In loving memory of Matthew Robert Loven

Before I begin, I don't expect your pity. I'm posting this here because I need to tell somebody, and your the only ones that I feel I can.

Today my mom received a phone call from my sister. My 3 year old nephew Matthew had drowned. We both started crying, and then 30 minutes later she got another call that he didn't make it. I loved my nephew almost like a baby brother; he was so cute. I just don't understand why he had to be taken away from the world at 3. He was such a good kid; he hadn't even had the chance to experience school. I know you probably don't care, but I felt I had to post this because it would help ease the pain a little bit.

Nah, we care. We just really aren't able to do more than give you our best wishes.

Isn't that all anybody can do?

Anyway, I'm really sorry for your loss. I don't know what this would feel like, since I haven't really had anyone I knew die. (Well, my mom's parents died, but we only saw them a couple of times a year because they lived in the general vicinity of San Francisco, and we live south of LA, which means I didn't really feel the impact)

Thats horrible man. Im not very religious but he'll be in my thoughts dude. Also just because we're on a the internet doesnt mean we arent people; if you need someone to talk to man, just lmk and ill be glad to chat with you about anything dude. I wish your family the best.
 
I moved this out of the rec room; that's a spammy silly place and this is too serious for it.
I'm very sorry for your family's loss. It's not easy losing a loved one; especially a child.

I'm so sorry. It doesn't make it hurt any less, but I believe he's in a better place. I know what you're going through, so if you need someone to talk to feel free to send me a PM.
 
Whoa thats terrible. Drowning, what a way to go. I have a seven year old brother myself and would be devastated if he had died. But this is meant to console you not reveal my life. Well I hope that you can look on to the rest of your life and enjoy it.
 
Aw, man. That's awful. I can't imagine what your family must be going through right now. Nobody should ever have to experience losing their kid.

I wish I could do more, but unfortunately I can only offer my condolences. Best of luck to you and your family.
 
Sorry this had to happen to your family. So sorry for your loss. My wishes to you and your family. Again, if there is anything, let us know. ):
 
...my best friend's mother nearly drowned when she was a child, she blacked out and doesn't remember being resuscitated... but she always told us it was one of the most peaceful experiences of her life, as if she was just falling asleep, hopefully it was the same for him.

Best wishes to you and your family.
