I'd say this thread has made Med Help history, never seen one do what this just did. Over 200 post. I hope it continues to be saved, all of it, no matter how many.

Elaine your making incredible sense ....amazingly so for what your going through. As always, you amaze me.
Nooooobody is giving up on Nick here. It can happen Elaine, look at the prayer, unity going on here...it can happen.

Thanks so much for your continued updates. It's the first thing many of us are checking every morning and the last thing before bed.

Prayers, strength and love to you both today

To: Elaine and Nick

I am totally moved to tears and prayer as everyone else -

I too have a son about Nicks age and live in Ca and he is the love of my life.I have always been so sick and have always thought how hard it would be on him If something happened to him - I never really thought of it the other way around until now.

I had HCV from a transfusion before he was born and he has been sick alot lately but has not been tested (that I know of) Instead he traveles the world. Worries me sometimes because...I know that as I went through tx he did not want to stress me at all. I pray he would tell me.

I very rarely share this story but it seems relavant now - I died once in a very bad horse accident - I bleed to death - was pretty mangled - had very low chance of surviving. As all the doctors frantically worked on me - it happened - my heart stopped and I actually rose above my body and saw them below me. As they filled my veins with blood and zapped my heart - I started to came back - but they said i yelled "No" four times - like I did not want to return...I remember the incredible peace - that there were no walls and I could see forever and I finally knew everything I had ever had a question about. It was peace and comfort beyond belief...but I saw my mother sobbing she had her hands on the glass window as I look down from my perch above - she reached in and grabed me and brought me back. I went into a comma for several weeks after but eventually recovered ....... now I have reached out my hand to my mother as she desperately trys to recover from 2 sudden massive strokes.

We are humbled by the unconditional love and bond between mother and child and it does seem to always linger and nurture us as we wait to reunite on the other side if God were to call one of us first.

Never give up hope - I was suppose to die 3 times now and am still here fighting like a banshie - but if and when God calls for Nick please be at peace knowing he will be in great hands always looking over you until you are together again.

I lost my step son when he was 15 - we still visit now and then as well as so many other friends and family that have moved on.

Hold tight to your faith - I'm sending up a very special pray for Nick and for You Elaine. God bless you Both and give you the strength and understanding that you will need for this journey.

All my love,

Michelle (Mikmo)

I check this first thing in the morning and last thing I do at night. I can't always comment, I just sit here in front of the computer, trying to take it all in. So much to absorb, I don't know how you're doing it.
I continue to pray, and I'm proud of you for continuing to urge Nick on and not giving in to any suggestion of giving up.
Nick is in God's hands, and as long as he continues to fight, I know you will continue to fight for him.
I've spent the week with a family we've known for nearly 20 yrs. They lost their son last weekend, and the funeral was Fri. They would have done everything they could have to save him, but they didn't get the chance.
I'm a little shell-shocked with all that has gone on here, and all that is going on there.
If it's this surreal for me, what must it be like to be in your shoes. Are you getting any rest?
I wish there was some way to make this fight easier, but I know you are the best person to be in this position. You've spent a lifetime fighting for your son, and you will continue to do so. You are awesome!!!!
FHL,

I also check the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night before bed.

I like to write and tell stories, but I am not good at dealing with problems. I do want you to know that I think about you and Nick always and continue to hope for the best outcome possible for you both. You are both very brave people and you deserve the best.

Dear Elaine,

I'm so glad to see that you are still on the forum... Even though Nick's condition is about the same, you "sound" better! (... at least it seems that way when I read your posts...) Maybe you've been resting better these past few days... Is your family still here with you? I'm also glad to see that you haven't taken down the photo of Nick and you! Please leave it up indefinitely, if you can...

I'm still thinking about you both constantly and sending my prayers your way...

I am so sorry, Elaine....I was so hoping right til the very last moment.  Nick fought so courageously as did you at his side every step of the way.

For every moment of that wonderful young man's life, he has had the best that life could give him because he had you for his mother, Elaine.  My heart is utterly breaking and I wish I could take your pain away....however, I know that great pain comes from great love .. and what you and Nick shared was incomparably beautiful beyond anyone's understanding.  When you feel pain and sorrow...it's because of the depths of your love for your son.

I too will light a candle in Nick's honour today, Elaine and will keep the flame going.

Gathering you up in my heart and in my arms, Elaine.  My heart weeps today.

Keeping you in my thoughts and my hear.  Love you much.

My love - to you. I am so very sorry Elaine.

When you are ready - we need you here. So please - never go away.

Please know you are a light in the dark and the very best mother that a child could have hoped to had.

You are an amazing woman Elaine - may you find peace in the turmoil that is yet to come. And know - you have done more than anyone else could possibly have done.

You and Nick have united this community and given selflessly to us all.
Thank you for touching our lives.

Nick walked through the storm, into the light. He is beyond the world of suffering, he is at peace.

I wish for arms as large as the ocean to hold you and for my lips to whisper in your ears "this too shall pass".

