Hi everyone, I know this is completely off topic and I hope you forgive me but a terrible thing happened today and I just have to let it out.

My wife was on her way to the store this morning and she slid on some ice which caused her to fishtail in the other lane. A van was coming in the opposite direction and smashed into the backdoor of the car. Our 7 month old boy suffered bleeding in the brain and died a few hours later. I still cannot believe these few seconds in time has taken him from us forever, I thank God for the 7 months he blessed us.

I am not posting this looking for sympathy, just to say please don't take anything for granted.

I am sorry for your loss today

Joe

My deepest condolonsce goes with you and your wife. May God himself bless you and bring you and your wife out of this difficult situation ...

I'll keep you in my prayers.

God Bless

My deepest condolonsces. I can't believe something like that happend. All my life I've been waiting to become a father and then I hear something like that happens to someone and it just hits me hard. I am glad to see how you are handling it though.

I can't even begin to express how sorry I am for you and how I really do feel a bit of your pain. I hope you and your wife get over this horrible accident soon with great faith. I wish you all the best.

Chris

I don not know you, but I am deeply saddened by your loss...
My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Thank you for reminding me to never take anything for granted.
You will be in our prayers...

Steve,

Our deepest condolonsces to you and to your family.

While reading your post my heart shattered, as I have experienced a similar loss quite recently. May god bless

Don't know you, but my deep condolences Steve.
May whoever you believe in give you the strength to live beyond this tragedy.

I have had probably the most challenging year of my life and it continues. My wife goes in for surgery next Tuesday.

However when I read your story it struck me that I can't feel sorry for myself. that I must continue to think of others and not think of myself.

I pray for you and wife, I pray that your child will quickly enter the arms of our Lord and will have a place to continue to share in your lives. Keep your faith strong through these times.

You and your family will be in my prayers.

If there is anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask this great community for help.

I am so sorry to hear that! I can just imagine what you are going through... I have a 21 month old son, and I can just imagine if that ever happen to our son. Makes me start to cry just thinking about it!

You are in my thoughts and my prayers! May God keep your faith strong and keep you steadfast!

If you ever need someone to talk to, just let me know (even though I know you don't know me from Adam..), its always good to have a friend outside the circle.

God Bless!
Tonya

Sorry to hear about your son. Deepest condolonsces to you and your family.

God Bless.

Steve,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. Being a parent myself, I can only imagine the horrible loss you are feeling. May you and those around you find the strength and peace to be able to face each tomorrow - bless your little angel. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

:( :bawling: Thats so sad, nothing i can say will really make any difference, but suffice to say he is at peace where he is, as a baby, he can committ no wrong. As you were put on earth to watch over him, now he watches over you....

You are in my prayers....

i am deeply saddened to hear about your loss, my deepest condolences for you and your family. may the love that you shared with your son light a path through your sorrow…

Thank you all so much for the kind words. It is very encouraging to see the good side of people.

The shock is beginning to wear off and I am really not taking this well. It is almost 2:30AM here and I cannot sleep, cannot deal with the 714 emails I have, cannot do much of anything. So I guess thats why I'm even posting this in here, I really hope I have not offended anyone by this.

Although I most likely will never understand this senseless tragedy it does bring comfort to see the warm side of humanity.

Aloha and God Bless
man it chokes me up to read that
can not say anything but will say a prayer for you and family.
being religous I can say you will have eternity to hold him in Heaven.
Chad

My deepest condolonsces. I'll leave it with that. I can't find any words.

Steve,
a friend of mine lost his 6 year old boy of leukemia several years ago. While he's living a normal life, work, chatting, what life is made of, his wife never recovered from the shock. She's constantly thinking of the lost child, quitted working, quitted almost everything she was doing.

After all these years, this wasted life of my friend's wife is far more present than their grief, because time is the great pain reliever. Grief and sorrow are their vicious friends. Don't let it happen to you.

What I tell you is try not to stop living. Maybe in these awful first days or weeks or months it will seem impossible to do anything else than crying. I believe it.
But it's your (and your wife) right and due to keep living, living well and seek happiness again.

If you don't know, there are - sadly - thousands of people that are experiencing NOW what you're experiencing. I think that talking with them can help you.

Here you can find some help:

We all are with you and your wife.

My thoughts are with you and your wife and I hope you have some people around you that will support you in the hard times too come.

my deepest condolences to steve and his family.

May god bless there child with gifts of heaven.

