To lose a child must be the worse kind of pain. I lost my niece and her children in a tragedy 4 yrs after her husband had passed from cancer. They were so young. So beautiful. Prior to this I'd lost my sister to pancreatic ❤cancer and a yr later my brother died of complications from Parkinsons. If it weren't for the Lord in my life I'd have given up. He is my strength. May the parents of the children who have passed on find peace and love. ❤

He is my strength too. I lost my beautiful disabled daughter from rape and murder during covid lockdown in Sept 2021, soon after one of my best friends died. I look to Jesus and ask Him to use me and my shared testimony for His glory. She has an amazing legacy that speaks of God's hand throughout her life. My faith and trust remains, despite my broken heart

My sister lost her 11 year old daughter along with our mother when the driver of the other vehicle fell asleep. He walked away with two broken ribs,we walked away with two broken hearts. We all went through the “what ifs” too. If mom had been delayed even five minutes….if she were just not going out that day. I was so so so so angry. I was so angry and bitter that I got physically sick. I had no voice. I lost my voice. I was supposed to read a poem at the funeral, but I couldn’t even speak a word.

I found my 3 month old son dead in the crib and lost my mind. Instinctively I called my partner but apparently all he said he heard was primal-like screaming over the phone. He can't recall rushing home from work. He drove screaming and shouting. I'm surprised he didn't end up in a car accident on his way back based on the state of the car. When he got back to the our home we rushed my son to the hospital but in my heart, I knew our son was dead on arrival. My heart sank the minute I found him. Life is a nightmare. I am totally lost. Tomorrow I will be checked in at a medical center to gain some help from professionals. 3 months in and I just cannot process this new reality. We are broken. I failed my living daughter and deceased son. I am deeply sorry for your tragic loss. It's gut-wrenching. Your daughter is such a precious soul.

I couldn't imagine. This is one of the primary reasons I don't have children. People have issue with me not having children but when I try to explain I can't deal with the grief if something happened to them, they don't get it. I don't know how I would be able to function with this. You all are so brave. I'm reading through the comments and all I could think of is that you all are such brave people. You all loved that child so much and STILL do. Your children are blessed to have you as parents. Don't feel guilt or anger towards yourself. It's not your fault. David - you're not superhuman. It's normal to feel like a protector at all times but it just isn't possible at all times. I pray you all continue to have strength and find comfort during this time.

The texts stopped as soon as the service was done. People will gather with their loved ones as they should, but my loss is unimaginable. People are lovingly telling me that "it will get better", "you are strong", "you need to find a purpose ", "go get another cat " to replace the one I lost at the same time, and the other one 3 weeks ago. People want me to be "ok" and when I tell them I am not, they say "I'm sorry", but still want me to do positive things. I can't even BREATHE. I don't WANT to breathe anymore.

One of the hardest for me was comments that well meaning people said that ended up being hurtful for whatever reason.

God Bless You ALL!!!! When my grief from losing loved ones wells up in my chest I like watching “Near Death Experiences” on RU-vid which seems to bring me some Peace. A recurring theme throughout the majority of their stories is the calmness, peace, and happiness that the person who has passed feels. Also, the person that has passed usually does not want to return to earth. In addition, they also have some sense that they will see their loved ones really soon. Often, they see loved ones on the other side… sometimes a Grandparent who they never even met during their lives on this earth. This is what helps me!

No real motive known. Another young man was also killed. To make things even more tragic my brother in law lost his 17 yo only son to a shooting in the 90s. This was at a gas station over a girl. This is just a working family. No criminal enterprises.I hope we can support him. He visits us often. I am so very sorry for all of you.

Nobody prepares you for the loss of your child. It is something that you cannot explain, the deep grief and heart pain and blackness that overwhelms you for years. We lost our only son nearly 30 years ago, but the missing is still there and the longing to see, hold, and hear them. Thank you for your bravery in recalling such awful circumstances of your child's death. So very sorry for your loss.

