I am John Thompson, one of the fathers of the three families in this video. My wife and I know the hurt you have gone thru and am sure, still going thru. The anger will lessen, the questioning will not be the prominent everyday day in your waking period and you will again be able to speak about your loss because you need to speak about your son or daughter. It will help you heal. People I am close to now, I will tell them about Tony's suicide and the belief I have about the reasoning, even though I don't have a true understanding. I only hope it may prevent another parent missing the opportunity to talk to their child. Parents, it will hurt for the rest of your life, but each day gets better, your anger will fall away, you will start to meet people again and you will love people a little differently. Thank you for heart felt emotions. The other two families are special in our lives. John and MJ

John, My wife and I just lost our 20 year old son, Eric, 5 weeks ago to suicide on August 22nd, 2016. This truly has been a nightmare. We are in counselling, but it only goes so far. We don't know anyone locally we can speak to who understands our grief. I would give anything to have the opportunity to speak in a group setting, with people who understand. Talking about this is the only thing that helps, but most people shy away and don't want to hear it. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you, if you wouldn't mind.

Thanks for your wisdom and generosity. Did the other two couples lose their kids through suicide as well? Did this tragedy come as a complete shock or did your son struggle with depression? You should feel free, if comfortable, to share all the great things/memories about your son on this site anytime it feels therapeutic. Good luck with your journey!

Brian and John, My heart is breaking for you two--and EVERYONE ELSE on this page. All of us here share a bond that we wish we could break. My husband and I lost our 24 year old son to suicide 5 days after Thanksgiving 2016. Worst day of our lives!!! To survive, I have literally had to block out that day from my memory. I cannot bear to remember the black police SUV in our driveway. I still privately curse at the sheriff who brought us the news, though he was only doing his job. The only consolation I have had is spending time talking about our tragedy with two separate friends who have also lost an older child---one to suicide, like us. I agree with you that I would give anything to have an opportunity to speak as part of a group about this. Only those who have gone through this horrific experience can truly understand. People at our church have truly cared for us during this awful time but they cannot truly understand the pain. Please feel free to speak and share with me for support, if you need to. My name is Geri.

​@@fowlkeskmI'm so very sorry. We've lost 2 son's, both were sudden and tragic. The second son we lost was like a nightmare, as his passing was almost to the day his baby brother passed. You're correct, you're stuck and that is okay. Grief is complicated especially for those whom have lost a child. Wondering how you'll get past it, the answer is we don't. ❤ We learn to (over time, it is a painful process) live with it. The first year after our loss, is called the year of firsts. The holidays, your son's bday, mother and fathers days, etc..... those seem to be the worst. Lean heavily on faith and if inclined, other's whom you trust. This is your pain and you grieve however you choose. In our case, our family didn't know what to do, so they avoided us. We spent Christmas Eve at a funeral home with other grieving people, the funeral home had a candle light celebration of life for all who had no one to share their pain with. If you have a Pastor or Clergy, perhaps speak with them, when your ready. There are grief groups on social media as well, again, when your ready. God Bless You and your family in this very painful time. 💔 There are many of us out here, too many, imo. Just know we care.❤

I have lost three children, one son to cancer, one son to addiction and my daughter, soon after birth..the death of a child defines you..for how could it not..I remember in the early days after my first darling child died, trying to make myself brush my hair and the only way I could, was to brush the front and not care about the back or sides..of being in the supermarket suddenly overwhelmed and just walking out leaving behind a laden cart somewhere in one of the aisles..on and on it goes...x

We lost our only child seven years ago. Car accident. She was sixteen. I felt like I wanted to peel my skin off so I could be someone else...someone whose daughter was still alive. She had a difficult childhood, suffering from Aspergers and loneliness. I blame myself for everything. Her father and I are still married. He’s the only one in the world who knows what’s it’s like to lose our daughter. I long for the day I get to see her again, smiling and laughing. Forever and ever my baby.

