Hi LoveAndLight,

What a wretched time for you both. I too have a son called Alex who has various problems but that's for another posting. I can sympathise to an extent as my father died when I was 16 and I remember how bereft I felt, for a long time, heck I still miss him and I'm 54 now!!
Are you involved in a church at all or do you have any family that can offer emotional support for you?

You didn't say how old Alex is, does he know the Lord at all?

You said "it's heartbreaking for me not to know what I really can do for him" well actually you do know and you've done it - PRAYER, and asking others to stand with you through these difficult times. Our heavenly Father knows what you are both going through and I pray for His comfort and wisdom for you and for divine healing for the grief Alex is suffering.

I will keep you in my prayers.

With love in Jesus

David.
