My husband and I just got home from meeting a very dear friend for a glass of wine. He and his wife lost their 15 year old son two years ago after he dove off a cliff into a lake, but didn't clear the cliff. It is heartbreaking how much suffering these two people have gone through since the loss of their son. He spent much of tonight tearing up telling us how he just wishes he could touch his son one more time. What do you say to someone like that? Anyway, if there is anyone who I know who needs prayer, it is the two of them.

I am so sorry, I can NOT imagine anything worse then living longer than your child. Of course they have my prayers.
 
I can imagine how painful it is to lose a young child. Will defiitely keep them in my prayers.

Kim, when I lost my brother who was a friend, a very uniquely loving brother, like a father and a solid protector! I was devastated. A good friend recommended "The Mourning handbook". It was of great help...it even helped overcome previous losses and how to deal with friends going through sickness and grief. I felt compelled to contact the author to have it translated into other languages to reach out to more people, especially those who do not believe in therapy.

It can be bought very cheap: http://search.half.ebay.com/mourning-handbook_W0QQmZbooks

I order most of my books from there and I order it when any of my friend is going through a grief....unbelievable costs and many are like brand new!
 
There is nothing you can say, all you can do is be there for them. They certainly have mine.
 
They have my prayers. My parents went through the same following my brother's accidental death, and I well remember how hard it was.
 
They will certainly have my prayers. Our close friends lost their son to suicide this past December. I told my friend (his mom) that she could call me anytime, day or night. We have talked just about every other day since this happened. She has told me that knowing someone is there to listen is the greatest gift of all. So just be available to listen whenever they need to talk. LINDA
 
Kim,
Of course they have my prayers. I have a friend whose son was murdered and we talk about him all the time. She attends a group therapy session, but says that talking to me is easier cause I don't judge her for still being sad. So even though you may not know what to say all the time I'm sure your friends would appreciate just having someone to talk to. God will bless them and bring them through this ordeal.
 
Sending my prayers for them. And to echo everyone else,you are doing
what you can for your friends-being there,listening and keeping in touch
with them. At times those who are experiencing such grief lose their friends
over time,so it means alot that you are sticking with them.
You are a good friend.
 
Your friends are in my prayers!

My nephew & his wife lost their son (my great-nephew) to cancer five years ago. He was only 13-years old, full of life, a little athlete, ready to tackle the world. And then, he was diagnosed with a deadly form of bone cancer, underwent chemo, had his right leg amputated at his thigh & until finally lost the fight at the age of 15. He was my nephew's only child.

Stay close to your friends & just be there to offer them support & a shoulder to cry on.
 
Kim:

My prayers are with your friends.
It's trite to say it, but only time helps -- along with support from friends, faith in God, etc. At work, I frequently deal with parents who have lost a child, sometimes their only child. My heart goes out to them -- and to your friends.
