A tragic Loss

 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.....