@@jamiMB Hi Jamileh - First, I am so sorry for your loss. What has happened in the last year. I had to plan services alone and worry about the mental health of my other two sons. I thought I saw my son in town a few times. Because I never got the chance to view his body after, I feel no closure. So many questions unanswered. I go through sadness, anger and wishing I had one more chance to save him. Working from home these last few months has left me thinking about him more and sliding into a depression. No one understands in my family because we have never lost a family member outside of age. I tried counseling for about 3 months after it happened. I didn't connect with the counselor too well and stopped. The sudden wave of grief, crying jags and over eating are starting up again and I think I must try and find someone to talk to. I thought of starting an online group since we are all locked up indoors, but I haven't been able to find a proctor who specializes in this field.

Seventeen months ago my beautiful son 44 years of age, was brutally murdered, while siting in his car, by himself. He was a Desert Storm Veteran who was awarded 3 bronze stars and the medal of valor. He was not only my and his step fathers son, he was our best friend. I still can't seem to believe he is gone. He did not want to die, he was brutally murdered, being shot twelve times at close range. How do you survive this. I am 66 years old and my husband and I went looking for the killer. Eight months ago they did get a warrant for first degree murder for the person who killed my son. But they cannot find him. My heart and my husbands is so empty without him. He is here every where in this house. How do you live through this. It has been. It has been 17 months now, and it still feels like I am so damaged. Sometimes I feel he will still come home and walk through my door. We actually did dangerous things looking for the killer. I just hears you say you need a soft place to fall I wish I could find that soft spot. God Bless all of you..

Look, You're going to feel that way for 5 years. The first year is the worst only followed by the second. Because now there are new higher numbers ahead of the years and it feels wrong bc your world has stopped but the rest of the world hasn't and that's wrong and it angers you. And that's ok. I've lived on anger for years. If you could find a way not to, I suggest you you do. If not, well we just keep it close. The years will come and go and piss you off as you miss them so much, that you are so empty that you rattle when you walk. I do. The next years passing are better and then you reach the 10 year mark. I have a son whom I adore but my daughter was my soulmate. Losing her broke me. It's been 12 years. I still cry. I'm still empty and I still rattle when I walk. But I'm used to not seeing her. I've spent more years now without her than with her which I don't want to even get into. Look there is no moving on!!! There's only moving. I will remember your children. Please remember mine. Her name was Elizabeth and she was grand.

The kid hadn't cleared his windshield and was using the defroster, windshield wipers and wind shield cleaner. He ad the size of man's wallet to see out of so he didn't see Kyle and just.inihilated him . He lived on.life support 3 days and then they let him go. I didn't believe I have almost made it 5 years. I thought I would surely die from a broken heart. I tried to kill my self 2 times but I messed that up too. I have no one who needs me so I actually pray to die. you.will make it through this but it takes a very happy time. Thake care.

I have buried two sons. My first born, Kyle was born 5/10/1980 and passed away 7/29/1980 from SIDS. I was 21 years old, this led to a number of bad choices by me. I self medicated for many years. I feel tremendous guilt daily as I was a poor example for my second son. My second son, Lucas was 23 years old and died of a heroin overdose when I was 45 years old. The pain of burying my sons is at times unbearable even after all the years have past. I'm 62 now clean and sober and working in an opioid treatment center helping people kick heroin. It fills a place in my heart that feels like I let my second son down.

My grief will always be there , but it no longer control's me as it did. For those people out there who wonder what its like to loose a child, no explanation can be given ,for those of us who have lost a child, no explanation is needed .

I notice the timelines; 'one year ago', 'three months ago' etc... and realize that makes no difference. The same inner pain remains. The 'shock' may dissipate physically, but mourning does not. Some part of healing is remembering what gave true joy to that life of theirs that you were briefly invited into. Re~live that. That Life never ends.

@@gloriawilliams1030 it’s been almost 9 years ago now, and it still hurts. I’m going to a Memorial service today for a friend that lost her son just last week. He was the same age as my son was when he passed, just 44 years old. Thank you so much for your compassion.

I lost my son at 25 just five years ago. This I know, the deepest abyss of pain and grief the human spirit can endure, is the death of your child. With this death I would have died for him.

