It sounds like your son is handling ...Hello, Goak.<br /><br />It sounds like your son is handling his grief and his sense of loss on his own, which is not always a good thing. If your son is still in high school, he could benefit from a counselor school to help guide him through the grieving process. If not, I would suggest looking up a grief support group in your area on the internet that cater to those who have lost loved ones. Also, since it appears that his faith has been shaken a bit because of his father passing away even after he prayed for him to live, a African American minister in your area would be a pretty good support person in that area. Finally, I want you to look information on the seven stages of grief so you can be informed on where your son is emotionally because he is going to eventually come back to you and it would behoove you to there ready and knowledgeable when he does. If all else fails, you can always have him give me a call if you think it will help. 972-854-9497.Rico Rivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609387018986988645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36201255.post-85814495531017702042014-02-04T06:56:30.990-06:002014-02-04T06:56:30.990-06:00Hi my son is 18 years old 3 years ago he lost hisc...Hi my son is 18 years old 3 years ago he lost hiscfathervalthough he prayedd for his fathe to live...his father died .
