My Nephew Was Killed Today.

B.C. asks from Arlington, TX

While getting in her husband's truck to get some dinner for the family today, my sister, who's kids were supposed to be napping, backed over my 5 year old nephew and killed him. Obviously, we are not handling it well, and I am asking for your prayers. We suffered another loss earlier this week when I miscarried and now this. It's such a dark, dark day. We are a family of stong faith in God, but this is unbearable. Please pray for strength for my sister and her husband and their 6 year old autistic son, and pray that the rest of us siblings can be strong enough to be a rock for my sister and my parents. *tears*

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you everyone for your prayers, kind words and support! It has been a very tough time, but God is good and we will heal.
May Evan Lyle Fisher rest in peace. ♥

My thoughts for peace and love are with you and your family. KLove is a Christian radio station and very uplifting. A similar thing happened to Steven Curtis Chapman (he's a singer/songwriter) and his music might help you along the grieving process.

Oh My God- how absolutely terrible! My heart and prayers go out to you and your family at this difficult time. I can't imagine how such a thing can happen. It just shows us how much we really have to watch these little ones- they can squirm and get out of sight quickly and anything can happen. So sorry to hear about you miscarriage, but don't give up hope. I've had many friends with multiple miscarriages, close to 40 who went on to have healthy babies. Hugs to you and your family.

I heard on the radio that this is one of the first 5 causes of death of children in the US, due to the way the houses/garages are built. I am terribly sorry for your family...you need to be strong for your sister (who is herself a victim of the accident) she and her husband need you right now more than ever! Perhaps there are groups/associations of parents who suffered the same loss and may help? Just an idea. May your faith give you strenght through this hard time. We all will be thinking of you sending you love and support.

Bethany I cannot begin to express how so sorry I am for your family. Please know that even though we are all strangers here, you have support and prayers by the tons and do not hesitate to reach out for women to talk to and be there for you as much as possible.

I can't imagine the heartache and grief you are all going through, and I hope that you all get through such terrible tragedies together as a family. Sometimes things that happen in our lives are just to terrible and cruel to wrap our heads around. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Be strong, and I am sending you a million hugs. I will hug my children a little tighter today.

It is never easy when loved ones are taken from us way too early....but try to find some peace in the fact that you will see them again. You will become pregnant again and the soul that will become your child will fill your heart and lives with peace and hope..God Bless Your Family and Keep Your Faith in God.
