Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Donna, I know what your going through on the deaths so close together and part's of a child's life is asking questions about this topic. My Son went through similar situations. He has lost many friends to Violence and wondered WHY? When he was in school. Most of his friends situations were either on the News or in the paper. Telling what happened. He keeps in contact with 3 high school friends now. Once out of High School he became buddies with a guy his age and where you seen one you would see the other. My Son was told this buddy had a Kidney Disease and would not live to be a certain age. My no fault of his buddies. He would go to the Dialysas with him each time and this one time he didn't go something happened to that machine which the lights went off at the place and when they came back on the machine went in reverse and the boy died. My son was blaming his self that he was not there to help. Not long after that my Mom passed away and he said Ma I can not handle no more death around me. Everyone I cared for has passed away and it was not their time to go. This was when talked with him. Now remember there's 10 yrs between my kids. told him look we can not predict when we will lose someone we love. This is why we have to enjoy the time we have with them. We do not need to dwell on thing's we can not change. But we need to remember the good times we had with them. This is where memories come from and why God gives us Memories. She said God takes from us to help us understand theres life and we sometimes have to lose someone to understand the meaning of life. was singing in the School Chorus at this time and was doing the song Circle of Life. So she remembered that song and told him to listen to it. also said look even though we have lost people close to us. They would not want us sad for life. They would want us to enjoy life best we can. told him Grandma and Grandpa are in a better life now Uncle's and Aunts are in a better life and those friends you have lost are in a better life. We will miss them and we have those memories to help us through it. got to talking with him and asking about funny things they did. together and he started laughing. He took that and since he can draw he drew pictures of those he had lost. Making it a beautiful picture. To this Day and my son have always gotten tighter when times were trying. It's a bond that no one can touch between them. But one thing my son will not do is go to a Funeral. He said he does not want to view the body either as he wants to remember the person as he last seen them. SO I have to go with that. He always does a picture of the one that he lost. In Memory of them Tell Matt we are thinking about him. We are sorry for his Loss. But always remember they are watching over us.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Donna, I will pray for you and for Matt. You have so many things going on with you and here is another one to deal with. You are strong that is for sure. Keep loving him and be patient with him, if he is half a strong as you are, he will pull through this it just may take a while.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Donna, my son lost several friends, but spread over a couple years time span. It took him a long time to get over it all. I can only imagine the loss Matt must be feeling at this time and the devestation and loss these families are experiencing. Personally, I would agree some counseling might be helpful during such a rough time. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

On Friday a good friend of matt's was in a car accident and did not survive. watching the heartache of the family and these kids is tough. Matt has lost 3 close friends and his great grandmother in 5 months and is overwhelmed. I am staying by his side and trying to keep him afloat. Counseling may be in order. he is so heartbroken and asking questions there really are no answers too.... strugglin in KY but hangin tough...Donna Re: and to top it all Donna, my heart goes out to you at this most difficult time.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm so sorry. I lost two sisters in car accidents in 1984 and 1986. It is shocking to lose people so suddenly, and my heart goes out to you and your husband.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Donna I am so sorry to hear of this latest tragedy. I wish I could offer some words of wisdom, but I cannot. I do agree some type of counseling would probably help not only Matt but you too. In making yourself feel stronger, you are better able to help those you love. I will keep you all in my prayers, Michele ( 20, spondy) ________________________________ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of ajaoky@...

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Tell Matt we are thinking of him and praying for him. Rob went through a similar period last year when a classmate was killed, another one was responsible, and another close friend's mother was killed in a car accident. He was very close to and idolized her, and it was such a shock. Please keep us posted on how you and your family are doing. You know I've had a soft spot for Matt ever since I spent time with him in San Diego at AJAO... Take care, and Rob 18 JAS Re: and to top it all > > > > > > > Donna, > > my heart goes out to you at this most difficult time.
