My heart goes out to this father and family… I lost my 21 year old grandson to a terrible cancer.. one of the last things he was able to say to me was how sorry he couldn’t be there for me when I was old and frail like I was there, and he was there, for my own elderly parents… He was my Best Boy.
My granddaughter at age 5 was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. Leave it. We couldn’t leave it either. They gave her radiation. We had a we had about not even a year with her she was the most beautiful little girl she was smart. She was witty at the most beautiful smile you ever saw. She was our first grandchild my daughter’s first child and like your son she lost all her motor skills anymore she couldn’t talk anymore she couldn’t, do anything for herself oh, but she smiled all the time she was so beautiful.
She never complained a bit. She was just amazing. Not until the night before she died. She couldn’t swallow anymore. She was so distressed. She did cry. She cried very hard because she couldn’t swallow my son in law took her out for a walk till she fell asleep and then they just put her to bed and she slept through the night but in the morning she didn’t wake up she was just in a bit of a semi coma or something we all went over and we all held her one by one.
She just turned seven she made funny noises and my daughter went over and took her. She took a very deep breath and let it out and died. She was seven years old and it is so hard every year. It’s been seven years now and every year we feel the pain never get over it never never die. Your child. Not my daughters child not my grandchild. It’s heartbreaking. You don’t get over it. Thank you for sharing your story.
I lost my son three years ago ago at the age of 33. He had gleoblastoma stage 4 brain cancer. I said you can lose your parents or a sibling but when you lose your child it’s a whole new ball game! It’s the worst thing that can ever happen to a parent. No one should have to bury their child! May god bless this family and hold on to your beautiful memories of your son, I still haven’t let go of my pain. I’m a diabetic and when Davy died I quit eating and taking my meds.
I didn’t care anymore, I started to get infections in my foot. They started to take infected bones here and there and then started amputating my toes until finally they had to amputate my leg! It’s been a long hard struggle back but with gods help I’m doing ok. I have a prosthetic leg now and walk everywhere! I know what I did to myself but I take care of myself and eat and take my meds, I still have my bad days but I’ve learned to cope! God bless any parent that has ever lost a child! God is with you and will see you through! Prayer has really helped me! Hugs dear people and god bless you all!
Im a single dad with two boys ages 9 and 12 and being a single dad I’ve got really close with both of my boys and it’s a bond no one will ever break. I couldn’t imagine going through this father’s pain. Both of my boys mean the world to me; it’s what I live for. My health isn’t the best but I pray everyday that God will let me live long enough to be able to see my kids have their own family one day and be successful.
This is heartbreaking!!! I feel this father’s pain, I told my sister in law at 32 if she was in too much pain that it was ok for her to go. She was gone with in the hour. She had gastric cancer that went undetected for years. By the time that the doctors figured out what was going on she was in the final stages of stage 4 and was given days to live. As I live almost 1,000 miles away I couldn’t get there fast, I booked a flight as soon as I could and was to go the next day when I got a call from my brother.
He said she couldn’t talk but be needed me to tell her I was on my way and it was ok to go. He held the phone to her ear and I told her, I would be there tomorrow and if she needed to go that it was ok. What I didn’t realize at the time was she actually passed on her daughter’s 10th birthday. Her birthday has been tainted with the pain of losing her mom ever since. RIP AIDEN AND MICHELLE!!!! You both are still LOVED so very much!
All of my love to this dear son and father. Dear Lord please give peace and acceptance to the families. It gets to the point for the one suffering through a terminal illness that they just don’t have the strength left to fight any more. I attended the funeral of my dear cousin’s son yesterday who was only 53 and had fought his battle for 4 years. He had intractable pain and finally told his mother, ‘I’m ready to meet Jesus.’ She told him that she knew he was and it was okay, and he passed soon after.
This story broke my heart! This child gave all he could and was a soldier who fought just like his daddy did! It is never easy watching a loved one pass away. I watched my dad, my hero, as he was dying and was with him at his bedside when he took his last breath. He fought for months on Hospice and I saw my dad deteriorate physically but mentally he was sharp as a tack! His passing was very peaceful and I truly believe it’s because he knew he was going to heaven to be with the Lord. I’m just grateful that I was with him and he wasn’t alone when he left to be with God. Even though it’s hard, I know Aiden’s daddy feels the same. He can honestly say that he was there when God blessed him with Aiden and was there when Aiden went home to be with God until they’re reunited again in heaven. I pray that Aiden’s family finds comfort in knowing he’s in heaven with God now and can run and play and do all those things that cancer robbed him off! R.I.P. Aiden!
I’m stunned by this story. Such a sweet boy taken from his loving family. I understand how he felt when he told his dad he had to quit. Around this time I was given a cancer diagnosis too. I had to go through radiation treatments, surgery, a 2 month hospital stay, and then 7 chemo treatments. Then last year I was given another cancer diagnosis. It was caught early enough that I had to have 6 radiation treatments. It’s been hard, and at times I wish I could just go back to when I didn’t have cancer. I really wish nothing but peace for this family. I know this sounds cliche, but he is no longer in pain. One of the things I wish I could say. I know they will see their boy again. I truly believe they will.
I send this message to everyone. You are not alone as you grieve, the ones who are left behind are the ones hurting. We are here for a short time on this earth, don’t be afraid. When we pass we are made whole again. No more suffering, disease or sadness. We will be together with all of our friends and family. To those who have lost someone as we all have, our loss is their family reunion. Until we are all together again Amen
Well done to that Father, for sending his son to his final rest in such a loving and encouraging way. That’s one brave young man. My heartfelt sympathies go out to his family, and friends. Just KNOW and be happy to have had him in your lives ,and that he’s now we and happy and painfree again and doing all the things he SHOULD be doing in his new world as it were.
