It's so easy to say things like, "God needed another angel" since God didn't choose yours. It's easy to say, "You need to get up and move forward in life following the loss of your child" -- UNTIL that loss becomes your loss, and then we find it almost impossible to move. It's easy to say, "There is a purpose for God taking your child" -- UNTIL that child becomes our child. It's easy to give advice, to tell others how they should feel, and to criticize when others grieve too long according to our standards -- UNTIL the child that has left this earth is our child. When child loss occurs, nothing makes sense at all. Our world is shattered, and we are left feeling helpless. We have no words -- only tears.
God knows that same pain, Jesus was His son. Jesus gave his earthly life up for us. I will pray for you. He knows. Leaning on Him is the right thing to do. Hugs!
