I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your son.
His name is Noor. Thank you!
Matthew, thank you. Our son took his own life as well. It’s a very hard thing to deal with, for parents as well as siblings. His older brother has taken it very hard. We pray for God’s continued peace and comfort for ourselves and for you and your family also.
Thank you, Pastor Gary, those are very kind words. God bless you as well.
Thank you, Jesus - I have met so many wonderful Catholic people on these forums and have been very encouraged as a result. I am also learning a lot! It is a true blessing.
Noor means light, correct? It is a beautiful name.
Yes, an Arabic name. My husband is from Syria. Thank you for sharing your story; it helps a lot to talk with others who have been through a similar situation. I will check out that website.
I lost a child called Noor

God bless you Betsy. With all the love in my heart I pray for the two Noor’s in heaven

I am very sorry for both of your losses. It is terribly hard to lose a child. I would love to hear about your wife’s dream, and I know my husband would as well. My husband, myself, and our oldest son had very similar dreams about our Noor several months ago that could only have been from a loving God. In each of the dreams we saw Noor and he was content (although not yet completed, for lack of a better term). All of the dreams ended in the exact same way, with him giving each of us a hug that felt as real as if he had been standing in the room with us. I know that God is so much bigger and greater than any of us can possibly imagine.My wife is Jordanian…we lost Noor 4 months before birth.
We also lost another one 5 months before birth.
We have since buried both their bodies in the local cemetery and my wife to this day struggles when we visit them.
It indeed is hard, but I believe physical death is in no way the end and we will be reunited with them again.
If you wish I am happy to recount a dream my wife had about Noor, which simply astounded me and confirmed my faith in God
Thank you for this story and yes your observations are correct. We can pray for the departed as they can pray for us.
God Bless You and we will continure to Pray for him and you and family. I will include you all in my daily Mass. God Bless, Memaw
Betsy,
It would be a pleasure to share the dream Betsy
) name during his daily prayers.Simply awesome thanks for sharing.It would be a pleasure to share the dream Betsy
This dream occurred about 6 months after we buried Noor.
It goes as follows:
My wife was attending a gathering and as she entered she was drawn instantly to a beautiful girl, brushing her long black hair and with the most radiant glow upon her person. It was instantly atracting for my wife.
My wife suddenly came to a realisation and asked “Noor, is that you darling girl?”
“Yes mummy its me, I love you”
“I love you too angel girl, but you have grown up so quickly, look at your hair…”
“Yes mummy, there is no time where we are here. We can be any age we like, and we are all one…”
At that moment my wife awoke with profound thoughts which she shared with me when she woke me up. We both sat up and prayed in the middle of the night for Noor’s soul and we know she will always be with us. We do not die when we physically die, death is actually more alive than when we are alive here…in this world…
My son, Jamal, to this day, does not, during his morning and evening prayers, ever forget to invoke Noor and Georgina’s (long story about that name
I really believe that with each generation, with correct education, the faith and certitude in God’s unabounding grace increases. Jamal often teaches us, even at the age of 11, what faith truly means…
I pray this may assist you and your dear husband in finding peace and solitude in such a sensitive and touching matter
God bless you dear sister
