Great saddness

Yesterday my heart stopped as I read the blog of a very dear friend. She lost her oldest son. Her name is Becky (I wrote about her give away only a few days ago). I met her years ago through eBay, and although we've never met face to face, I can tell you that I count her as a wonderful and loveing friend.

This news has left me so saddened. I can't let go of it. I just can't imagine the pain and anguish and suffering that must be going on in her home. It's something that I just can't wrap my mind around. He was a healthy, handsome very young man. He was a good son and happy, so full of life.

I wept when I read the news. I wept as I fell asleep, and even now, my heart continues to weep.

There's nothing I can do for her, nothing I can say. Even to say that I'm here for her is a big joke. How can anyone ever say or do anything that will make her feel the slightest bit better. Thankfully, she, her husband, and her younger son are a wonderful and tight family. And, with even greater thanks, she and her family knows our Lord, who truly is the only one who can walk with them through this valley.

I just don't have the words to express how I terrible I feel. Please hold her and her family up in prayer.

Thank you. You spoke for all of us. I think anyone who knew Becky felt as you did. Again, thank you for putting into words.

I know how you feel, but having gone through the loss of loved ones I know that prayer does make a difference and our prayers for Becky are all we have to give. I have been praying for God to send his comfort and strength to her and her family since I heard the news. God loves Becky even more than we do and I know He will be ther for her through our prayers.

Thank you Mon and Kathleen. I know His grace can and does help. But it's comforting to be reminded.

Oh Patricia, my heart feels for that precious mother. I can't imagine anything worse than to lose a child. I certainly will be praying for her.

I didn't realize how many bloggers and others knew Becky. She lives in my hometown and not to far away from my own home. I met her once when she worked with my husband. She is doing better...from reports that I have heard.

Thank you for all your prayers.

Patricia, I just read about your friend Becky losing her son. I cannot imagine anything much worse than that. I know time has passed but I will continue to pray for her. I lost my hubby 3 1/2 years ago and I still have really sad days and I am 78. My heart aches for her
