Damn, Heartbroken Moms living all Moms worst nightmare. We Pray & cry for each & everyone. Together we feel the abundance of fear & pain to the core of our souls. We never dismiss any mother's bond. From the moment our babies flutter in our womb we share the love, protection, instincts, joy, pride and fear. Heavenly Father Our God, We Pray you gift these Moms with the Strength and Console them in the countless hours of grief. Place in their lives understanding direction, and ability to continue to heal &❤️

Why do talk show hosts have a guest come on and talk about something so painful, and not have tissue readily available? That always confuses me.

Your one strong and beautiful moma. My heart is breaking for you. Thank you sharing your story. Sad the police was called, So sad you had to go through this. On April 25th 2025 youngest son had heart attack. On April 30th 2025 had quadruple bypass. I didn't know why was taken so long, no word until 6 hrs later. I found out afterwards, he flatlined when closing up, then opened back up, flatlined again. They used defibrillator so many times it burned him big time. Although he went through so much,we were blessed, God saved him, brought him back to us. He's still having trouble, but he's alive. 🙏💕

Lord help this mother and all grieving mothers. I know this pain all too well. I loss my youngest son in a car accident. July 11,2021. I didn’t officially find out until the 12th of July. Lord I want my baby back. He was 24. He lived life to the fullest. I’m still learning to live without him in my life. The loss of your child/children is a pain that’s unexplainable. God is keeping me. I don’t wish this heartache on no one.

My heart goes out to you. After 19 years, I still struggle with not being able to see my son after he passed in a traumatic car accident. The Chaplain begged me not to see or visualize him like that in the end. I understand when she said, “ I just wanted to touch him.” 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Wow 😮, that’s a hard pill to swallow when you lose a child, because I lost mine oldest daughter two years ago and it still hurts, but God is still in control of everything. I send my deepest sympathies and prayers and thoughts to you and your family during this difficult time of grief.

Seriously there is absolutely no worse pain than a mother witnessing the death of her child. Nothing a man or woman could do to me that would even come close. God is near the brokenhearted

From one mother’s broken heart to another’s—I see you, I grieve with you, and I honor your pain. I, too, have known the unspeakable sorrow of losing a child—my oldest. It’s a storm like no other. There are no perfect words that can reach the depths of what it feels like, but there is a perfect God who can. Even in the silence of our pain and the questions that linger, I have learned one profound truth: God never stops loving us—even in our loss. And He never stopped loving our children. He knew them before we did, and He received them with open arms when they left this earth. Scripture says in 2 Corinthians 5:8, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” That is our peace. That is our hope. That is our anchor. Your children are not lost—they are home. Whole. Healed. Safe in the arms of the One who knit them together in your womb. Psalm 34:18 reminds us: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” You are not alone in this pain. God is near. He collects every tear you’ve cried. (Psalm 56:8) Sometimes we don’t understand His ways, and that’s okay. He never asked us to understand—He asked us to trust. I don’t know why He allowed this storm, but I do know this: He is still good. And He promises in Romans 8:28 that “all things work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.” There is a purpose, even in the pain. One day, we will see clearly what we can’t now. Let me pray for you, mother

In 2018, my son was the victim of a homicide. Upon arriving at the scene, I was physically restrained by law enforcement, preventing me from reaching him. Witnessing my child's lifeless form was an experience of profound helplessness. My only desire was to offer a final touch, a moment of connection, before his body was taken by the coroner. My deepest sympathies are extended to you and your family.

September 20, 2015, I lost my first born Son. A part of me died, but Jesus gave me a new life to live. My life ended that day, and Jesus gave me a new life. Thank you, Jesus, cause I was going to lose my mind.😥

I feel her pain i lost my son, i just wanted to touch him, but he had been gone so long that he couldn’t be embalmed, the funeral home told me it was in my best interest, not to see him, as it would’ve hurt me to much to see him , so I didn’t. If i would’ve had the chance I would’ve seen him, but i didn’t. I don’t regret it, bc i don’t think I could’ve taken it, but i do regret not being able to touch him one more time! I’m sorry momma💔💔💔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
