Beyond Words

Mom and Dad didn't make it to Saturday's visit because they were both killed in a car crash some odd miles from the farm. So it seemed with the first confused and inaccurate phone call. The county officials are confirming details. Awaiting the confirmation call.

The children do not know yet. We are waiting for the confirmation call before we tell them. That could be a while and? ? ? We aren't doing a very good job at hiding the still escalating shock and children are so-o-o-o sensitive to emotions. They know something is up.

These sort of bad events make me think. was it God's plan or was it just the universe. Simply wrong place, wrong time. My sympathies.

I am on the fence when it comes to God doing things in lives of people. Does God punish people? Or is it just random stuff that happens in the world? I was raised Lutheran. I am not exactly a pagan . I was brought up to fear God. Hell, my holy communion phrase I was given to recite in front of everyone in the church was " The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want' That is etched in my brain from childhood.

Children are so sensitive to these things. Honestly though, arfie, your best in this situation is enough. You must be dealing with your own feeling of shock and grief as well as sheltering the kids. My heart goes out to you all and adding many many prayers~

arfie my heart is sore for you and yours. I can only send you all the strength that i can muster and hope that all the outpourings here on DS reiterate how much you are 'family' here. you bleed, we bleed. I cannot begin to imagine your shock and horror and I know you will find your good way to tell the children. you must feel like you are navigating a dark tunnel with no direction. I hope our voices reach you and provide some little bit of ease. I hope you have incredibly good support around you right now.
