The best source that has helped us is God's Word, the Bible. Here are some verses that we found comfort in.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,and before you were born I consecrated you;I appointed you a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5
" 13. For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 14. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 15. My frame was not hidden from you when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth." Psalm 139:13-15
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4"...Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me."2 Samuel 12:23"And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it."Ecclesiastes 12:7Helpful Books:

If you have recently lost someone you love, we are so very sorry for your loss. Some things we have experienced and learned, in losing our son, is to give yourself time. One thing I have struggled with is expecting to get back to "normal." When in reality, I don't know what "normal" is anymore. If you've lost a child and you have other children who are mourning, let them play. With our little girl, I just couldn't understand why all she wanted to do was play all the time. It bothered me that she didn't want me to hold her and that she didn't want to be with the family. And it bothered me that she didn't really want to spend a lot of time seeing Elijah. It wasn't until reading some materials given us on how children grieve, that I realized that she was grieving in her own way. Children have a very different way of going through something that painful. For children, their way of making it through is to play. I almost stopped our daughter from this, and I'm so glad that I didn't. Our daughter, if you've read "Our Story", is dealing with it in her own way. I just needed/need to be there for her when she wanted me to be there. To let her know that I was and am there. And to not push her into dealing with losing Elijah in another way other then her own. I also see that it was good for us to let her see Elijah and hold him. She has often mentioned how she was glad to be able to hold him and see him and how she wishes she could do it again. We didn't keep anything from her either. We told her everything she wanted to know. That's how it has been with her. I'm sure every child is different.
