My son drow...I also want to say that I understand. My son drown on a family camping trip to the lake. I blame myself as well. It is normal for a mother to take full responsibility since we feel it our sole duty to protect our children from harm.<br /><br />I agree with Karol...it was no accident to God. But, even knowing that in my heart...I still struggle with my thoughts every day. "Was it really a preventable accident caused by our human imperfectness?" or "Was God's hand in it all the time?". I admit that I despair and blame myself and others most often. Desperately I want to know that God had it all ordained. I pray that it is true.<br /><br />Thank you for your honesty...you have a friend in me...whenever you need it and whatever you need.<br /><br />Angie<br />www.missingmarkallen.blogspot.comMark's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14603130027027062924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7197335555104422315.post-30501987792254998432010-04-10T22:27:39.402-04:002010-04-10T22:27:39.402-04:00Just wanted to say that I understand. I struggle ...Just wanted to say that I understand. I struggle with blaming myself also. There were several of us at home at the time of my Laynee's accident yet I blame none of the others, only myself. I too try desperately to cling to the knowledge that it wasn't an accident for God. For some reason I will not understand until I get to heaven, He wanted her with him. <br />Praying for peace for you<br />KarolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375070245303834905noreply@blogger.com