So sorry for your loss. I am crying while replying. I lost my 24 year old son exactly 60 days ago. I was told I will feel less pain by the time. But it is getting worse. Living in a strange country far from my home country. Staying at home because of Coronavirus Lockdow. Even friends can't come and visit us. I grieve with my husband and my 2 other adult children. It feels as I am in the grave. Still I can't believe it. I am not sure will be able to cope with this loss. He was so kind decent and genious. Today I was so scared of the world and the creator of this world. Why we are suffering like that??

jamileh minaeibagha I truly understand your pain. I needed counseling by my Catholic priest who knows more about death dying and suffering than any doctor there is. Forget about grief counselors you come out feeling worse. For me now it’s been six years and with this lockdown my mind is not in a good place because it seems like yesterday. If not for my faith I’d be dead. I don’t know if you believe in God but I’ll tell you what my Catholic priest told me. He said “This is your walk from Gethsemane to Calvary as Jesus walked suffering as much as he did. Keep the faith and may Jesus grant you the grace to walk the walk courageously that your faith and trust in him may not waiver. Just do the best you can so that when you stand before God and he asks you...”What did you do with the son I gave you?” You May confidently defend your case. Do not lose hope you will see him again.” He also added God knows from the seed in our mothers womb when you will be born and when you will die. Our children are only lent to us. Something to love because God is Love, he lends us. To see how we treat them. We are all here on a journey for this is not our home. Sometimes God takes you in order at that moment to save your soul or the soul in ones family. It all made sense to me. God doesn’t cause suffering. MAN and Free Will does, although God allows it for a purpose you will know when you reunite with your son. Your in my prayers. Sounds like my son always happy A student college we never yelled at each other best kid around. Smart as anything. And funny. I am not young anymore I don’t want to hang around here either. Hopefully my time comes soon. As Catholics we accept all given to us because if faith. And I also have another son and he has a family far away...:(

I have lost my only son mark to drug over dose. I did all I could to help him but it didn't work. My heart is broken 💔 and I need God's help and intervention to help me get through this 🙏 thanks for caring and sharing ❤️ God bless you all as we walk through this pain together 😢

Thank u Jesus for all things ..I ask for peace that surpasses all in the lives of parents who lost a child.. In Jesus Name i Pray Amen

I'm not a actual father, but this child was like my son, he called me dad, he'd tell me he loved me, and everything. But he was never actually mine and my boyfriends son. We intended to adopt Asher once once of use was old enough but it happened to suddenly. He was shot suddenly while playing at church under the eye of my boyfriend and it was a month ago. He made it to the hospital alive and soon woke up and was doing wonderful and everything but it was just so sudden. Asher died just yesterday so suddenly and it took such a tole on me and my boyfriends relationship. It's been more difficult to talk to each other and everything has been so difficult already. I wish it were me that were shot instead, not him. He was such a sweet and innocent child as well and I miss him so so much. If only I had been to one shot then maybe Asher would still be here with me and him and we'd still be able to be a family together. I miss you so much Asher, and I love you so much Asher. Please, rest easy now.

I lost my son james to cancer October 8th 2016, he was 30years old, he lived with me all his life. I will never get over what I had to watch my son go through I can't get the images out of my mind, he died in my arms in my bed. He suffered so much I was almost begging god to take him, I'm getting on with things because that's what you do, my other 2 son's need me, I'm a single parent and brought my son's up myself, we were best friends. I hung on to him for as long as I could because I couldn't bare the thought of not having him, I don't know how to describe how I feel, but I do know that there is no pain like it. He almost died when he was 16, he was beaten up and left in a coma he had to learn to do everything again, walk talk etc, but he pulled through only to get cancer at 26, I don't think he was for this world and I'm grateful for the 30 yrs God lent him to me for. God bless you all who have lost your children I hope you find peace, xo

When my mother died, I went to see her in the ICU room where she still lay. My knees buckled involuntarily soon as I entered. The shock was so great. This happened for my daughter too. I could not be with her. She died on the East Coast in a cancer hospital and we did not know she had relapsed. She never told us. So the shock was very big. There are no words to say how you feel. You know. And those who have been there, also know. The only thing that helps is being in solidarity with others who undergo the same,. I am so very sorry for your beautiful son, Daniel's loss.

From experience of losing a child and just this past week a second one...the best help in the past was networking and supporting others who had similar losses. I would have not made it without such a group. Long before I lost my youngest daughter I helped a grieving Mom start a group for parents of stillborn and SIDS babies. It seems time to act because we need each other.

Jesus loves you! The greatest thing I can do right now is to share my best friend's story with you. Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** Tribute to Ethan Lakey kzread.info/dash/bejne/d5yjxMWKipm3kps.html

How are you doing now? My son took his life in 2016 and I was playing things over and over and it was making me ill. I was diagnosed a year later with complicated grief and PTSD and once I received treatment it helped me so much. I hope your doing much better.

This was very comforting for me to hear. I have no one to hear my grieving and facing the death of my child alone. She was only 37 and died from cancer in January this year. She died away from her family and we were in such shock to find out. I felt like a rag soaking in a can of pain. I felt swollen with pain. I could not function or even cry hard enough without my breathing blocking my sobs. I felt stung by a scorpion. The deafness of others, the trite meaningless words you have to endure from others while your mind is howling with grief and sorrow swirls around your heart like a yellow fog shutting out all the light. The anger, the guilt, the shame, the sorrow, the losing of all hope, its such a toxic mix. You feel Death riding on your shoulder the whole way mocking you. You want to blot out the sun for shining and strangle the birds for singing. And you want to curl up and die. Numb. No one understands your pain except the other person who fell out of the plane too and is free falling alongside you. Just like the video says. They are the only ones who get it. They just hold your hand and say nothing. There is nothing to say. You lost your life's work, all you built, nurtured, fed, taught, laughed with, bathed, sang to, healed from sickness, financed, accompanied everywhere, and loved madly - all gone in one stroke of the clock - vanished forever. The clock that brought them in, and took them out. That clock. That clock is the only thing that will heal you in the end. Time.

" I felt like a rag soaking in a can of pain. I felt swollen with pain… And you want to curl up and die. Numb.” Good description. My only son passed away from an aggressive colon cancer that spread to his liver and blocked his colon, emaciated his 45 year old healthy body into a severely malnourished state & died just 6 weeks after he was diagnosed. We didn’t understand (nor did his doctors) how critical it was for him to get a feeding tube, IV, other source of nutrients into his bloodstream. They inserted a stent around the tumor that was blocking his colon before releasing him, and sent him home with no nutritional guidance other than “whatever he wants & can keep down, he just needs to gain weight!” We tried that, got him his favorite pizza, made him all his childhood favorites, but in spite of our efforts he could keep very little down, his esophagus so burned and blistered from all the vomiting even drinking water was painful, which only added to his high pain level from the CRC and continued losing weight at home. The day I left to return home (for the next crew of family to care for him) he was re-admitted to the hospital. I was hopeful they might getting a feeding tube in him and save his life, but they discovered the stent had broken through the colon wall into his abdominal cavity. There was nothing further that could be done. He died on Easter Sunday. I’m just numb, like you said, A rag soaking in a can of pain. The only times I’m at peace is when I’m sleeping and I've been doing a lot of that.

I lost my beautiful daughter to a botched weight loss surgery on November 6, 2021. She fought a long, hard battle but never got better. I will miss her forever and have so many regrets. I loved her just the way she was but thought I would be helping her by getting this surgery done for her. I was so wrong. I thought I had researched it so much. Wrong. She was only 40 years old when she passed. She was my only child and had no children. She loved kids and wanted them so badly but was unable to have them. Hug your child close. You never know when they won't be there again. I'd sell my soul for another chance with her.

That’s the narrative we’d like to believe... But life doesn’t listen to our rule book of “shoulds or shouldn’ts” It forces us to look at the reality of anything can happen, whether we think it should or not. Life has its rules & we have our idealized wishes. They rarely match up.

I lost my only beloved son Melvin Gilbert on 18.8.2000 by an bike accident. Really it was very terrible for us. We lost our hope, confidence, strength. He is our prince. Now my house is empty and darkness. Because my star left me soon. He is just 20 only. My handsome young man you gone to soon. Without you for us no life. So save me a place for us.

Lost my son to diabetes 11 months ago. Still looking for answers to unanswerable questions. I miss him everyday. This video was so helpful in dealing with the feelings of loss, longing and guilt. Beautiful.

We lost our daughter peacefully, expectantly. God gave us 35 years with her. We were truly blessed but we will miss her forever. The pain is real, mental physical and spiritual. I cannot imagine the additional pain of losing a child senselessly. Bless you all. I hope we can all find the peace to move forward thru the pain until we see them again.

Only Jesus can bring true peace.Jesus loves you! I'd like to share my best friend's story with you. Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** Tribute to Ethan Lakey kzread.info/dash/bejne/d5yjxMWKipm3kps.html

I would also like to thank these families for sharing their stories and heartache. I just lost my 18 year old daughter in a car accident on May 11, 2015. Two weeks from graduation. I think i'm still in shock most of the time. Now that things have quieted down, it's actually worse to try and cope. I hate driving in the car, too much idle time and all I do is think and remember and cry. Can't listen to the radio. Everywhere I look I see her things, songs I hear, smells... all remembrances of what my life was like just a few short weeks ago. Hearing these families feeling the same way I have been is so helpful and I know I'm not alone. I will be watching these videos regularly and seeking out all remedies to deal with this grief. Please say prayers for us - all of us who have lost a child. It's truly the worst pain a parent can experience.

+Dawn King God's Blessing to You Dawn. We lost our adult son May 18, 2015 and it still doesn't seem real to me. His name is Trent and had lived with us the last 5 years. I keep expecting him to walk in the door and say 'hey mom...how u doing?'. We do have a daughter that moved out of our state at the age of 19 and never has lived closer than 1100 miles to us. She had taken Trent out of her life several years ago and when she came here after he died, she didn't want his name mentioned when she was around. How heartless...but I didn't say anything. Now she sent me an email 2 days ago and said all we do is grieve for a dead person and act like we don't care what is going on in her life. I have called her every few days for all the years she has been away. With all this happening to us I don't know what or where our lives will be going. The pain, the sobbing until I feel like I can't breath is almost more than I can bear. There are many days that I feel God does not hear my prayers...or maybe it is because I am in denial that Trent is actually gone. Please know that I am saying prayers to you.

Jesus loves you! The greatest thing I can do right now is to share my best friend's story with you. Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** Tribute to Ethan Lakey kzread.info/dash/bejne/d5yjxMWKipm3kps.html

I lost a son 43 yrs ago and I still have times with my grief still.

Can't believe the physical pain. It's been one month since I lost my darling boy (age 55). I can't sleep, feel like I have been punched into the stomach, and night, after the distractions of the day, I go "Oh No, Oh No. He is not here. and to find out how much he was loved and missed (worked in a prison in OK) and the inmates are in despair at the loss of him . One inmate said, Love changes people." He poured love into the lives of others. He was my link to the outside world. I don't have anyone home with me so I see all of this alone. After the whirl of the funeral (In his case three memorial services) I am alone with acute, unending pain.

Have you ever considered praying to God, pouring your heart out to Him? Mankind was never suppose to die, that is why death is a sting, a horrible pain the no one, especially a parent should feel. The Bible gives all humans living hope, that death will be removed forever (Rev. 21:3, 4) and the hope of seeing our loved one again (John 5:28, 29). I hope this will bring you comfort.

For those who have suffered loss, you have my heart and prayers. Please understand when friends don't bring up your child's name, they do it because they don't want to put you through any pain. Morning and loss comes isn't a constant. There are times when we can escape from it for a while and then it comes back and you're so battered and bruised you want the world to stop. If you want your friends to say your child's name, please let them know. They are not wanting you to close the door on the past. They just don't want to cause you more pain.

