Family Loss

Looseing a Family Member

The loss of a loved one is so hard to deal with, What do you say? what can you do to take away the pain of your friends ? Your family.
About a week and a half ago I got a phone call from my son, he had called to tell me that My nephew had taken his own life earlier that morning.
He had shot himself and before he had done so he told his brothers wife that even though he calls on family after putting his children to bed he is still alone, He reached beside himself pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger. Now what he had said really bothers me because family even though they all have their own lives need to stop and really listen to family when they call out to one another, Take the time to listen stop what you are doing if you feel there is a problem because you never know, That may be the last call of the day for them. He was alone and no one would take time and listen to try and figure out what was going on. After this horrible day Came the funeral you see I thought to myself you are really not alone there are so may people here who loved you they just didn't take time from their busy lives. Many were crying most out of guilt I'm sure. They day went on I come home the very next day across the street from me The house was burning down, that was one very long night I was handed one of the children who was about 8 months old from a lady who lived upstairs from the burning house, she asked me can you take this baby please? I asked who's it was and she said I don't know they can not find the parents... I thought maybe they were inside the house yet , but they were not what was left in the house were 3 other children they all passed away that night, what a loss for anyone. I'm standing there in my yard holding this child crying inside for it is less family and will never know who they really were, After about 2 hours the police come to take the baby from me to return to the mom. Why did it take so long for a parent to locate their smallest child I would have been freaking out looking for my children, Well later I was told that the parents were not even home, That the teenager was babysitting her siblings. What really happened that night? I don't understand If a parent is going to get out of a burning house would you grab the smaller children or the teenagers? The smaller children cant find a way out unless taught, the teenagers well I think they are pretty smart and could have followed along but really I wasn't in the house so I don't know what happen , why those smaller children didn't picked up and taken out like the teens
God bless those little ones who did not make it and Everyone who is suffering the loss.

    Pain doesn't go away peacefully, and we all know that. I hope you manage to get over this tragic situation and fine peace.
