Sherry,

I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts. If you need someone to talk to, please know your friends in the gather community are here. I wish we could do more.

How old was your son?

He was so young. Has he been on dialysis for years?

I added a link to this post in the Today on Gather post so the gather community would be aware of it.

Sherry, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a child is something we parents are never prepared for. God bless you and help you to experience overwhelming peace and the knowledge that you are not alone. Praying for you.

OMG I am so sorry to hear this. We know a Justin that was going to have a kidney given to him from his father that was having dialisis this week I believe. Prayers out to your family.

So very sorry to hear this! I lost my 6 year-old great nephew about a year ago, and his parents and grandparents were devastated. It is so sad for a parent to lose a child. Hope you get through it okay!