Also, I want to add my 2 cents, I realized today that this is not only the message board but this is coroner of people who are become friends, who work in same field and respect each other.

I will tell this story to my mom and dad and they will be more then happy to hear there are people who can not see or hear each other but they are ready to help each other in difficult times.

It's a real sad incidence. I wish it were not true or we could do something to reverse it..
We are really sorry to hear that. May god give you and your family the strenght.

Our condolences..

Amar

I am very sorry to hear this. My deepest condolences go out to you and your family.

I cannot even begin to imagine how hard this must be for you.

Take care.

Hello Steve-

I offer you and your wife my condolences and am deeply saddened by your loss. I want to say something to help, or make everything better...but words fail me.

You are separated only for a little while. You will be reunited with your son, in a place untouched by sorrow, pain, sickness, and death. You can spend an eternity getting to know him, expressing the love you feel for him.

-Lamar

I cant imagine the pain you are going through. But you have my sympathy and prayers.

My prayers are with you and your wife. Keep strong in your faith in God, as He will be with you and strengthen you.


"I am overcome by sorrow; strengthen me, as you have promised." -Psalms 119:28

My deepest condolences on this awful tradegdy....

Accept my deepest condolences too,

I am very sorry. I have lost my near relatives and I think I know how difficult is believing it.

Mac

I am so so sorry... My deepest sympaties to you and your wife
Is your wife OK? Did she get hurt or anything?

Deepest condolences.

"Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. "
Mark 10:14

"Now listen, you who say, ‘‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, ‘‘If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that."
James 4:13-17

Our deepest condolences to you and your family.

I am very sorry to hear this.
I hope you and your familiy get through this time of need.
God Bless you and your Family for your child is in God's Hands.


Chris

As a father myself, my heart goes out to you both. No words can express the sadness, the helplessness and grief that comes when a horrible thing like this happens.

You have my deepest, most sincere sympathies.

Ed

The thought of losing my son who's almost 14 months is enough to send my head spinning into a panic of heart stopping proportions, don't know what I'd do if I lost him like that.

No kind words will fix the wounds but it's all anyone can give at this time. Just know that there's a fella in Alabama with tears in his eyes for you.

I agree with Dixiesys. To try to put myself in your place right now is shattering. To even imagine the loss of our 2 year old daughter is something I cannot imagine.

If you feel angry, you should. If you feel dispair, then you should as well. Grief is something that will make you feel as if there's nothing left. Go outside and scream till you faint. But whatever you do, don't bottle it up. Right now your wife is going to need your strength, as she will probably feel at fault, even though it's no fault of her own - accidents happen, and in cases such as this the tragic results make you feel as if the world is crumbling around you.

It's wonderful you're remembering the time you've had with your son, rather than the future lost, and that's what you should hold on to. Having a child in your family is the most wonderful thing as I'm sure you'll agree, and that time together is something no-one can take away. Your memories of that time will hurt like hell at times, but they'll also make you smile. The little things no-one noticed but you, the smiles he gave when he looked into your eyes. Those precious moments you'll remember forever. They're memories you should hold onto, as that's what will get you through this tragic time. Focus on the good and wonder in the joy you got to be a part of for seven months, after all some people never get to experience even that.

I'm not a religious man, but understand those who feel it's 'in God's plan'. I also understand your faith is something you'll use to get you through in face of what must feel as if everything you've believed in has been torn from your arms. This post is a little longwinded but I'm yet to meet anyone that, facing this kind of adversity, hasn't felt their faith or place in the world shaken... All I'm trying to say is, if you feel the need to yell, scream, rage then you should. Weep until you feel you can't weep anymore. Grieve for the death of your son and honor him they way he should be honored in death, but remember your wife will need strength from you, and will be depending on you.

I had a friend die last week myself.. as with you, an accident and a split second happening - he spent a few days in hospital with 16% brain function before the switch was turned off. The wake is due this week.

I wish you and your loved ones the best, and offer my deepest condolences.

Greg Moore

As with everyone, my sympathies...

Keep the memories safe and treasure them... :angel:

As the father of two young girls, I cannot even begin to imagine the pain. Be strong.

My Deepest condolonsces to your family.

I'm not a parent yet (soon to be though in about 6 months) I can imagine what that would be like.

I am in shock......no words can describe what I just read......

My DEEPEST sympathies to you, your wife, and all those involved in this tragedy.

Be strong!

This is very sad m8! Things like that should not happen! I don't have children, yet, and just the though of something like this scares me to death.

I am sorry about your loss and may god bless the soul of your child.
