Tragic accident

[dzneprincess]

Please hold your children tight and remind them of safety rules!
My SIL 9 year old step son was tragically killed on saturday night on accident. He went into a storage shed and used a chair to stand on. I guess the chair tipped over and he got got up in a chain of some sort and was accidentally hung. My poor SILs dh found him like this and sadly it was too late.
I can not even imagine what they are going thru nor do I know what to do for them. The whole thing is just so sad. We do not know when the funeral will be yet.
My 9 year old DS was buds with him and I am not real sure how he is taking it. So far he seems ok but with kids you never can tell.
I am just so saddened for everyone involved. I can't get it out of my mind. I wish I knew how to help them other than saying I'm sorry.

OMG How terrible.
I'm so sorry for you family's loss.
Do keep a close eye on your DS. He'll deal with it in his own way and in his own time, but he may need you to be there when it really "hits home". Things like this really remind you of how fragile life really is.

That happened here in our hometown. I have to admit I was flabbergasted, you don't think about things like that happening. This is the link to what the newspaper is reporting.

My condolences

I am sure my SIL and her DH aprreciate your well wishes and prayers. Thank you all.
Does anyone any inkling of what we can do to help them in this horrible time? My mind is blank in that regards and all I can think of is just how sad it is. I would appreciate any ideas you all may have.

How about setting up a memorial fund for him, perhaps something he was interested in: If he liked box car racing- maybe hold an annual race once a year in his honor. If he was a Boy Scout- maybe have a fundraiser to gain awareness of safety issues. Use this to educate kids about home dagers...
Keep his memory alive, by saving lives through education.

I'm sorry for your family's loss. Somehow that doesn't seem like enough to say but my prayers are with you.
