Bill “Papa” Lee Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 My Son and Daughter-in-law lost their twins babies, I had posted about. You may have noted I have not posted in 10 days. I was in the hospital and am still not well. My Bishop was visiting while I had a diabetic crash, related to other problems. No one else was there so he just gave me a blessing without an anointing. Sick as I am, I am more in pain for my Son and Daughter-in-law, my heart is broken for them.So, prayers please for Joshua and Ashley Lee. More and more, I do not understand this world and my God.

I want to see Caleb again, but afterwards it would not trouble me to leave the troubles of this life. Sometimes I fear I will not see him again. Link to comment
Bill “Papa” Lee Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 I am so sorry Papa.Thank You and remember them when you pray. She is from Utah, and needs her mother to be here. She is so heartbroken. We have offered what comfort we can. I fear it is not enough. Link to comment
katherine the great Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Oh Pa Pa, I'm so sorry! We are all here for you and will pray for your family. Link to comment
Bill “Papa” Lee Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Oh Pa Pa, I'm so sorry! We are all here for you and will pray for your family.I know that is why I ask, and I treasure my friendships here, I am just heart sick right now. My dear Daughter-in-law lost two this time and one once before. Link to comment
Doctor Ninja Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 My condolences. A pain I couldn't even fathom to experience. Hang in there brother.When it is time, genetic testing can be an option for your daughter in law. Hopefully her docs know this, it could be a simple MTHFR mutation that increases the risks of miscarriages, but can be treated. Link to comment
mrmandias Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 My deepest regrets and prayers. Our own daughter died when she was young. It can be very hard.I found some comfort in the writings of others whose children died, but your son and offspring may be differently constituted. You be the judge:http://adrr.com/living/http://timesandseasons.org/index.php/2004/02/emma-caroline-recently-come/http://timesandseasons.org/index.php/2004/03/losing-a-child/http://www.jrganymede.com/2009/05/04/happy-birthday-betsey-pearl/http://tonywoodlief.com/?s=caroline+diedWe will be reunited with these little ones at the last day.

Wants2know Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 How very very sad this news is PaPa. There are really no words to console that kind of loss. Prayers prayers and more prayers for you and your family. W2K Link to comment
Ron Beron Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Being a grandfather myself I can only sit down and cry with you. Hopefully, God can assuage the pain you and your children are feeling. Link to comment
Libs Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I am so very sorry to hear this sad news, PaPa. Please accept my prayers and condolences for you and your dear family. I can't imagine anything more difficult than losing a child...and to lose two! This reminds me of the pain Joseph & Emma went through, when they lost their twins, shortly after birth. So sad. May God shower his love and comfort on all of you. God bless. Link to comment
Daniel Peterson Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I'm terribly sorry to hear of your loss and your own health problems.There's no cheap and easy response to such things -- or, maybe more accurately, any response right now will seem merely cheap and easy -- and no real way for us to "understand" them. But trusting that, in the end, all will be made well again, and even better than ever, will (over time) help with the pain."All your losses will be made up to you in the resurrection," Joseph Smith said. "By the vision of the Almighty I have seen it."That may sound very glib and intangible at the moment. I don't doubt that it will. But, in the longer term, it's infinitely reassuring.You'll be in my prayers. Link to comment

Calm Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 My Son and Daughter-in-law lost their twins babies, I had posted about. I am very sorry to hear this as well as about your own personal health struggles. This was a miscarriage of the mother you announced was expecting two weeks ago and not someone else in your family? Not to downplay it at all as I've had friends and family members who have gone through miscarriages and it can be very, very hard. Link to comment
LDSToronto Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Pa Pa,Don't try to make sense of it, there is no sense in it. I know you have faith; trust in The Redeemer. My heart aches for you.H. Link to comment

My heart aches for you.H.It is in my nature to understand why…I try not to ask it too much but often my heartache causes me to scream, WHY! I guess it is the state of mortality that makes it so.

Now their hearts ache. As a father I am powerless to undo this pain...that it hard for me to bare. I would give my very soul for my children and grandchildren, but I cannot. Link to comment
Daniel2 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I hadn't heard of the loss of your grandchildren until now, Pa Pa. I can't imagine what you and your family are going through, and my heart grieves for you, as we all do. May you and your family find peace and healing.Daniel2 Link to comment
ERayR Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 PaPaMy prayers go out for you and yours. I too, often wonder why. At those times all I can do is fall back on the times when I have received unequivocal assurancece that the gospel is real and true and that some time in the future I will receive answers. Yet I do wonder at times why some seem destined to have a particularly weedy row to hoe. I only know that God is just and he will even things out. It sometimes just seems overwhelming if I do not take time to reflect on those assurances that I have received.You have been privelaged to be the patriarch of a great family. Lift up uour head and call on the strength of your Lord.Your Brother in Christ.Ray Link to comment