Thank you both for y’all’s ability to be vulnerable and allow some of us who have newly entered this unimaginable space of brokenness. Our son passed at 19 on 5-12-24. David, you nailed the way I’ve felt in multiple different ways during this. I feel like literally part of my soul died with our son. I’m usually out going, funny, entertaining. Now i don’t hardly laugh or joke. I’ve noticed I’m isolating myself because i can’t keep my thoughts together enough to hold a long conversation. I’ve cried every day for the past three weeks. I never knew i could love anyone this much. I woke up yesterday crying because i just wanted to hug him so tight. I’ve heard a couple really good sayings. grief is a reflection of a connection that has been lost. Two empty vessels can’t fill each other. I’m searching for an online grief group since i work a 13hr shift it’s hard to find an in person one. I looked through this video but couldn’t find the one you mentioned. Lord bless Ray

We (my family) lost my niece when she was 19 months old while on a family vacation to our parents retirement home. Flew in at night around 10pm..went swimming before bed...swam when the woke up.. went to put the car seat in the other car to go buy groceries and to get her to take a nap... in 30 seconds of my mom and sister putting in the car seat she went missing...30 seconds! They ran around the house...yelling.. looked in the pool and she was almost touching the bottom. They tried cpr.. the hospital tried for 4 hours..and they had to call it. My sister called me while my mom was doing cpr. I was her daycare provider she was my side kick.. my family and my brother flew down on the 1st flight available but we were to late. I miss her more than anything..I now care for her baby sister..we will never not talk about Cassidy and tell everyone and her sister all about her♡

PLEASE, please, please tell me how you do it??? I am just over a year without my son and I cannot even begin to laugh, be happy, find joy anywhere. I feel like I am walking around with a heavy wet blanket around me. The absence of his presence is enough to make me want to die more often than not. Every corner I turn, there is a trigger. Memories sneak up on me and shatter my heart all over again. I am desperately trying to get to the place where photos, memories, events and places make me smile rather than cry. I pray and pray some more, I read everything I can but there is no magical answer. The magnitude of this loss is too overwhelming for me at this point. I feel like I miss him more every day. The thought of all of the ‘never agains’ with him takes my breath away. I dont know how I am going to survive this. At 8 months, I was just coming out of my fog. I dont remember much of last fall/winter. Christmas coming is too unbearable to think about. I am drowning😭

You video just came up on my feed, I don't know why, I've never watched other videos on grief or child loss. Unfortunately I never had children, so can't begin to imagine what you're going through. I have lost grandparents, parents and a brother. I love to talk about them with others, sharing stories and getting reminders of all the good times they had. A friend just lost her mum, I messaged her immediately to say if she wanted to talk, cry, laugh or scream I would always listen. I believe that's all we can do for others going through the grief process. Being available when needed, but never pushing our opinions or expecting their grief to be the same. There is no time limit, I only hope you, and others around you, recognise and believe that. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Xx

Bless your sweet family. My heart breaks for you. I lost my son January 2006 and I still wake up wanting to talk to him or ask him a question. Like you guys, I love to hear stories about Billy and love to tell "Billy stories". I make people uncomfortable when I bring him up. I don't want people to forget him. It is great that you too can grieve together and talk. My experience was the exact opposite. I pray that Max is getting help because I know this weighs heavily on him. When you talked about crying in public, it reminded me of 2 weeks after Billy died. I was eating alone at a buffet. A pregnant woman beside me started choking and I went into a full blown panic attack . Then I yelled a sweet Kady that came over to check on me.. after a few minutes I did apologize and explain my reaction. My son had been paralyzed from the chest down 7 years prior. He died from choking on chewing tobacco. He fell asleep with it in his mouth. I can't tell you how many times I got on him for doing that. He always called me paranoid. One of my first thoughts was "Billy! I told you not to do that!" Birthdays and holidays are when it hits me hard. Most of the time I can talk without a problem but get teary other times. You never stop thinking of them. I'm wrapping my arms around your whole family. Love and hugs.

