My daughter is dating someone very special for a good while now... I can see them lasting and getting married when he returns from his mission and his Mother and sister died in a horrible house fire. My heart is broken for this family..... my Daughter has been a mess all weekend.... I am lost as a MOTHER to how to comfort this special boy in our life...... He graduates next year. It was Mothers Day weekend and his mom died 2 days before. Its his mothers birthday the day of the funeral... so many hard 1st go thru.....
You would think with all the death in my life, I would know how to comfort someone. I have had many children in my life who have lost their mother...... and it was easier when the children were little... he is almost a man.... I can't just cuddle him and hold him and tell him he will be ok....
My heart is aching for them all... and watching my daughter is hard... I am trying to give her strength and comfort but feel like nothing I say is working....
Life is hard..... I don't understand all the workings of the Lord.... I have to have faith he knows what is best....
I pray our family never suffers such tragic events....even though I have already lost so many.....

Angels Are Among Us!
For those who have lost loved ones...
"And if I go, while you're still here... Know that I
live on, vibrating to a different measure-- behind a thin veil you cannot see
through. You will not see me, so you must have FAITH. I wait for the time we can
soar together again, both aware of each other, until then; live your life to its
fullest... and when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart, I WILL BE
THERE."

"No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qaulities as patience, faith, fortitude and humlity. All that we suffer and all that we endure especially if we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called children of God."

Keep the Faith!
"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity."
“As you create a home, don’t get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don’t dwell on your failures, but think about your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey.”~ Sister Hinckley

Just be there for him. Listen. Apart from practical things - like food and funds for expenses (I cannot say how much that comforted me...just the relief from the worry), the kindest thing people did was listen. It is terrifying. House fires seem so rare these days, thank heaven. What a terrible thing to happen.
