Rocco didn't survive

I am so sorry to hear about your son, Rocco. I'm new to the Share website so I went back and read your last postings. I've been where you are now, wondering "why" my daughter, Diara, had to die. Wondering what I could have done differently. I will keep you in my prayers.

Dear Chris...

Words are usually so inadequate... especially at first...when we suffer *such* a devastating loss. I believe this is the loss that all parents at some time fear...but some parents are so close upon facing their child's death...that it clutches our hearts until our precious children are well...and we can set death aside for a while...

Chris, I lost my Alex in the NICU too. He was 3 weeks old. There is so much pain...so much sorrow...so *many* emotions to deal with right now. In time...you will sift through each emotion...reflect on it...and figure out what to do with it. It *does* take a tremendous amount of time to feel like your are functioning normally after such a blow...and remember, each person has their own time frame in learning how to live through their grief....

I wish you peace. I wish you rest. I wish you encouragement and support. I wish you a safe place to hide for a few minutes...I wish the sunshine to warm you....the breeze to refresh you...and that God holds you in the palm of his hand.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

Rocco has become something bigger and brighter than any of us know here on earth.

With deep sympathy,

Melissa

Chris,

I'm so very sorry to hear about the passing of Rocco. I can't begin to imagine the pain you and your wife are feeling right now.

I hope in time you can find some peace in your heart. I will keep you and your wife in my prayers in the coming weeks.

Take care,
Karri

So sorry to hear the passing of your precious little boy. I can't imagine how you must be feeling. My prayers are with you and your family. You know that we are willing to talk if you need to... You lost a precious little angel that will forever be in your hearts, and don't forget that you also gained a precious angel that will always watch over you and keep you safe and warm. Once again my prayers are with you and your family during these heartbreaking moments.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family as you say goodbye to Rocco. As you wing your way back to Texas, we'll all be with you in thoughts and spirits.

There are no adequate words to express my true sorrow for what you are going through right now. I can only pray that calm and peace envelope you and may you feel love surrounding you during this very very difficult time. We lost our thirdborn son almost four years ago, as time goes by it does not feel so raw.

I gently remind you that your precious son felt love from you his entire life and will continue to live on in every person you share him with. May you be wrapped in comfort and support.

Thinking of you.

There are no words to make this any eaiser for you and your family. May Gods peace be with you and give you comfort in the days, weeks, and months to come. It is hard to understand why things like this happen to innocent babies, but rest assured their is a greater plan and Rocco will be watching over you and all of your family until the day you are all united again.

I am sorry to hear about your son. I know it is hard sometimes to not feel angry. You just need to remember that god has bigger plans for him in heaven. As someone told me little Rocco is a little star shining down on you now. He is up to protect and comfort you.

I will be thinking of you and your family as you make the journey to send him back to god. God bless you

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your family is in my prayers during this difficult time.

Chris,

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I pray that you have a safe journey back to Texas and find some measure of peace during this very difficult time.

Hugs!

Oh Chris. Such sad news to share. My heart goes out to you and your family. I hope your last moments with Rocco were peaceful. Such a sacred moment you witnessed -- the rising of your angel.

My thoughts are with you today -

Chris,

It is with great sadness today that I read the news of Rocco passing. Through your loving words in sharing your beautiful son, know that he has touched all our hearts. I celebrate his life, even for this short period, because it has tremendous purpose. An angel has touched the hearts of many to remind us how precious and valued we all are. As you journey home to take Rocco, I pray you will find peace one day. Please know that we are all here for you whenever you need to just talk, have someone listen to you, cry or hold your hand through a difficult time. An angel has left us and we share your pain. Even through this difficult time, I thank you for touching our hearts with a mother and father's tremendous love for their son. My prayers are with you and your family, and a special God Bless for Rocco.

CHRIS, HANG IN THERE, THE DAYS ARE LONG AND TOUGH AT TIMES. BUT AS TIME PASSES BY THE SADNESS AND PAIN LESSENS. WHEN YOU NEED TO TALK, MAKE SURE YOU DO, WHEN YOU NEED TO CRY MAKE SURE YOU DO. DONT HOLD ANYTHING INSIDE. YOU WILL ONLY MAKE YOURSELF. I LOST MY SON ON AUG.26,2005. I WAS 36 WEEKS PREGNANT. WHAT A SHOCK! THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT I CAN SAY: DONT BLAME YOURSELF! TAKE CARE & MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU, SANDI
