Prayers please........family tragedy

Anyone who has a spare minute please say a prayer to keep my sister strong.   As some of you know  we lost my father a few months ago and my sister had brain surgery 4 weeks ago. Friday night her son, my nephew committed suicide. 26 year sold. We are all devastated. I know you all are outsiders so to speak but you are also my friends and if you have an extra minute................I appreciate it. Will elaborate later...Thanks guys. You are all so wonderful, which I why I came on here with this.....I know myself and my family will get extrordiary support from this great group of people. I will be back later.Love you guys..

As to why bad things keep happening, i wish I had an easy answer for that, I know it is so hard to think like this, but try to have faith that everything happens for a reason. i know that is not very comforting at the moment and I apologize. Sending tons of hugs and lots of love!

I just cannot thank you guys enough for all of the kind, supportive words. You have no idea how much it means to me and I am going to print it out for sis to read.  You all are so very incredible.  This is so very horrible. Trying my best to take care of sis (we live in a double and she and her boyfriend are on one side and I rent the other side from them). The worst part yet was this morning...........we usually meet on the back porch for coffee around 6:30 am and she didn't come out this morning. I went over to check on her and she was lying on the couch grasping Chad's (her son) favorite teddy bear from when he was little and crying uncontrollably.  OMG...........this is such a freaking nightmare.........why do these horrible things keep happening to my family?????? I wasn't going to come on here tonight because I just wanted to zombie in front of the TV and try to be distracted for awhile but I so needed support and knew you guys would be here with your well wishes to make me feel better............I was right. Again, thanks so much. Love you guys. Will be in touch............

Words can not capture the true  sorrow  over  the death of your child, nor how very sorry I am for you and your family.   Our daughter died of cancer when she was 24,  completely unexpected, she had always been in perfect health.   It is something I am not comfortable talking about in a "forum" however if there is anything I can do, please PM me and I would  welcome talking to you or your sister.  The circle of life, we do not expect to bury our children, and so few truly understand  (thank God) the  hole in your heart, that never heals.    

My heart is with you and your family, I hope for your strength and peace with one another in the coming days and weeks.      

Sincerely,  Jeanette
