just need some input on tragedies

Hi,
I will try to make this as short as possible:

2 years ago my cousin's 2 yr old son, Andrew, died by drowning in a neighbor's pool. The neighbors were not home, but their front door was unlocked and he went in, just in the time it took for his parents to dash into their own home, leaving him in a fenced back yard, to get his play table. He somehow opened the gate which he had never been able to do. 15 months after his death both parents were charged with negligent homicide, convicted (I cannot recount all the injustices of this situation- but please trust me- they were not guilty as charge and accepted a plea from the DA rather than risk prison and being away from their 5 year old daughter) This situation is beyond unjust and unfair. Yet, they are trying to put their lives back together. Both are employed and now the parents of a 6 month old boy. A real blessing and a very healing thing in their lives. The mother just found out she is pregnant again and ecstatic!

On Monday they found their 6 month old son dead in his crib after a nap. no cause of death yet.

Their daughter was immediately taken from them and placed in foster care. Many relatives are trying to get temporary custody of the child but there is always some "excuse" why she cannot be placed with a family member.

I cannot comprehend the unspeakable tragedy and injustice these dear people are enduring.

What can be said in such a situation when they do believe that everything does happen for a purpose and that God has a plan.....but the plan is killing their children and they are in utter despair. Now the mom is afraid to give birth to this next baby.

Please give us any input/insight on this situation.
thanks for all your wisdom and insight

this may be no consilation, but, i know a familly who lost a child, who snuck out to sleep in a hot car.....they where also treated with much injustice. But they know a Pastor who one morning as he was leaving for work, the wife comes running out with his lunch and before she reached him their house blew up form a gas leak, they had 7 kids sleeping inside.

I am not makeing a point at all about other people having it worse, i am not trying to make things better or worse. It is fureating that not only do terrible things happen, but humans have to add to the injury.


I do know that both my friend and her pastor have made peace with God, having healed as best as people can from the pain. ANd anyone who ever lost someone can attest the pain of it never goes away, but one may learn acceptance of what is, and cherish what was.

And i Pray that They will mourn and heal well, and make the best of what is, and cherish each good memory. ANd that the Lord have mercy on them  for the further injusties humans want to give them.

I too pray for them and believe that even in the worst of times the peace of God that passeth all understanding can be found.

LittleBear:
I'm so sorry Judie. :'(

Love,

Ursula
