A thread for The Winkler Family and the loss of there 16 mo. old, Levi :(

[Laxmom]

I just found this thread today and want to add my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. You must allow yourself to grieve - it is part of the healing process- even though it feels that healing will never happen. Find peace in knowing how your little guy has touched so many hearts. I will continue to keep your family in our prayers.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet, sweet baby.

Twinglemum, your post was wonderful--I lost my son in an automobile accident 7 months, 8 days ago and my very own mother told me that it was "God's plan". That was so hard to hear and my first instinct was to tell her, that I did not like God's plan if that is what he wanted for my baby.

Alicia, my heart breaks for you because I know what you are going through...may you find peace in the days, months, years to come. I will tell you what another bereaved parent told my husband and me...you will make it~it may not seem that way now, but you will.

Sunny37, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please forgive your mom and any other person who says anything that wrong to you. They do not mean to, honestly, in times gone by folks said such by rote. There is really no right thing to say in such a situation as there are no words to make it feel even a tiny bit better. Folks mean well, even when they do not always do well.

God, the Father, loves us and wants us to be happy and is sad when we are sad. Just as we want the best for our children. Whatever we believe in or whomever it is a comfort at these sorts of times when humans fail.

Dear Winkler Family,

I just found this thread and wanted to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. There is no greater loss than that which you have suffered. God be with you and guide you through this darkness.

Alicia, in no way can you be expected to be "coping". Be gentle with yourself, you have so much healing to do both physically and emotionally.

Dear Alicia and Family,

I just found this thread tonight and needed to just say you and your family are in my prayers. I do not have any eloquent quotes or words. Just know that people are praying for you and your family.

God Bless You!

My heart is broken for you, I can't imagine the pain you must be feeling. But I want you to know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Praying that both of you will have a complete recovery. God bless you.

Just wanted to let you know I'm still thinking of you...

 

[TrueEeyore]

Your family is in my thoughts. I hope you're able to turn to God in this difficult time.

Hi Alicia, I hope your family is recovering well. I just wanted you to know that I am taking care of the fridge swap as best I can. I wanted to make sure that you have at least one less thing to think about. I'm praying for your family and hoping you have a blessed Thanksgiving.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Alicia - I know that Thanksgiving will be extra difficult for you this year. I just wanted you to know that I still think and pray for your family and your healing every day.

Alicia, we will all be thinking of you and your family tomorrow and hoping that you are able to celebrate the Thanksgiving that I know you have for having had your adorable son for even such a short time as well as the survival of you all.

I do so hope that you are healing both physically and mentally from the horrible trauma of events and I hope that we can plan a meeting sometime in the Spring when you are feeling better and I am more able to get out and about.

Your Hoosier friend, SG/Linda

UPDATE
I spoke with Alicia today and she is preparing to have a small dinner at her house on Friday...They are just not ready yet to be around the whole family and all teh small children running around so It will be more of a oersonal Thanksgivivng for them.
We have been keeping in contact often and today she sounded the best in a while....I still think of her constantly and just wish there was more I could do for her and Matt.
Matt is starting to drive now...that is a good thing becaus e they wont have to depend on someone else fpr transportation. She said they have visited teh car (in inpound) one time and that was all she could take....no need to see it again.

Alicia honey...I am always thinking of you but tomrrow (Thanksgiving) I will say a special prayer for you and I am Thankful for having you as a wonderful new friend! Hang in there! Im here if you need me!

Alicia,

Just wanted you to know that I'm still thinking of you and your family. I hope that you will be able to make it through the holidays. They can be rough without the pain that you are going through. Try to be kind to yourself and know that this is not a pain that goes away overnight.

Once you get around to starting that scrapbook let me know. If I can help in any way I would love to.

I am sorry to hear that you and Matt are still having so many health problems. I hope that they will be resolved soon. I agree with Linda about finding a new eye doctor.

Bless you and your family during this time. You'll be in my heart

Alicia and Family, I just wanted to let you know that you all are still in my prayers. I think of your family daily, and pray that you all find the strength to get through the up coming holidays.

Much Love,
