but I have not been able to write anything else either. It's been almost two weeks since my last post.
On Sat. Feb 20. my 2-year old nephew was hit by a vehicle and passed away. My heart is absolutely broken for my brother-in-law and his wife. I cannot imagine the pain that they are going through, and how badly they just want it to go away. I don't know if you ever completely stop feeling the pain of losing a child and I pray that I never have to find out. I pray for comfort and healing for their family. It's an awful, awful situation, and we don't know why, we may never know why these things happen. But, without a doubt, our Creator does and he is in ultimate control and I trust in His plan.
Alyssa asked me a couple of days after it happened, "Why did N have to die?". I told her, "I don't know, we may never know. But God knows and God has a plan for our lives and he had N's life planned. It's in these times that we have to trust that God's plan is perfect, even if we don't understand it." It's really hard to explain death to children, but this is what I am 100% sure of and she was comforted by these words and for this I am thankful.
Obviously there are no words to adequately easy any pain but your family will be in my thoughts. I am so sorry for your loss and also can't imagine having to bear that situation. May your nephew rest peacefully.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. Praying for their family.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for what you and your family are going through. I hope that time heals the hurt quickly.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your nephew. It is the worst thing in the world for a parent to have to bury their child. My boss lost his daughter and niece when they got hit by a man in a high speed car chase. I don't think people can ever stop hurting. I am praying for your family. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry to hear this, Chasity. My heart just breaks any time I hear of a mom losing her child. Oh, it just makes me so sad. I'll pray for your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you all, so much for your condolences and prayers. We spent the day on Sunday with our family and they seem to be doing really well, considering the situation. Thank you, again.
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog and was reading about your nephew. I am so sorry and my prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteYou are brave to forge through and post. I might have run.
