Dear Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear baby boy and send you my sincere condolences. The passing of a loved one can leave us feeling lost and heartbroken. But I've found very comforting words in God's word, the Bible. At Psalms 55:22, God promises to sustain those who throw their burden upon Him. God will also do away with death all together as brought out at Revelation 21:4. The bible also holds out the hope of a resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in death at Acts 24:15. May Jehovah, the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our trials (2 Corinthians 1:3,4), comfort you in your time of need. Heartfelt prayers are with your family.

My heart is with you. I lost my son in 1998. I know the pain that you are going through. Lean on the Lord and He will get you through this. May He comfort you and your family during this time. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
The organization Compassionate Friends helped tremendously also.
