Hey guys, I just wanted to pop in to let you know why I've been a bit absent this past week. Some of you may remember this thread I posted a while back about our friends who's baby was battling cancer. Well, we thought he had beaten it, and they did remove it from his liver, but recently they found it took over his lungs and he was suddenly given a month to live.
He unfortunately passed away on the 27th. His funeral was a couple days ago, and this Easter has been tough for the parents as you can imagine. My wife and I have been helping out as we can, with the funeral, and today we're watching friend's kids so the parents can go get memorialized tattoos. I just felt it was right to put a closing on this whole issue and shed light on why I may not be myself for a while, as I myself have a 1 year old and couldn't imagine staying sane after such an ordeal. Times like these force us to realize what's important in life.

So sorry to hear this, Meat 
My Granddaddy just passed away on the 27th as well, and it has been an extremely rough time for me dealing with his passing, but I could not imagine losing a child.
My heart goes out to them.

It's bizarre how much life changes once you have kids. I cannot fathom how I'd react in a situation like that. Having nothing to blame, no direction to focus the anger and frustration would melt my mind. I see my kids and a thought will cross my mind about what we'd have to do if one got sick or hurt and my entire body just aches due to the thought of it.
Your friends (and yourselves) have our prayers and thoughts, man. I'm proud that the people of this server are capable of understanding the level of seriousness of these issues and, as always, family comes first. Take care of them and your own. We'll be around, and if there's something we can do to help, say the word.
Take care.

Sorry to hear about your friends loss, meat, and I feel for all of you. I don't have any children myself, so I perhaps fathom it less than others, but I just had a close friend who lost their son when he was 23 days old, right at Christmas, for unexplained reasons. It's such a loss and it doesn't make sense at all.
I tend to feel the loss of a child is akin to a natural disaster. As Pher said, nothing to blame and nothing to focus the anger. There is no sense to the occurrence, and it can completely destroy the perception of a just and loving deity if you let it, but also it can really mess with the notion of our purpose here. We're taught that we're meant to learn an grow so that (in some form or another) we can become secure in our lives enough to provide for our own welfare AND the welfare of our children. By virtue of this growth, we're taught that the security we provide to others will be enough to protect them. Incidents like this....how can we endure it?
Anyways, I wax meloncolic, but I echo Pherian. If there's anything we can do, let me know. It may be something small and utterly insignificant, but I'll help where I can.

Something like this is absolutely heart crushing. There is no loss tougher than that of a child. All of our thoughts are with you, I'm sure.. and especially with the parents.

My thoughts are with the Pearson family. I cannot apprehend the loss and grief they must be struggling with. Take your time, a strong support system is what this family needs right now.

I am so sorry to hear this, it must be incredibly hard for them. Your family being there for them and helping out is wonderful, and I'm sure it makes this a tiny bit easier. My condolences.