Peace be with you.

Elaine,

I can not even type what i want to say to you, i hope this may give you some peace.

I'M FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God has chosen for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I've now found peace at the end of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Oh yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
Don't lengthen your pain with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and peace to thee,
God wanted me now-He set me free
Author: Shannon Lee Moseley.

May god help you through your grief! I am so so sorry!

Love Rita

I was away for 5 days and never stopped thinking of you and Nick. I'm so sorry things have not gotten much better, but where there is life, there is hope. You must be exhausted, I hope you are taking care of yourself through this, as hard as it is, you have to think of yourself also. My heart goes out to you, Elaine.

There are no words of comfort that I can give you at this time. As a mother, my heart aches for...but no one had a better, wiser more loving mother than Nick does. You are his mom forever. What an amazing example you have shown for all of us in the face of true challenge. Both Brent and I pray for you to find peace in the kind words and good thoughts that are coming your way from all around the world.
We will continue our prayers for you.
Love,

I'm so sorry...May not only he, but you now be at peace as well...to see a loved one tormented and struggling, is torment in itself...I too, have lit a candle and my daughter and has released a Scooby Doo balloon in his memory...She says they make everybody happy, and perhaps it will find him in heaven, and let him know he will be missed...

To: Elaine

When I come to the end of the road
  And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
  Why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little but not too long and
  not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we shared.
   Miss me..... but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
  and each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
  A step on the road to go home.
When your heart is heavy and your missing me,
  go to the friends that we know.
     Miss me....but let me go.

Dear Elaine, my deepest sympathy to you and your family in such a loss.
I can not begin to know how you feel, I am so very sorry. You did everything in your power for Nick, comforted, cared for, loved him as deep as anyone could. I know I can say he's in a better place, but I know how you wish he was here.
  Please....do what you need to for you, we are all here and we all understand.

I pray for your heart to heal, Lauri

To: Elaine and Nick

Nick, an angel on earth,
a miracle so brave.
Nick was always like his Mom,
He took less than he gave.

And though his life is over,
his memory lives on.
He was an inspiration,
Though he wasn't here for long.

And though I never met him,
I love the one who held him close
The one who held his hand all night,
The one he loved the most.

Though the skies are stormy now,
The sun will shine, the clouds will part
Elaine will keep a part of Nick
A rainbow in her heart.....

There are no words I could offer to ease your pain.  I know I can't understand the pain you feel.
From personal experience I can tell you that your life will never be the same as before.  I can tell you that only time will dull what you feel now.  In time you will learn to live with your loss.
It seems to me when we lose someone we love our world grows a little colder.
I hope you find peace.

Hi Elaine, I just wanted to check up on you and make sure you are dealing with all this; it must be very difficult to cope rght now. I also believe that time does quiet the pain to some extent, but this event will probably change you for a lifetime. Remember that they can't take your love for your son away... that's yours to keep for eternity. Please know we're all thinking about you, and let us know how things are going with you when it's appropriate.

Please take care of yourself--

Dearest Elaine,
Although I am fairly new to this group, and have not been aware of Nicks entire situation, I have been reading these heartfelt condolences with tears streaming down my face. I am so sorry for your terrible loss. Look back upon these posts of love and encouragement and know in this way, you are blessed with the love of friendship and the comfort of so many, who truly care.

I too have lit a candle for your dear Nick....who has started a new journey...and I believe if he could, he would tell us all, not to worry for him, for he is in a glorious place with out pain or strife and now knows the promise of eternal life and peace is true...He now knows we never leave our loved ones, we simply change...he will always be just a whisper away, a warm breeze through the trees, a rose blooming in spring, each heart beat you take is Nick saying, I love you mom, I am here, be strong and we will be together again.

I do not know what to say. I have dreaded checking the post for fear of such news, and procrastinated comment in bewilderment of what to say. I wish I could be there to comfort you. You and Nick have been wonderful examples of courage and love. May God comfort you and fill you with joyous memories of Nick, and the love you will always share.

I lack Ladybug's poetic talent, but here is a favorite comfort for me:

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
  Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
  Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell.
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

   - Alfred Tennyson

                                     God saw he was getting tired
                                     and cure  was not be
                                     So he puts his arms around him
                                     and whispered,"Come with me."

                                     With tear-field eyes we watched him
                                     suffer and faid away
                                     although we loved him deeply
                                     we could not make him stay

                                     A golden heart stopped beating,
                                     his body put to rest,
                                     God broke our hearts to prove to us
                                     he only take the best

Elaine,

I don't know that there is any way we could have loved you and Nick any more - well let me speak for me personally - I have loved the two of you like my own family and I think this pain I feel comes from that place. I don't understand why God calls some of the most special people home to be with him, I don't. And maybe I never will. I trust that there is a reason, but it is beyond my comprehension and it doesn't assuage the pain. I continue to be here for you, and please let me know what I can do to help.

Love,

Sydney
