I lost my Son Cody and my HAMB family needs to hear my thoughts

sorry for your loss

 

I can't add a thing to what has already been said except I'm terribly sorry. I feel your pain.

 

Having lost my beautiful baby girl @ 14 to brain cancer, I can say I feel your pain.
Will the pain ever go away? No, but it will soften with time.
You will never stop thinking of him,but you will remember all of the good times & even catch yourself smiling at times.
Hold on to your faith, your family,your friends, & your wonderful memories.
Our most heartfelt sympathies to you & your family.
Al & Carol Smith

 

our prayers go out to you and your family

 

Terrible,just terrible...Having two teenagers myself,that is my worst fear. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.Nothing will break that bond you had with him,or erase the nice memories.

 

My sincerest condolences for your loss, may the lord guide you through these trying times.

 

so sorry for your loss.stay strong for your family ,thank you for sharing this with us our prayers are with you and yours god bless ......

 

I knew I had a friend for life when I met you and Jennifer all those years ago at the Turkey Rod Run and shared a brewski or three. This shouldn't be happening to anyone, least of a good hearted soul like yourself.
Your pain must be immeasurable, my hope is is that the pain abates in the years to come and turns into fond memories, it surely must, because otherwise none of us would ever recover from tragedy.
God bless you and your family and me he keep Cody in his good graces.

 

Glenn, I don't know you or your family, but from your words I do know that it is a family that loved each other and said so.

The fact that you could write so eloquently so soon after your loss speaks volumes of the healing that is already taking place.

The young man you described would not want you and your family to withdraw, become bitter, or obsessed with your loss but would want you to live everyday to its fullest.

I am not even going to try to make sense of your tragedy but you can add one to the list of people praying for you and your family at this time of grief.

I feel your pain I lost a daughter-in-law at the age of 23 , five years ago and I still feel the pain. It is the kindness of her actions and the smile she always had on her face in the time I knew her that gets me through it when I thing of her. My son and grandson still have trouble dealing with it and all I can say is remember the good times with your son it will help a little and time will remove some of the pain. God bless you and your family.

 

Glen,
I am so very sorry to hear that. I lost a daughter 14 years ago, and I still miss her every single day. I completely understand the heartache and grief you are expirencing.

For those of you who have never had to endure this [THE] most painfull personal loss, allow me to explain it to you. It's actually quite easy to imagine how bad it hurts. We all love our children, and the very thought of loosing a child sends shock waves of terror thru your entire body... You really can "imagine" the pain of loosing a child. What you CANT imagine is how the pain stays with you. How the horrifying shock waves of grief wash over your body again and again and again. Over and over for every waking minute of your entire day,,, week,,, month,,, year,,, even for the rest of your life.

This is a pain I have endured, and still fight back every single day. Just reading this post has worked those memmories and feelings up inside me, and I'm currently wiping the tears from my eyes because of it.

Glen, your pain will never go away my friend. It will be with you from now on. And for that, I am truely sorry. There is NOTHING that anyone can say or do that will make it feel any better, and the best advice I can offer you is to take all the time you need to work it out these first few weeks. Dont take anyones bullshit,,, or even their advice. They simply do not understand.... They CANT understand.

While the pain never does go away, you eventually reach a point where you can live with it. It takes time,,, A LOT of time to reach that point. And there's nothing you can do to "reach that point" any quicker... Just one day, you wake up and take a deep breath, and say to yourself "It's time to live again..."
That is a blessed day when it finally arrives, when you enjoy a sunset, when you smile for the first time, when you laugh with an old friend without breaking into tears.

I will say a prayer for you that you see that day soon.

Please dont forget that your Wife is suffering just as bad as you are, if not even more. Your wife NEEDS you. She needs you bad. No matter how much it hurts, please, please stand by her side. Love her. Support her. Just be a shoulder for her to cry on. But whatever you do, dont withdraw from her no matter how much your gut tells you to. If you support her now, she will re-pay the favor to you 10-fold in the future. How do I know this??? Ask me about my divorce

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I understand how painfull and confused life is right now, but if you find anything in my words that strikes a cord with you, and you wish to talk, please E-mail me a phone number.

Glenn -

Its all been said by the others, so I'll just add my deepest condolences. I have two sons who are just starting families and can only imagine your sadness.

You've been a special friend to the HAMB, and I'm certain every one of us who has crossed your path over the years has you in their prayers.

I pray that your family has a strong faith and ask God to give you and your family the comfort and healing only HE can bring.

 

My heart and prayers go out to you and I wish you peace. I lost my oldest son at the age of 28 eight years ago, and I still think about him every day. I can only offer my own experience, and I've learned that the best healer is the passing of time. I hope the future offers you the serenity and solace that the best memories of your son can bring. Please accept my condolences.

 

I am so sorry for the loss of your son.I dont have a son but i do have a 13 year old daughter and i dont know what i would do if i lost her.I lost my dad a year ago and my only brother 12 years ago and i am only 34 now, so i understand what your dealing with right now...

 

My prayers are with you

 

No parent should ever have to live through this. I'm very sorry for your lose.

 

Stay strong for yourself and your family. My condolences.
My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you.

Malcolm

Sorry for your loss.
I pray God eases your pain.

 

My heart grieves for your loss. I am so saddened. My family will pray that the Creator will comfort you and yours and that you will find your comfort in Hiis arms. Remember, death isn't the end, it is the beginning.

 

My heart goes out to you and your family.

Sam.

I can't even fathom the pain of the loss of your son Cody, Its a hurt no one could know unless they've been there. I'm praying God sends comfort to you.
