You are loved by so many, like me, who turn to your writing because it vibrates with love for your family. Through it you've shown us your kindness, humor, strength and faith. And through pictures you've let us meet the beautiful family who grieves with you now. We're still with you. My prayers go out to you, Molly and Tom; all of you, and precious Jack, are in our hearts.

I am so, so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy. This is a sadness that every mother dreads, and that no words can comfort. But I am thinking of you and praying for you, from the other side of the country.

Varda said...

My friend Alexandra sent me here, told me of your news. I don't know what to say... my heart is breaking for you. I cannot imagine how one survives such a loss but I know that you must and you will, because of your daughter. The change in the comments before and then after is just wrenching... from ordinary happy life to worst tragedy imaginable in the blink of an eye. I am so, so sorry.

I don't know you, but I am also a mother. I can't imagine anything more shitty than the death of a child. I don't often swear, but this seems to be a good time to start. I pray that you can recover from this nightmare. If you want someone to lend an ear, I will be willing to be that person at any time.

May your physical and online community give you comfort and strength during this awful time.

Oh, Anna. I am so very sorry for your loss. A comment on a blog seems so small and silly in the light of this tragedy. I'll be praying for you and your family through this time. As your "blog family", please let us know if there's anything we can do to support you and honor his memory.

Julie said...

Anna,

As I scrolled through the hundreds of comments left here for you by strangers, I had hoped that some new insight or comfort or help might come to me...I wanted so desperately to say something of value.

But there are no words.

If you're reading this, you know by now that you're surrounded by love and prayers. And then again even more love. Radiating from countless people who have never met you.

But I can't imagine you're ready to be uplifted. Yet. I can't imagine when you will be. Ever.

My son Jack is 14. My daughter Karly is 12. Our tethers to this earth are so fragile and yet our bonds to each other can never be broken.

Hold on. Just please keep holding on. And remember how many hands are reaching up and down and out and all around to help you hold on.

And I'm so sorry I don't have better words.

MaryBeth said...

Kati said...

I was just going through some of your old posts, and I found this segment from your entry in July.
I hope it will comfort you and Molly now:



Here are the verses she felt guided to in Isaiah 43. For Molly, for me, and maybe for you:

"But now, this is what the Lord says-- he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: 'Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."

And you know what she said after sharing this with me? "Mom, I'm so glad God led me to those encouraging verses, but it makes me nervous because I wonder if that means I'm going to go through a lot of hardship in life and REALLY need them to lean on."

i find myself bawling for a child i do not know. i see his smiling face and i cannot stop the tears. i cannot imagine the heartbreak you and your family must feel. i can't imagine being the sister whose brother was taken...the mother whose son was taken...at such a young age. every emotion i have inside of me cries out to you right now. i hope in the midst of it all, that God has found a way to speak peace into your heart. xoxo

i just heard of your blog and of your horrifying tragedy. sorry for your loss doesn't even cut it. i just want you to know that there is another person out there who is thinking of you and your family.

Karen said...

Dear Anna~
May God's loving arms hold you and your precious family right now. May you know the comfort that only Your Father can provide. May your friends and family surround you and hold you up during this horrible, tragic time.

Losing a child is just not right--in any way. It feels wrong-it IS wrong. May His grace carry you as you make decisions that no parent should have to make in the coming days.

And as your heart continues to break and shatter, only He will hold the pieces for you. As the grief threatens to overwhelm you, know that He holds your tether and will carry you through.

I will continue to pray for you. I know the pain you feel for unfortunately I am also a part of the bereaved parents group. Our lovely 18 year old son was taken from us by a drunk driver 3 years ago.

May you encounter His Grace and Peace and Love in unexpected places.
Blessings
Karen

Dear Anna and family,

I am so, so sorry.

I had to give a child back to the universe when she was 11. In that, I feel a bit of your pain today.

So very sorry....

dearheart said...

Anna - I just learned of your terrible loss and I am so very sorry. I feel connected to you more than most people I have "met" in the blog world and have thought many times that I would stalk you with a vengeance if we lived closer to one another. I didn't want to believe it was you, "An Inch of Gray" Anna, when I learned that your dear son is gone. I am praying and crying with you now, Anna, and I wish you and your family all the comfort you can find in this world.

I saw your blog through Marinkas. I'm so very sorry to hear about the horrendous loss you are experiencing. My husband and I lost our son 21 years ago so I have some idea of what you are going through. I wish for you all the love and support that we had during the next few months and years. And know that one day, you'll be able to smile again. Keep that thought close to your heart. I promise it will help. If ever you need someone to rant at you can write me.

When I first heard of the news, I was paralyzed with fear of another mothers, even though a stranger, worse dream came true. Then found out we have mutual blog-friends. wanted to comment but I thought it was be stalkerish and wierd to comment because we don't know eachother. But, I just had too, just like everyone else before me. Because we're all Moms, and we're all feeling some of your pain. And we're all so very sorry for Jack, you, your husband and his younger sister. And for his extended family and his friends and teachers. We don't know eachother, but we have a few commong blog-Moms in common. And how I so badly wish I was commenting on your blog for a different reason. I am just so sorry.

