Hi PB,
First of all, if this is autobiographical, sorry for your losses.
I think most parents who lose children may have the same questions. But three children so young is hard to understand. Maybe adoption is a way to ease the lonely soul.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Congrats for placing in the contest.
Have a great weekend.

Thank you. I'm a bit old to think about adoption. I have learned to cope with the loss over the years. I lost my last son in 1985. I have my furry family to care for.

You're very welcome. Pets are always good for you.

I was angry with God for taking my infant son during heart surgery. A few years later my faith became stronger than it ever was. I still don't understand why He put an infant through all of that. Thank you for sharing this entry with us. Good luck with the contest.

Thank you. I will never understand why he took all of my sons, but I have learned to cope and have regained a measure of faith. I would like to know why before I die.
Comment from Shanbreen
This is such a sad story. You must be devastated having lost three children. I lost a child and I can understand your questioning God for what has happened to you. I wish there was a reason why this happens, but that is not the case and, therefore, I understand you asking God for answers. What really struck me is that you, in spite of your tragedies, still think of others and their tragedies. One day, I am sure, you will, hopefully, find peace even if they don't answer your questions.

Thank you. It was a long time ago, and I have learned to cope with the losses and move on, but I have always wondered why it happened. I don't know if I will ever find the answer in this lifetime, but I will continue asking. Thank you for the six stars.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
And you lost your husband also. I have to tell you, I love your honesty here. So many people (including those on this site) believe that everything God does is for a reason (the Bible says so, right?). I believe God created us, sent Jesus to pay for our bad ways, then went on to bigger and better things. I don't believe he does things like take family members and allow wars. These things happen just because life happens. I think faith is meant as a coping mechanism.
I refuse to believe God is so cruel as to take three of your sons to test you. It is an unfortunate thing that it happened, and I can't imagine your pain. I hope you don't continue to believe that He did this to you; believe that he hears your pain when you speak to Him and that he will offer solace and hope for the future.
Thanks for your honesty here. I think your letter to God stands out because of it.

Thank you, and thanks for sharing your thoughts on this matter. I did blame God for a while. I don't blame him now. I think it was just a sad catastrophe of life, but I keep hoping he will tell me why it happened before I die.

Hi prettybluebirds. I hope you are well
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that.
If this is not you, then you should put in your notes that it's fiction
I can't tell whether you lost three sons or not because I can't tell if it's fiction or not
If this is you, I am sorry profoundly sorry
Losing any child is very stressful and can cause you to lose faith
But losing three of them and having to bury three children is just too much no parents should have to bury their child
That is too much of a cross to bear. I can't imagine.
I enjoyed reading your story
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. Yes, it's me. I put it under nonfiction, but I will check and correct it in case I didn't.

I'm sorry I can't offer you more here because your story is heart-breaking and you write with such sincerity and emotion. I don't blame you at all wanting to know. Who wouldn't? That's a tough challenge to anyone's beliefs. Thank you so much for sharing this very moving read. And good luck! Debbie

Thank you. My last son died in nineteen-eighty-five, and I have learned to cope with the losses, but I have always wondered why it happened. I may never know, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

If you get an answer please share it because I agree with you, nothing can justify your loss, not fair, and not right, prayers for you to cope with the endless grieving.

Maybe God needed them as angels because he saw they were pure souls, Bible says God's ways are not our ways. Their destiny is with him in heaven.
Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
I have lots of questions myself. I have been sick all my life. I wondered why me. I got pregnant on the pill and pregnant using the pill and a rubber while others couldn't get pregnant if the had open house! We are not required to know why, we are asked to accept. :-) Good writing. I am so sorry for your losses. I have no way of knowing or understanding all the pain you have suffered and still bear. I wish you peace. Karen

First of all, my sincere condolences. The loss of one child is hard to come to terms with. The loss of all the must be almost unbearable. It is a fair question in what often seems to be an unfair world.