Wow, these stories are spot on. It's been 11 years since I lost my only child, my beloved Julien. I remember that when the police came to my house the next day at 12 in the afternoon and we'd reported that he was missing when he didn't come home or even go to school as his best friend told me. Like the first lady, my response too was to run into Julien's room shrieking like never before as four cops held me down - since it's almost like they knew my next move was going for the front door to run into traffic - so they called an ambulance. My husband said that I almost didn't sound "human" - as my very soul was screaming for him after the police told me - after they'd asked for his dental records to confirm it was him - that he'd been struck by a train. And it was so strange because he was always such a happy kid - half of me didn't - just couldn't believe that it was true. We were SO close - he was my everything. Now I am being told that my 13 year old Son is gone forever - and in such a horrible and violent way. They hauled me away like I mentioned before - and shot me up with haloperidol once I was in the hospital. They let me out the next day under the supervision of my husband at the time. It took two days for me to stop waking up in the morning and tap on his door to make sure that he was up and ready to go to school. I was an utter mess - I didn't know that it was actually possible for a person to cry THAT many tears 😢. He didn't leave much of a note - but he did write on a piece of paper "I love you Mom." and "F*ck School" on another right in the pass through where we would leave notes to one another. I soon found out through his friends that he was a victim of some cruel kids at his school video taping the beginning of a fight where he was defending his best friend and he'd "lost" the first part of a fight with this kid. Anyway, I remember how horrible it was especially in the first two years - I felt like an alien in a strange and very, very dark world that I no longer understood. I made it three whole months untill I felt like I could no longer live with the absolutely unbearable mantle of grief anymore - so, I wound up overdosing on Xanax and very strong painkillers. My roommate came home early that day though ( my poor husband was still at work) and she found me and the note I had next to me just in the nick of time - or I wouldn't be here writing this. My heart stopped about three times for a few minutes at a time while the ER doctors were fighting to keep me alive. The last time my heart had stopped - I DID see my Mother first (She'd passed away from cancer about a year and a half before Julien took his life) and then I got to see my Son. I remember being scolded by him for doing what I did. But at least I did see him in this glowing, timeless place. So, I do have some peace knowing that he is happy and that I will be with him again - but I was firmly warned "NOT BY YOUR HAND." So, even though I have been tempted to join him - I was warned. I do NOT recommend ANYONE to try and do this. It hurts like hell - as most everyone on here knows - but I promise - it DOES get easier... Just hang on no matter what...

I lost a best friend the same way. He was 14. I saw what his parents had to go through, but I cannot imagine what they must have felt. It frustrates me to think that kids that young decide to choose a way out like that. On the upside, I sometimes see his death as a sacrifice. Because after that, none of us in the friendship group took anything or anyone for granted. We also learnt very quickly how to save others and prevent them from going down the same path. If we needed help, we went to get it and advise others to get HELP WHEN THEY NEED IT. I hope you are doing well and found some comfort in your life. It is hard, but I hope you found something that brings you joy. As for my friend's parents, they found joy in the little things of life. They have recently become grandparents to 2 adorable little girls!

We lost our 41 year old son to an addiction illness, 28 days ago. Inconsolable.

My daughter just past away, like 6 days ago, she was my life! I don't know how am I going to live without her.... That is her in the picture. I miss Nicole :(

It has been 1 month and 3 days since my son died by suicide. It is truly the worst thing ever. I am trying to cope and the best thing that I did was to visit a local group called compassionate friends. It is for parents and grandparents who have lost a child. In that group , they gifted me a book that is truly a life changing experience. The book is called Permission to mourn a new way to do grief by Tom Zuba. I hope this will help some of yall. God bless you as you heal.

I keep coming back to KZread to hear other people’s stories. It helps me feel less alone. I lost my 23yr old daughter to Covid, suddenly, unexpectedly, with no reasoning. She was here, then she wasn’t! Three years have passed, and in many ways I am worse off than early on. I have lost family, friends. I expect to lose all my friends. Nobody understands and nobody really seems to care. It seems like people have no empathy at all. I am so disappointed! I am struggling to find joy in anything.

You're right about people lacking empathy these days. It's so unfortunate, once a tragedy happens or a loss everyone is there at first for support but it goes away and most people just don't know how to help others heal or what to say so they start distancing themselves unfortunately hoping you will get better and be able to be the person you once were, but it doesn't happen like that. The world keeps moving on but you just seem to get stuck in time when a big loss happens. With every new day you just need to keep moving along with a heavy weight in your heart.

Thanks so much for this video. We lost my little brother, age 50, in a motorcycle accident on 5/12/18. He was out on a day trip with his 16 year old son riding on a motorcycle behind him. Poor darling witnessed his father's death. I cried all through the summer and finally sought out a counselor. My parents are struggling so much. They are not people that acknowledge the feelings that they are having. So my mom has developed serious health problems. My dad runs away. He is managing the estate and there are minor children so it is complicated. I am in Utah caring for my mom while he goes back to NC to "wrap up" the estate. He sent a message yesterday saying he was so depressed. That led me to seek out help. Thanks for this. Please pray for them and all who are suffering from loss.

