The death of a 4yrs old !How do you overcome a suicide bomber arttack! [TURKEY July 2006]?

Question

Why the negative question rating??

Answer 1

You will overcome it in time. You won't forget...you won't forgive...but time really does heal all wounds. You will eventually be able to cope with it, much like the holocaust victims learned to cope. I don't think anyone with a heart would NOT be affected by the death of a child. Pray for strength...talk to trusted friends when you feel down, and don't be afraid to seek professional help if you think you're hitting a point where you can't handle it. Hang in there!

Answer 2

You lost a child in a terrorist attack? I can't even imagine how horrible that would be, if something happened to one of my children.

I can't offer any advice, but know that there are people on the other side of the world praying for you.

Answer 3

Answer 5

TO ALL PARENTS

"I'll lend you, for a little while,
a child of mine,"He said
"For you to love while he lives
and mourn when he is dead.
It may be six or seven
years, or twenty-two or three, but will you
till I call him back,
take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and shall his stay be brief,
you'll have his lovely memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
as all from earth return
but there are lessons taught down there
that I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over
in my search for teachers true,
and from the throngs that crown life's lanes,
I have selected YOU.
Now will you give him all your love
-not think the labor vain
nor hate me when I come to call
to take him back again."
I fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joys thy child will bring
The risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may---
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."

Troubles

Kind, Loving, Mighty God:
Stretch out Your hand
to strengthen me.
Lift me up
from my abyss;
right my wrongs;
turn my every failure
into success.
Look upon my troubles
and say,
"Enough!"


Oh, God
Your Creation resonates
with holy sounds
Let me hear them all.
Let them penetrate my heart
and rouse my senses;
the jangle of a charity box;
the voice of an faithful teacher;
even the intonation
of my own sign
when I cry out to You--
all these sounds are holy.
Oh, God
let my heart hear them all
and be uplifted.

Ruler of the World,
grant me truth!
Spare me from the lies of others,
Help me stop myself
from lying
to others
Save me
from lying to myself,
and spare me
from the lies
of my own illusions.
Oh, God
never let me live a lie,
even for only a moment.

Center of all existence
help me find the way
to that sacred sanctuary
within myself,
to that precious center of my existence.
Help me discover
my place in the World--
that space where I truly belong,
that space which belongs
unconditionaly to me
Dear God,
I've wandered for so very long,
Help me find my way
home.

Harmful Words

O God,
help me avoid
every abuse of speech.
Let no untrue word, escape my lips.
I pray that I never
speak badly of others,
or speak empty words of flattery.
Help me stay away from profanity.
Teach me, dear God,
when to keep silent
and when to speak;
and when I speak O God,
save me from using
Your wonderful gift of speech
to humiliate or hurt
anyone.


Sensitive Speech

God of understanding,
guide me,
for my own words sometimes
baffle me.
When I relate to those around me
insensitively;
when I hurt,
embarass
or insult them;
when I speak with a callousness
that causes pain;
when I lose myself
in my own ego----
God, pull me back to reality.
Help others understand
that I too am in pain,
and let them be forgiving.



In Thanks

God, ever my only Support,
You've taught me to pray----
to sigh,
to cry,
to awaken true, meaningful words
from deep within:
words that strengthen;
words that easy my pain
and heal my wounds;
words that dispel darkness.
Thank You, God,
for opening my lips
and for teaching me
to seek You
through prayer.



Focused Prayer

O dear God,
how I want
to pray,
but the distractions
are never-ending.
Please----
help me overcome them.
Help me be
wholly focused.
For once
help me pray
only true,
totally hearfelt words
to You,
dear God.


May God Be with You!