My heart grieves for you. It's so hard. Thankfully I didn't experience this kind of loss and I hope and pray I never have to but I have a 9-year-old and I could never imagine life without him. Both of my grandparents passed away a few years apart which caused Family estrangement. the loss of my grandparents who were my rock and not having one side of my family that I was closest to is what I have to grieve. I feel so alone at times and I know I need to create a new life and start a new one for my son. It's so hard! Everyone has grief differently and the pain and loss and void are the worst. It's hard because you want to fill it but its not always the healthiest because you use the wrong things to fill it with. I feel like I lost the ones I use to lean on and cry on in hard times because I wasnt close to my mom (their daughter). I cant do that with my dads family. I wish I knew how to grieve it and feel better and less sad and alone in hard times.

My deepest condolences to the whole family. I too am a bereaved parent. We lost our youngest daughter at age 21, 9 years ago this coming December. She was diagnosed with the severe rheumatoid arthritis. They gave steroids that I’m sure didn’t help. A week before Christmas, my oldest daughter went to turn off her alarm clock, and then she shouted that her sister was not responding. She had passed away overnight. We go to The Compassionate Friends, with chapters worldwide. She passed away 10 months after my mom, same year. We had a portrait made her smiling when she got engaged. That smile is there as walk down the stairs. I have a tattoo of her inside my lower arm with her as a mermaid, she loved the Ocean and it’s creatures. She was cremated and hope to throw them in the Ocean when we move. She was getting ready to transfer to UNC-Charlotte to complete her degree in Meteorology with a minor in Broadcasting. Hugs to all

I truly think that I died the same day that she died and I’m just waiting for God to pull me from this earth.

I'm so, so very sorry. I remember feeling exactly the same way. The first months are literally just about survival. One second at a time. Focus on eating what you can, moving your body as much as you can, breathing deeply, trying to sleep (if possible), and seeking professional help if you need it. Sending you so much love and so many hugs. 💔

I,m real sorry your family is going through that I will try and finish the video I lost my son February 9th 2015 to murder. Justin was 25 years old I can't even function I'm om all kinds of meds life will never be the same the stages of grief are out of chronological order just like his death was.

Yes, yes, yes with the stages. Totally not in order for everyone. I'm so sorry about your son. If you need meds, take them! Just be careful that they're not completely numbing you to all of your grief. ❤️ Sending hugs.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your living children are doing as well as they can be given the circumstances with the loss of their sister. I will be keeping your family in my thoughts.

Thank you so much, Anna. They are doing ok. My oldest (who was driving) is actually doing well thanks to work with a trauma therapist. My 17 year-old doesn't like to share his emotions, so it's been more of a rough road with him.

Other factors make a couple, not just grief or getting on. It may not be love you see, it may be a collective grief that they share!

I am so, so, so sorry for the loss of your precious son. Please understand that it WILL get better. You will never get over it, but you won't always feel the complete desperation that you feel right now. Right now you just need to focus on surviving each day. Sending so much love. ❤️

I lost my first true Love my son Jesse October 28 2022 He made me a mother .He taught me true sacrifice, he taught me what true Love is and in a matter of blink of a eye My first true Love was gone , And I hurt so deep.I feel like im screaming on the inside.And know one can hear me .I know people think I should just move on it ,My son was hit by a pickup truck why crossing the street .And I feel in my gut my son wants me to find out the truth As to why the man that hit him got away with it .Please keep me in your prayers As I bark on this journey to find out why my son's life was less important. My son Jesse was born in October 14 and he died 14 day after his birthday Oct 28,11:49 pm why walking in the crosswalk Why did the police ,think my son life was less important, than the man that killed him .

That is so kind of you to ask. He is doing very well for everything that he has been through. I actually have an interview with him on my channel. He was a guest on my Mourning Coffee podcast. ❤️
