Be strong my dear. Such is life. Here today, gone tomorrow. How did it happen? By accident?

One step at a time poster, just take your time to heal, if you are a christian, this is the time to even be closer to God, when you need someone to talk to, talk to God.
All will be well
Has difficult as it is to believe right now, all will be well
God has a reason for everything that happens. Just trust in Him
I am afraid, the only advice I can give you is God and God alone.
It is well with you.
May the Good God be with you Amen

That's terrible! cry cry cry

Do you have extended family members (aunts, uncles, cousins) or even close family friends you could put up with for the time being? It's important that you're not left to go through the loss alone. You need to have people around to support you while you grieve.

Depending on where you're based, you might want to book a couple of sessions with a good and experienced councellor, just to talk through your emotions and pain. Therapy is a good idea.

Pls accept my condolences on the loss of your family. May the good lord see you through this difficult time.

with God by your side you are not alone. Are you into any relationship? If no! You need to start one

It's very sad to hear your story, the truth of the matter is that you require a professional counsellor to help you deal with the situation you are in, its also important for your family and friends to be close to you as possible. In Nigeria i'm not sure if there are bereavement services who deal with such matters, you cannot deal with this on your own, please if you can, try google and search for articles or journals, you will find something at least to help come to terms with your loss, i'm in the UK, when my little sister passed away, we as a family where offered countless support and without that support it would of been diffcult. Get help the sooner the better, I wish you well.

Accept my heartfelt sympathy.May the souls of the departed rest in peace.You need at this trying period to surround yourself with people you love who love you aswell.The temptation/urge to retreat to a secluded area and just live in solitude would come but you'd need to fight it off and try to constantly be around people.Also its time for you to look up to God,have a relationship with him cuz he is the only one that can heal you of the pain and hurts.Take heart dear.The lord would continue to strengthen you.

[b][size=16pt] I am so saddened to read about your tragedy. No word is encouraging or reassuring enough to console you at this present time but, take solace in God - Trust him and above all, remember his promise

"...for I am the Lord, who heals you" Exodus Chpt. 15 v. 26. God Almigty, will heal your pain, trust him.

Yes, he will heal your pain, how? I don't know but for sure his Mighty Right Hand will miraculously, touch you though others who will help you come through this red sea - believe it!

Please, find below a hymn composed by a man called Horatio Spafford, who like you went through many tragedies in his life - losing money/investments, loss of his only son, loss of 3 daughters in the occean through ship collusion yet he was a man of God.

Remember, satan will afflict you more when you're closer to God than when you're not - always remember that therefore, arm yourself with the Spirit of God through constant positive PRAYERS.

May I now leave you with this song that many people find comforting at times of trials as this.

Soak yourself up in it (if you know the tune and if you don't find someone who knows), it will help you cope.

Yes, you lost your family but you survived, and that can be nothing more than, a miracle. It is well!!!
Praise God for your life - Halelujah!

It Is Well With My Soul

1 When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

3 My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

4 For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

5 But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.

6 And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

Horatio Spafford [/size][/b]

@poster, maybe you should explain how you lost them.....or what that even means sef?
Are they dead? How did they die?
Or are they missing? How did they get missing?
Or were you disowned?....
It would be nice if you were clearer.
