Prayers for our family please

[TopDog]

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss.
May the Lord comfort you and guide you.
Prayers for you and your wife and especially the little one.

 

[mrortega]

We're sorry for your great loss, Doc. Look at your wife's expression: Pure joy holding her daughter. Any your little Grace: Utter, complete contentment and happiness. God bless you and your family. Grace needs no blessing as she is resting the arms of Jesus praying for you!

 

[KG1]

Many of us have been crying with you. Prayers have not stopped.

^This right here^ I think alot of us have felt a connection to hoosierdocs family though his many postings of events in their lives that he has shared. I'm pretty sure that any one of us would do anything possible to help carry the burden of such a heavy load to bare.

Continued prayers for You and your Wife hoosierdoc and your boys. God be with you all.

Just spoke to my aunt who Grace lived with her first six weeks of life. Monday morning, my uncle told her over breakfast about a dream he had that night. In it, he was awoken by a woman standing over him saying "wake up, wake up, I've come to take her home".

God is real. Heaven is real. In that I find peace.

Wow...that is powerful! She is in God's arms now.

You and I both. The prayers continue.

I agree Doc. I experienced something similar the day my dad died. I'll skip all the details but I'll say that as my wife and I were driving home to be with him, I felt a presence that...touched my soul...it was for a brief instance but I knew he was gone. I'll never forget that. God is real.

Prayers for you and your family, Doc. I just can't imagine the horror of that morning. My heart goes out to you.

 

[guns and groceries]

I too have felt the hand of God when a loved one passed. And I too cried myself to sleep last night for your loss. Thoughts are with you and your family.

My apologies if the link above is a dupe.

When baldguy637 posted his daughter's heart surgery recently, I was taken back to when my daughter had her surgery 19 years ago at age 2 and the miracles and tragedies we witnessed in our brief time on the cardiac floor. Hearing "code blue" a couple of doors down from our room in the middle of the night and realizing that however hard we thought our situation was, some other family was experiencing the worst nightmare there is. It would not surprise me if you are embraced by other parents who have experienced the sudden death of a child as they learn of your loss. They are the only ones who truly understand "what you're going through".

I suspect it will continue for some time.

It is said that God will never give us more than we can endure.

I pray that the Lord will be with you and your family to help ease your pain. It never ends doc...but God will help you through it. Bless you and your family.

 

[japartridge]

Doc, I am so sorry, I know there is nothing I can say or do to make it better, but know that you and yours are in our thoughts and prayers!

 

[nascarfantoo]

Doc, my sympathy and condolences go out to you. My prayers are being sent to our Father for you and your family.

 

[Alamo]

What a crushing event. Prayers for your whole family.

 

[shibumiseeker]

Woke up this morning and my eyes hurt. I've never had sore eye muscles from crying before. I suspect it will continue for some time.

*hugs* my friend. My favorite author writes of major life tragedies like these regarding what to do next: "and now we go on." It's the only thing we can do. It's not "moving on" but "going on." You're a good man and do good work in life and you have a lot of people who sympathize here and everywhere you've touched people.

 

[nascarfantoo]

Doc, is there possibly a charity that we could donate in memory of Grace?

 

[hoosierdoc]

Doc, is there possibly a charity that we could donate in memory of Grace?

Yes, thank you. There is a new group called "Love, Lucas". It is run by two people from my church, one of whom is our worship leader. Their mission is to minister to and help with expenses for families who lose children during pregnancy or while young. We helped them get started a year ago with a donation and ironically they are helping to minister to us.


Love, Lucas, P.O. Box 17521, Indianapolis, IN 46217

We had an organization deliver a gown today for her. They make them out of wedding dresses and we will be donating my wife's soon for that purpose. I strongly urge you to do the same if your wedding dress is not likely to be used again. It meant a lot to have a stranger show up with a gift born from a labor of love.

I saw that they wanted to donate. I was hoping you had gotten word. They have a wonderful mission and many wonderful volunteers.
