If you have never been faced with the loss of your child, you probably cannot give anyone any real advice on what you would do in some situations.
You cannot tell someone to move on, get over it, it'll be okay, it'll get better, life will work out and you'll be happy.
You cannot say those things. You are not in our shoes. You do not have the basis to say those things if you have never lost a child. So just don't do it. Thats my best advice to you.
You can pray for us. You can bring up our angel anytime you want. You can do things in her memory and you can tell us. You can bring us food. You can do anything you want to remind us she was alive but, you cannot do anything you want to remind us that we lost our child and, we will be okay. Why? Because you absolutely do not know if we will. Even we dont.
But, pray for us and pray for us in a way that God knows exactly who you are praying for.
There are way too many people in this world that think they know everything about death of a child but, they have never experienced it.
I promise you would never want to walk in our shoes and we may not want to walk in yours but, you can walk beside us and help us heal, as long as it takes.
Just be wise when attempting to be a friend to someone just experiencing this especially if you haven't. Its an awful journey and it has many winds and turns and hills and valleys and, it takes forever. Walk beside us and take us for what we are, a bereaved parent.
Deuteronomy 31:8. "Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged."
