I understand your pain. I lost my twin from a car wreack 2 months before we were supposed to graduate in 2001. I didn't get to say goodbye, I graduated by myself. I was mad at God for years, but after a few years, I got back close to God. Then, in 2015 my dad at 56 was diagnosed with pics dementia and for 8 years I became his caregiver till he died oct 18, 2022
Linda, you are a gifted writer. I think your story would help so many people that are trying to find a way to cope. The story of your personal journey, as a mum, going through the worst unimaginable thing of seeing your child suffer, knowing death is imminent, is not something easily communicated to others. You did this so well. I know Curtis would be so proud of you. Please, when the timing is right, submit your story, just as you have read/written it, to an inspirational magazine or journal for publication. Personally, I have emailed this video to myself and placed it in a folder titled, Grief>Anger & Rethinking the approach. Thank you for having the courage to share this journey that no one wants to go on. Again, I am so sorry this happened to Curtis. God Bless your family, Terry.
Unfortunately I do know your pain, my beautiful 30 year old Son died on the 1st of May so it is very raw and painful and heartbreaking. My Son was diagnosed March 2023 with MPNST Sarcoma, doctors told us from the start they couldn’t operate the tumour was 15cm by 10cm and pushing on his heart
How heartbreaking to lose your child. I wish I could give you a hug. You are doing the Lord's work through telling your story and reminding people that they are not alone in questioning God in times of crisis and sorrow. We have to trust God's plan for us, even when it seems cruel and we feel abandoned by Him. You will always have this pain in your heart and a yearning for your son. Be strong when you can and weep when you need to. Sending love ❤
First I want to tell you how sad it is for anyone much less a sweet boy like yours to have cancer or any illness. I watched a mom of two young kids die on the Nov. 5th my bday she fought for 4 years her name is Jenny Apple. I'm sure you will feel him in your thoughts and dreams. RIP Curtis
Wow what a terrible cancer your son had! I’m so sorry this happened to your family. I hope the journey ahead is a lot happier and Thankyou for sharing how terrible these rare cancers can be. X
I am sorry for your loss. Having experienced loss, still dealing with grief immensely every day, and asking God 'why' so many times myself, you have no idea the comfort I find in listening to you telling your story. I appreciate that you spoke the heart, exposing your emotions and feelings - something I struggle to do myself. Would you mind sharing the sermon you talked about (if it is on RU-vid)?
You went through a typical case where cancer is concerned. There are the many ups and downs and you had to suffer through all of them. Cancer isn’t an easy disease in any respect. You think a person is getting better and then they get worse. You had the worst outcome. It makes all of the trials seem futile and cruel that you had gone through. The many ups and downs were for naught. When you lose a child you suffer the rest of your life. I am sorry for you and your son. An illness such as his changes your life and those of everybody who cared for him.
Wow, so sad story. Luckily, I'm an agnostic person, who don't "blind" believe in "God". (However, I do think that e.g.: the 10 commandments are wise general advice by wise ancient humans... )
