Thank you for posting her photos - she was such a beautiful girl, and the love she lived just shines in her eyes.

My continued prayers are with you and yours.

The night time is our darkest … we miss her terribly … God I just want to hold her one more time … please pray for us!!!
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I found that the darkness and stillness of the night had removed all the distractions of the day and I was left without any diversion from the grief and the ache in my arms as I longed to hold my son. Sometimes it helped to get out of bed and journal my grief. After it was written, I could close the book (at least for the moment) and get a little rest.

As you ride the roller coaster of emotions, please know that when you cannot think straight or you don’t know how you will survive, our prayers are with you. :angel1:

“Gosh guys - I miss her and I just want to hold her in my arms and tell her everything will be all right.”

She knows everything is all right. She wants you to know that.

How do I know? I have been praying that she will come to me in my dreams … but I haven’t seen her. I know what our faith teaches, but I just wish I could have some confirmation that she is fine.

The pain is unbearable at times.

Oh what a beautiful tribute. Thanks for sharing. I am so sad for you.

Your question whether she is OK right now? Trust that Our God is a merciful and loving God. Do not doubt. WE must believe that our loved ones including McKayla are in heaven because that hope will get you through this.

Please know that so many of us are praying for your family daily.

Dear God in Heaven, grant this family peace only you can bring and grant McKayla eternal joy with you.

A Priest said this to an old woman (87) who couldn’t get over the death of her daughter, **" ask her to let you go " **
The woman said this helped her a lot, I will never be able to understand your pain, it has to be unbearable, a very heavy cross for you to bear.
I pray to my dead sister Carmel, she died at 3 months, I never knew her because I was next in line to be born.
But I know she is among the Holy Innocents of Heaven, I hope and shall pray for you that God may grant you consolation in your great loss.

Every year my mother would remember her birthday, and oh yes the tears as well, It was hard to watch my mother cry, and then she’d describe her lovely black hair, it was heartbreaking.

I suppose in some weird way I was some consolation to her loss as I was the next born, I’ve only started recently to think about that.
But there is no easy way to grieve, everybody has their own way to deal with it.
For me it’s my faith and my hope in a better world beyond the veil, where every tear will be wiped away and there will be no more death, and no more sorrow.

And may God Bless you with consolation this day.
 
Prayers for McKayla and your family, Moe.

One of my brothers died suddenly and unexpectedly in a hospital. I was a kid–23. I can never forget the pain that my family went through. Jim died on Good Friday. He was 26. I remember waking up to the sound of my parents sobbing on Easter Sunday. That was the saddest thing…You know, I think that you never really get over the loss of a child, but hopefully you learn to live with it–eventually. Your child/children will need you to do this.

Eight years later, after Jim’s death, my first son was born in that same hospital on Holy Thursday. To me, Jack’s birth was God’s way of telling us that He will never forget our pain either. We brought him home on Easter Sunday. God’s so good.

A couple years ago at the beginning of Lent, my husband and I ordered a Pieta; it was to come through the mail. It took a longer time than I’d expected and I’d given up hope that we’d have it for Lent. Well, it arrived on Good Friday, right around the time Jim had died, 6pm. To me this is the hand of God. To me, it was God letting me know again that I can trust Jim to Him, and to Heaven. God is so good.

I believe that God will let you know she is fine, but in His time, not yours. Right now, the pain is so new, it would be hard for Him to give you a sign now. Everything you’re feeling right now is overshadowed with pain. Trust Him to give you that sign when He knows you are ready for it…
Pax Christi,

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. I cannot begin to imagine what it is to lose a child, I don’t have any of my own, but I can tell you I know what it feels to lose a close family member. My 30 yr old uncle passed suddenly almost 3 yrs ago. I was almost 23. He was like a brother to me and still miss him horribly. Your post has brought tears to my eyes. I’m sorry you are going through this, this must be how my grandparents are feeling.

You, your family and daughter are in my prayers!

Thanks Maggieodae … we are so sad … we miss her terribly … and I turn to God - but I have no comfort - yet. What would he need a 13 year old girl for???

We know, because He told us so. It is natural to want something tangible, something firmer than words, but that is the truth: We know that she is with Him, because He told us so:
“I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am, there you may be also.”
Somewhere, St Teresa of Avila wrote that once, at prayer, she became aware that if she, “Teresa de Ahumada”, were the only person who would ever believed in & followed Jesus Christ, that He would have gone to the cross & died for her, & her alone.
Jesus Christ loved McKayla so much, that if she were the only person who would have ever believed in & followed Him, that He would have died for her, & her alone. How can she not be with Him now??

God bless you in your grief, with the knowledge of His immeasurable love.
 
It means I am praying for you, your family, and your daughter.
