Your baby boy is in heaven, hallelujah. As for the woman who is at fault, that is between her and God. But you can rest in the fact that your son is perfect and he is in the arms of Jesus.

I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a child is never easy.
I'm an atheist and I find no comfort in the idea of an afterlife. When someone dies the Christian ideology believes that it was "their time to go". Or "It was part of God's plan".
Atheists on the other hand look at premature death as an unfortunate circumstance. There is no reason or purpose for it. It just happened. There doesn't need to be a reason and there's honestly no comfort in imagining a reason. We just find comfort in the memories we have of the person.
How can someone honestly feel good about and omnipotent god deciding on a whim to take a young child away from his mother? How is that comforting? Even if the idea of a heaven is more comforting to someone that doesn't make it real.

My sincere sympathy for your loss. I've experienced it.
You've only put two choices up there. There are many more, but I'll share mine. My son became part of the same energy from whence he came, the same energy that runs throughout the universe and beyond. Heaven? perhaps, but I don't personally believe that. But certainly not dead. Dead is the cessation of a body, and a body is just a vessel for the energy.

I am very sorry for your loss..
I believe your son went to heaven. In 2 Samuel 12: 23 David and Bethsheba's son died and David said "But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." David believed in an afterlife with the Lord. So I am sure he believed his son would go there also.
Peace.

I'm terribly sorry about your son's death. I have a young daughter and I don't know what I would feel if I lost her.
I happen to be an atheist, but I don't think this is the time to try to persuade you.
The best thing to do is remember your son. As long as you are alive, you have him in your memories.

You believe what you want to believe. Dealing with death is a process, and it will be a loooooong time before it's over (or it might never be). If it helps you to believe he is in heaven, then believe that's where he is....
I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope that you get through this. See a counselor if you feel you cannot.

I'm sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain of losing a child. God says your baby is in Heaven. I'm sorry if that isn't what you believe.

I am very sorry. As long as you keep comfort in keeping your son in your mind, he shall exist to you until you no longer have the capacity to think.

be convinced that your baby boy is looking in the eyes of his creator, God.......are you going to join him when your life is over through believing on the Lord Jesus Christ?
I am sure thats what your son is hoping you will choose to do right now.
