I'm so sorry to hear that Xthren. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Seeing loved ones go through a battle with cancer (and going through it with them) is so difficult, and even knowing they might ultimately lose that battle doesn't make it any easier when they do.
 
He can rest in peace in the Heaven now.

I prayed for him. Now I pray the God to give you and your family strength.

We all serve our times in this life, and I believe we'll meet altogether in a place one day. And the time between their passing and that day won't be as long as to them as it might feel to us in our remaining days.


Live the life with full intensity, make every moment worth while. That's what he would want you to do.
 
Awww, no man. I cannot even imagine...my deepest sympathies and condolences. You are in my prayers man. I am so sorry.
 
I'm so sorry, X. I'm happy for Jake as he is in God's perfect place. My prayers for you and your family. My heart hurts..
 
so very sorry to hear this - I hope you and your family find peace now that his ordeal is over


a dear friend of mine lost her son Jake at age 24 last August due to a heart condition - both she and her husband have found support groups to be very helpful in the grieving process, though they don't participate in the same groups because they each handle their grief in different ways.

this is an event that my friend attended and found very inspiring - - I heard about through another friend who lost her 17 year old son to suicide six years ago. It's a national organization, though I'm not sure if all the chapters hold their event on the same date.

I know it's probably too early to start thinking about all this, but keep it in the back of your mind for the day you're ready.
 
I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope you're able to stay strong.
 
I'm really, really sorry. For what it's worth, I've read your blog and I can tell that you are a loving father that loves his son very much. Jake knew that.
 
Cancer is the worst thing ever. He is free from all the pain he's been enduring for the last few years. Sorry to hear about your loss.
 
That's horrible. I liked clicking on your blog every once in awhile when I see your posts and seeing what progress he was making while hoping for the best. But since you seem to be a man of faith, perhaps he is making the ultimate progression now. May God comfort you.
 
Words can't even express how sorry I am for your loss. My sincere condolences go out to you and your family.
 
I'm with YB and the others, words are not adequate to express my sympathy. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
 
Thanks for sharing your sons journey with us Xthren. Your blog and your example of staying strong as a family and embracing the love and support from your community will offer comfort to those going through similar challenges.
 
It seems like such an inadequate expression, but you have my sincere condolences. I'm sure he'll be there to greet you in a joyous reunion, though, as the song goes "by and by".

Daddy sang bass,
Mama sang tenor.
Me and little brother would join right in there.
Cause singing seems to help a troubled soul.
One of these days and it won't be long,
I'll rejoin them in a song.
I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne.
Oh, no the circle won't be broken.
By and by, Lord, by and by.
