I would live for only one purpose
This is truly the worst scenario, and as many of us have thought on...How we would go on if this or that happened, and I have always found an answer; this is a very hard one. I would pray hard for God to reveal to me some answer or some revelation about their presence in heaven, and I would expect Him to answer in some way. Who else could provide any comfort if any was possible at all? Then I would, in my unbearable pain, seek God for a purpose to live for. Somehow by losing yourself for helping someone else enables you to go on, and without finding such a purpose, I could not personally find the ability to live.

Azur,
I really hope no fool walks up to her, ever, and says, "You need to get over it and move on". If she punched them in the mouth, it would be well deserved. Some things you do not ever get over. The death of a child or wrose, children, is one of them.

Boy, Azur...That has to be one of the worst scenarios imaginable....
I am not a parent, but I know how my own mom would react. The pain would kill her. I think I would feel the same way. What an awful tragedy. Life can be so cruel...

Hard to say....
most definitely she would consider ending it all right there....but again, its only a thought, one cant say for sure what her reactions would be.

Not even one step to begin with, I'd say, but she will go on.

I cannot even imagine
what that mother is going through, but I'd expect her to be crazed and inconsolable for quite some time.

Of all the things I've been through,
I know I couldn't handle that. I would completely give up. There was a story in TN where a mother and her two children were attacked by a bear while hiking. The bear mauled one child, and the mother attacked the bear. The bear mauled the mother, and then took off after the second child who had run and killed that child. The mother was in critical condition, and I'm not sure about her remaining child. In that situation, I would want to make it for the living child. If the bear killed both of my children, I wouldn't want to continue. But, if I were hiking in the woods I would bring a knife and a gun, and maybe even a taser. Ofcourse, there is no guarantee that a weapon would help, but maybe the noise of the gun might scare off the bear. And I would be concerned about bringing children off the beaten path with wild animals knowing that it is hard for me to keep track of my daughter in a mall. I guess when a person has a child, they have to accept the possibility that something could happen to them. It is the hardest thing to think about. Take care
