Today was my brother-in-law's funeral. I am so sad. He was only 35 years old and died unexpectly a week ago. He had served in Iraq and we were so relieved he came home safely. They had a military funeral for him. I've never been to anything so sad. All the soldiers there and the 21 gun salute and gave the flag to his widow. To make things worse, another brother died young, at age 20. There were three brothers. Now it is just my husband. I feel so badly for my MIL. I can think of nothing worse then to have to bury 2 or your 3 children. My heart is just breaking for her and DH and DSIL. Please keep us in your prayers. I know people are only trying to help, I just got home from the store and someone I know said it was his time. That was just so hard to hear. How can it be a 35 year old's time? Seemed he had just started on life.................

I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers. I too have lost two brothers. The first died of non-hodgens lymphoma and the second died in an accident. My mom passed away 18 months ago from small cell lung cancer but she also had parkinsons. I honestly believe the stress from burying her two sons added to her health problems. We know that they are all together in Heavon but we miss them. So you see I do understand what you all are going through. I will keep you in my prayers!

Just saying it was someone's "time" doesn't make it any easier to understand, especially with someone so young and even more so when it's unexpected. When my bio father died at the age of 42 (I was 19) my grandmother was devestated. She couldn't grasp the idea of outliving her own son. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers :hug:
