((((((((((( mazer )))))))))))) I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's never easy when a child is lost....so many unanswered questions

I cannot imagine how his mum is feeling right now. Devastated I'm sure is an understatement. And it's so hard to try to explain to children why something like this would happen when we as parents and adults can't even find the answers ourselves.

One thing I do know though is that by playing the "what if" game, makes acceptance of this horrible situation harder to deal with. Please try hard not to go there as it will only cause more pain.

I think in situations like this when we don't know what to say, it's best to say nothing.....and just hold that mum in your arms and weep with her. There are no words that can console her heart right now. But a hug and a knowing look of love and understanding will help more than anything in the world right now. Oh, and listening....if you can sit and listen to her talk. She needs to talk and to find her way through this. I know it will be so very hard to do....

I wish you and your children well. I will keep you and the child and his family in my prayers.
