My niece (the mom) has communicated that this young man's older brother and sister are "hurting and definitely grieving deeply"! They are both working so that they can be free this coming week when family comes for his memorial service. She states that continuing to work helps by keeping them in their regular routine. But grieving and hurting they are!
The service is this Saturday, the 13th . . . please pray for this family this week.
Thank you all!

The sister (another of my niece's) of the mom spent the weekend with them. In her update emails to me she states they are getting tremendous support from people around them. They are hurting soooooo much and grieving soooo deeply. My niece (Mom) is struggling with waking up to the images of finding him.
Some family is there, other family will be coming in for his service on Saturday.
Your continued prayers are so very much coveted and appreciated!
Thank you so much!

CJ my heart is just hurting for you and your family. Prayers being sent right now. And know that there is really nothing that can be said to ease this pain. Other that handing it over to the Lord. He had to be a very troubled young man and now his mind is at rest. God Bless him. Hang in there sister, God will mend the heart.

CJ,
I am very sorry to hear about this loss in your family. A death is a difficult thing, and a suicide is so hard to deal with. You and your entire family are in my thoughts as everyone gathers to say goodbye to this young man and I am sending thoughts of comfort for his parents and brother. (((Hugs))) to you, CJ.

I cannot tell you how much your prayers mean . . . thank you so much!
My niece says they are "doing okay" and are grateful for all the support and encouragements. Family from out of town will be arriving, if they haven't already, for the memorial service tomorrow.
This is a Christian family and they are drawing on the strength of the Lord, thankful for His hand and presence.
Thank you again farmgirls!

I can't even and don't want to put myself into that mother's position. Think I need to go and hug my babies...
I'll be praying for all those grieving. May God's peace surround all. |

Thanks for all the encouragements and your prayers.
I have not communicated with anyone since the memorial service. My guess is that there is a lot going on with family from out of town and such. I'm sure that some will be returning home soon and I'll give them a few days for things from the weekend to settle down to check in again.
I'm just continuing to pray for all . . . this isn't something that will end just because the memorial service is past.
Thanks again my friend!

Oh Cj,
This is so hard. I am still praying for the whole family, for hearts to be healed and comforted and for the Lord to replace your niece's images (of seeing her son)with good memories of him.

CJ,
I just came upon this post of yours and I just want to say that I am so sorry for the pain that your entire family and friends are feeling. SO sorry for the tragic loss of your nieces son. As a mother I just can not imagine. Prayers and Hugs sent your way, and that God will continue to guide you through this extremely difficult time.
Hugs,
~Laurie

Thanks so much girls! It's been a little while since I've posted and I haven't heard anything from anyone this week, but I hope to in the next day or so.
I try to let them know we're here - caring, loving and praying. But, I also try not to enundate them with emails and questions.
Thanks so much!

Just a quick update note: I did receive an email from my niece. They are beginning the "moving on journey". She described the memorial service, the church services the next day and the family activities. She described some things she and her husband (the dad) are doing as well as the older brother and sister to cope, remember and start moving on.
Her email made me weep!!!
She talks about the pain and grief but how they are all being wrapped in love and care from family, co-workers, community members, church members . . . and the INCREDIBLE LOVE AND GRACE OF GOD!!! And there is so much hope in her words!
Thanks for your continued prayers!
