.
Any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind,
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee.

John Donne

 

So sorry for your loss.

 

Loudbang,
That is , like so many have said, devastating news. It's definitely not the natural order of things. I have a daughter and a son. About ten years ago my son was in the depths of depression for four years. Some days I was't sure he'd still be alive when I came home from work.
Having had your son for forty four years is a bit of a blessing as you have those years to look back on. I truly believe that as long as a person is remembered they are not gone but simply not here. You'll be amazed at what comes out of your deep memory. One day you'll see him again so be strong and support those who loved him as well.
As Queen Elizabeth said, "Grief is the price we pay for love".

 

Sorry to hear of your family's loss

 

I gasped when I saw the thread title, and reading your post felt like a gut punch. I can't imagine the pain you're having to deal with. I've lost both of my parents and a brother (2 of them to cancer) other family members and close friends, but I'm sure there is nothing as bad as losing a child. My condolences to you Loudbang, I wish I had some effective words of comfort I could share, but I am speechless. May God give you strength and comfort, and heal your broken heart.

 

Most sincere Condolences on your loss.

 

Loudbang, sir, friend, I don't have any words in my vocabulary to ease your pain. Yet, it is with tear's in my eye's, that I pray for you and your family that you can overcome these devastating times. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you are in need. R. I. P. Christopher.
Prayers and Condolences, Jedd

 

Hurting with you Loudbang.

 

My deepest condolences. I pray you and yours will find peace on the other side of this loss.

 

Damn, got a lump in my throat when I saw this.
Parents aren't built to cope with the loss of a child. Just remember you have a large, ready made, support group here. We're thinking of you man. Prayers buddy.

 

Words cannot express my deepest sympathy.
Don’t remember the end. Remember the good times.
It will get better.
I’m praying for you. Stay strong.

 

Sincerest condolences from our house to yours, and to all who knew and loved your son.

Thanks for sharing this sad news.

 

I no longer post here but. Condolences Sir.

 

Very sorry to hear this Loudbang. We lost a daughter many years ago. I am praying that time will help you heal.

 

Pain hurts—-extreme pain REALLY hurts—-your son is in a “place”where there is NO more pain. My sincere condolences to your and your family! John in s.Texas

Soul crushing news ... I'm speechless

 

Oh, that is devastating. I am so sorry Loudbang. RIP.

 

So sorry Loudbang

 

Godspeed, I never question Gods plan

 

I'm so sorry for your loss.
When I read your post, tears were in my eyes and my heart for you and yours.

As I continued to read all the posts after, it was clear you weren't alone in your sorrow.
Many wonderful sentiments were shared by many wonderful people.

A couple that struck me:
- The HAMB was kinda like going to church.
In it's purist sense the church is not a building but a group made up of God's family.
It's pretty clear we are a family here on the HAMB.
- Don't like going to funerals because you would like to remember them as they were, and some mentioning the feeling of not having the right words to share in a time like this.
When I was younger I also didn't attend funerals and had a loss for words. But I came to realize that the funeral wasn't about the deceased as much as it was about the remaining. I still don't have the right words but I've found that the family and friends always appreciate our heartfelt expressions of love and support.
Family. Love and support. We got you man!