Sorry is just a word...but I mean it.
They say time heals...I can tell you...it doesn't...it does however make the pain not so fresh...not so painfully fresh that every time you breathe..the pain catches your breath. The smiles return, the laughter begins again....but it will be different and you will make it another second, another minute..another day..another year...you have to for your family.
Trust this..he will never be forgotten by those he never knew...I am sorry so very sorry
God bless

Anna, I don't know you and have never been to your blog, but Kate Hood and Christy Casimiro shared about your loss. What stands out to me is how they admire your relationship and connection with God. I know He is the one who is holding you and your precious family now and your dear son is with Him. Please know that so many, including a perfect stranger like me, are holding you up in prayer and trusting God to carry you through this tragic time to places of healing and joy in the future. I am so sorry for your loss, but I know that, ultimately, you haven't lost him forever as you will be reunited in God's presence one day! Jeremiah 29:11

Stephanie said...

I'm sure that there is nothing that can help you understand why this happened to you, your family and your son. It doesn't make sense and it's not fair. And I'm so so sorry. When I had to deal with a tragic death, someone made me read a book that completely changed my perspective and took away the fear, even helped me understand it. It didn't take away the sadness, but it did ease the confusion. Embraced by the Light by Betty Eadie - I hope you find a time when you can read it and it helps.

I am praying for you, for your family. I am hoping that you can feel the love and the strength that so many of us, even though we are strangers, are sending to you.

I want to help. To do anything I can to make this easier for you. I'm in Fairfax. Reach out to me for anything.

I am so very, very sorry.

Anna, Another stranger here...praying for you and your family. I hope that God wraps you in His love and comforts you in a way that only He can do. I wish there was more I could do. My daughter is in the 6th grade; I just can't imagine...

Please know that so many people are lifting you up in prayer.

In Christ Alone,

As with so many others who have already commented I have come here from mention on another blog and on Twitter of the pain you and your family are going through right now. There are truly no words I can offer but please know that my prayers and thoughts are with you. And I truly hope that you may find a small measure of comfort knowing that so many others are also sending you their thoughts and prayers.

I read about your loss on Scary Mommy's site and, although you don't know me, I wanted to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. To know that the beautiful boy in those back-to-school pictures is no longer with us is heartbreaking and I'm trying to see my screen through tears right now. Please hold your family close and know that there are so many people saying prayers for you.

I just found your blog through Miss Mustard Seed. I know you don't know me but please know that I don't have to know you to have you in my prayers.

I wish I could say something deep and motivational but the truth is that when tragedy strikes, I'm just no good at finding the words. I mean, really, what could be said that would make you feel "better"? Other than changing what has happened, I would imagine nothing could make feel better right now.

Stay strong for your little girl. But take some time to breakdown. Crying is cathartic.

I am sending one (or a million) hugs to you and your family.

We are not of the same faith but I believe that the core of who we are is eternal. Your son clearly showed a beautiful spirit and the love he gave and the love he received will be with him forever. I know that your grief is immense but I pray the love that surrounds you and the prayers that come to you will carry you and your family through and I believe that you will all be together again. You have a daughter who's spirit also shines through and I pray that as you heal your family creates a strong legacy that will make your son proud when you all meet again.

We don't know each other, but we are sisters because we are both mothers. I am also mom to a son and a daughter that is a few years younger. I am so very sorry for your loss, your beautiful son, a life cut short. You and your family will be in the hearts of many that are coming together to express to you a measure of the love we feel for our own families. I wish I could hug you and comfort you, these few words will have to suffice.

Anna I have been here a few times and now here to find what is unimaginable and yet somehow true. I am so sorry. My deepest condolences, from one mother's heart to another, praying for you, your husband, your little girl, and Jake.

All my love to you Momma.

I linked from Stimey and wanted to give my heartfelt condolences. Your family is in my thoughts. I am truly very sorry for your loss and know that nothing will ever be the same for you. This will be such a painful journey for you all... trying to figure out the new normal, whatever that means. Your daughter, especially may find some comfort in sleeping with some of her brother's clothes. There is a company that will make a quilt out of old shirts... http://www.ticcheandbea.com/Baby-Clothes-Quilt-Kit-p/015.htm....
I had a few made with my daughter's clothes... for me and for her brother, too. It helps sometimes to feel closer to her.
( have no affiliation with the company~ just know that you will need so much support...)

Lisa said...

Supportive thoughts coming from Minnesota. We have a mutual blog-friend, Stimey. I'm so sorry that you will be without your brilliantly beautiful boy.

Megan T said...

There are just no words for a tragedy like this. My heart breaks for all of you in this beautiful boy's family. I buried my boy almost 11 years ago and for the longest time I just wanted to feel peace in my heart.....I wish for all of you the moments of peace that keep you from losing your mind in the grief.
