    Default I Cannot Fathom

    What verses can I share with someone that has lost a child, and it was the person's fault due to neglect or an accident?

    I am at a loss for words.

    gosh Pariah, that's a tough one.

    That is a good one, canny. It also serves those who suffer for those that would endure such a loss and cannot find the words to comfort them.

    Psalm 34:1818The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

    I often feel responsible for the state of mind of my son, but that is all with hindsight, sometimes we cannot see what we should be doing at the time. fortunately he is still here with me.

    Some things to be thankful for.

    You only do what you think is best at the time Canny. You can do no more.
    Never be overwhelmed by decisions, just consider the right ones and your options will be far fewer.

    I have hunted and pondered and I find little to help ,,,, this may be a time to hug and hold and say nothing. I do not know.

    I don't believe there is any bible verse that can alleviate suffering of that kind, but the verse "come unto me all you who labour and I will give you rest" comes to mind as a first step to healing. A relationship with the one who is able to renew a life, to me is the only remedy

    10"See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
