Tragedy Strikes My Family Hard...

......with four senseless deaths 
My neice's sixteen year old son AJ, his step-father(my neice and him had only been married for two months), step sister(age 19) and step-brother(age 17) were killed in a terrible accident . They were on their way to a graduation in North Carolina and while at a stop light behind an eighteen wheeler, another eighteen wheeler coming up behind them didn't stop and sandwiched the car between the two trucks...they were killed instantly. The police said that when they got to the scene, they couldn't even recognize the make of the car and told the mothers not to come and id the bodies because they were unidentifiable. The accident has been on the news just about every day and in the papers...when will they go away and leave us to grieve privately 
.
All four funerals were held Monday together and the reporters showed up and took photos of the four caskets, the two mothers and some family members which they put in the papers yesterday . Whatever happened to people respecting the grieving families? are they that desperate to sell papers 
?
AJ was buried here at home yesterday. He was a trully wonderful young man. Everyone who came in touch with him immediately took a liking to him. I keep thinking about him and his first baby steps, talking and walking, it is so hard to believe that he is gone His step-father, step-sister and step-brother were taken to North Carolina yesterday to be buried in their home town. I feel so sorry for the other mother also, they were her only two children and both were taken from her at the same time . My neice has a little girl who is ten.
We are still waiting on the police's final report to know why the driver didn't stop. When the reporters tried to interview him, he stated that "I don't have anything to say"...hello!!! what about saying "I am sorry" and show some kind of sympathy
It is raining here today and it feels like it is their tears coming down upon us. Yesterday, when AJ was buried here at home, the sun was shining and we could feel his smiles that were constantly on his lips.
I Stephanie, I can't even imagine what your family is going through. I am so sorry and I wish there were words that could be said to make some of the grief a little lighter. Just know that we are all praying and thinking of you and yours. You are right, news and media people show no respect when they think they can get a story. My husband is a life flight pilot and sees these types of tragedies almost daily. I'm so sorry this has happened to your family and again, know you have shoulders to cry on and ears to listen here.

I am very sorry for your family and the other families loss . .. hopefully justice will be served accordingly and that it will help with your grieving process ..
Oh Stephanie, I can't imagine what your going through. My heart breaks for your family. Such pain should not be endured by a mother. Please remember even in this troubled time God is with you, and your CC family is here to listen.
If you need to talk, I am here...PM me.
I am so sorry this has happened to your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Thanks Everyone,
My family tells me all the time that I am one of the strongest in the family but today, I feel so weak and helpless...maybe it's because of the rain
My neice, Barbara Ann, left yesterday after the burial to go back home and I wish that I could still be with her at this time. It still has not fully hit her yet...it's like she is in a dream and will wake up to find AJ and Oris(her husband) with her at home.
Thanks so much Doug for that wonderful saying because I do believe in the resurrection and give thanks that he will return again.
Stephanie, my prayers are with you...please try to remember they are in a much better place that we are.
What a terrible tragedy I will be praying for you and your family.
Stephanie,
I am so sadened by what has happened. May God bless you & your family during this time 
(((hugs)))

Wow, reading this made tears come to my eyes. I can't believe what you must be going through. I am so sorry for your loss!!! You must be weak with grief. The only advice I have for you is to pray. I hope you and your family know the Lord because there is no greater comfort than to know that your loved ones are being cradled in HIS arms right now. They are home. There is nothing that could explain why this has happened and nothing anyone can say to make your grief go away. Just know that you are in my prayers along with many other's prayers. Don't lose sight of the Lord. He loves you and you are NOT alone! Look to Him for comfort, He will give it to you.
Sincerely, Anna
My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