My son Garrett, was killed in a hunting accident and I love to speak of him, I try every day to honour his memory and remind myself that his life was a gift. Thank you for your video, hearing other parents who "get it" is very helpful.

Melanie Delorme Im so sorry. I lost my son and then my wife. He passed 10 years ago and I had a breakdown this morning. I will miss him for the rest of my life. May God bless you!

I want to thank the three families that took the time and for there amazing strength to be a part of this video. I lost my son three months ago and every day is a roller coaster ride of emotions. I have suffered many losses in my life, but I have never felt pain like this in my life. There are days when I just don't want to get out of bed but I know that I have to take care of my wife and daughter so I get up and do what I have to for them. So once again thank you for sharing, it makes me feel better knowing that many of the feelings I am having are normal.

I know it has been 7 years now and that you are still grieving. I just want to let you know that Jesus loves you and only He can bring your true peace. The greatest thing I can do right now is to share my best friend's story with you. Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** Tribute to Ethan Lakey kzread.info/dash/bejne/d5yjxMWKipm3kps.html

This part of KZread was invisible to my eyes. 70 days back on 24th March, when I lost my son a day after his birth, the shock just ripped through my heart. That feeling of blaming oneself, of constantly thinking why we did this or that, or doing otherwise might have saved the child is very real. When I saw people here grieving loss of their 20/25/30 year olds, I for once thought my pain is very small compared to theirs. But realised quickly that it doesn't matter how long they have spent with you, we all grieve equally. In our child, we loose future: theirs and ours. What our children's could have become and achieved, what we would have seen them doing and accomplishing, everything becomes faded memories. I and my wife are still in reproductive age-group, and I hope and pray, that we get success in bringing our son back to our life. Because life, without you Atharva, is no life.

my sympathies go out to all who have lost a child as I have. my youngest son was a recovering cancer patient and his Dr. know of it yet she did nothing for him and they just let him die in the last hospital with no nutrients. it's bad enough he was handicapped with cerebral palsy and autism but his death was uncalled for. I'm thankful his dr. was put out of practice but the don't give me back my son. he was just 30 years old and I miss him so much

I lost my son 2 months ago, unexpectedly and unimaginatively. He was only 35 and I am broken.

LOVE is why we grieve SO Deeply! It’s worth the pain!

You all are very lucky to have each other to lean on. I lost my son 8 years ago now and I still struggle with happiness. Your words touched me and I feel the pain... It's hard to find someone to understand and to be supportive because it is a difficult journey...

Anything4URnA I recently lost my 27 year old only child a few months ago. I lost my mom years ago and I am an only child. My son was my everything, no husband, real friends, family always treated me differently! I pray God will send the right people In our lives. He is a loving God and he always has a ram in the bush! I am thinking of joining a grief counseling group because I realize people who have not experienced this type of loss do not understand. I am praying for you and you can contact me anytime

To all the parents who ;ost their children. I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope that with the support of family and friends that you will be able to start to heal from this horrible loss.

To everyone reading the comments in 2024 in my experience it doesn’t get easier it just gets different!My 23 year old son Austin was murdered in 2018. My life has never been the same and never will be! One piece of advice I’d like to give is allow yourself grace and to feel happiness again. It takes time but I promise you those days will come. Remember you are NOT alone! ❤️ 🙏🏼

I just lost my (step)son 09/13/2018 vehicle vs pedestrian. He was hit while in a marked crosswalk. I find this video helpful knowing I'm not the only one lost for words and at times feels like idk how I'm going to go on. He was 18 years and 4 months old when he was so tragically and brutally taken away from us. He was a double major a UNR (forensic pathology and geology). The first of any of us to live the dream of attending University. The driver was doing 45/55 (ppl can't make up their minds we just know the guy was speeding) in a 35 and most disgusting and disturbing of all the driver was on his phone when he plowed into my son. Thank you for this video

I am touched by the understanding and support I see here in both the video and the comments. I feel like I don’t have to explain myself or the uncomfortable details surrounding the loss of my child. I am grateful. (Group hug)

I lost my son, I will never get over it, to this day 10 years latter, I still feel the same pain.
