I never lost my faith, but I too questioned god a few times. My parents both died on the same day 8 years apart..both very tragically, homicide and suicide..and my son passed away when he was 16 months old from RSV. I always felt things happened for a reason, but what in the world was the reason for all of these things...Im still trying to find that out. I have 5 living children so I do my best to work through it, but its hard, very hard. I know, that one day my questions will have answers, but waiting for them is the hard part.

Mommy...
Once again, I am very sorry for your lost...I can not tell you how much I appreciate that you're being such a strong person to share your pain...I feel like I got to know many of you today by sharing experiences, part of our lives together...Saying goodbye to someone  that we feel connected to is without a question, devastating... It is hard to imagine our lives without them, and yet sometimes we have no choice, but to go on. There is an old saying from where I came from that even if you bite 10 fingers, they all hurt the very same...no matter how many children we may have, we love them equally... what I am trying to say is that I know that even though you have five kids but the one you lost is still with you every minutes of your life...If it makes easier MommyMachine,  know that for however long you will be separated you will always be in each others hearts...until the day you meet again...thanks for sharing.

What Dreams may come, a great movie with Robin Williams, it answers a lot of questions.  If and when you ever loose someone, that even the word love, is not enough to explain how you felt about them. Then you will search and wonder where are they, are they ok, where did they go.  I did that with my brother who I more than just loved. He died a John Doe with a tag on his toe for 2 wks. Until they ran his finger prints and found that he served in the Navy and then finally found me. He died in a car accident and when the car impacted at over a hundred miles, no he was not speeding the highway patrol said the impact was hundred miles an hr due to each vehicle was going about 50 to 60 miles per hr the patrol officer said you add the two and get the rate of impact. Everything in the car including his license registration etc flew out and was not found at the time of the accident. I drove to a place called Gila Bend in Arizona (where the accident occured) and found his id in the tumbleweeds alongside the road. That was 2 wks later, he had his dog in the car he survived. The paramedics said a dog ran out of the desert to the car where my brother was hanging out the passenger window and his dog layed down like a lion right by him and growled at the paramedics then they figured out this dog was in this car. They landed 2 flight life helicopters but he died at the scene.

My then-fiance-now-husband Bruce was diagnosed w/ renal cancer in September 2007, we found out on my birthday.  We had just found each other 3 years prior after both thinking we'd never find someone w/ whom 2 spend our lives.  I remember my 1st reaction was 2 lash out @ God & ask Him why He would do such a thing after I had FINALLY found my soul-mate.  However, I quickly realized that I HAD 2 b strong.  Bruce is very 'tough-guy,' & never showed any fear.  I'm sure he felt it, he just kept it all inside so as not 2 upset me.  I also remember very clearly realizing how life just kept moving 4ward, & I wanted 2 SCREAM @ the world HEY, MY FIANCE HAS CANCER!!!!!!!!!  Bruce had his kidney removed in a newly-pioneered technique through his belly button, here @ the Cleveland Clinic.  As the surgeon put it 2 us @ his 6-week check up:  "No more kidney, no more cancer."  Bruce has been healthy ever since.  The experience changed me; God presents us w/ challenges & bumps in the road.  But I deeply believe that everything happens 4 a reason.  This horrible, scary bump in the road truly made me realize how very lucky I am.  I no longer get upset over anything; life is 2 precious & 2 brief. My faith has never been stronger; not a day goes by that I don't thank God 4 bringing us thru what could have had a completely different ending.

Oh my...... u have my deepest & sincerest sympathies Mommy.  Ya know, I think we all 4get sometimes that none of us truly knows what others have gone thru in their lives.  We go about our days thinking only of ourselves & our problems; I'm guilty of it 2.  But then I c stories like your's, and honest-2-God it gives me strength.  Nothing any1 says can take away your pain; but I do so very much believe that God has a plan.  We may not understand it, or even like it, but I trust that u will find the answers u seek 1 day.  Perhaps not in this life, but u will.  May God bless u.....

I have never really lost my faith, but I have questioned God a few times. When my Dad died(he was my best friend and my mentor) I couldn't understand why him. The most important person in my life? He suffered and I couldn't let go of him so he finally had to let go of me. It was a long time before I found my answer and was able to accept it and move on. The second time was when my beautiful little granddaughter lived only 10 days and God took her to be with him. My son was so devastated as was his wife and it was horrible to watch their pain.But I knew she was such a special little angel in every way, and at least we got to know her, love her and be with her even if the time was brief. I am one of those that believe things happen for a reason. After lots of soul searching, and praying I usually find my answer, in my own way, in my own time.

Oh,Deb.........
I am so sorry to hear about your granddaughter...it breaks my heart to even hear about it...how can you bear of losing your child...I can only imagine what you must went through especially watching your son suffered so much...
I can only tell you what I believe... I know she is now with her maker and she is so special that God needed her sooner to  stand beside him... I too believe everything happens for reasons...God has plans and places for every one of us...
I know that she may be out of sight but she is and will always be in your heart in every second...still lives with all her family.
Thank you for sharing,Deb!!!
Thanks wnanhee , that truly is what I also believe. She fought really hard to survive but God wanted her and he took her.My daughter-in-law struggles still to deal with the loss and I can understand but thankfully I  can't say I truly know the pain she feels, I never lost a child.
