Jenny, Gloria, and family,
I just received the most recent edition of The Monitor and was saddened to see Jim's name in it. You are all in my thoughts and prayers!!! There isn't anything more painful or difficult to bear than the loss of a child. I will continue to pray that you each find some measure of peace as you struggle through the days ahead.

Jenny and Family,
I am a fellow HAE patient. I have been suffering for over 20 yrs. Just Diag. last year. As you know VERY frustrating! My heart goes out to you and your family. I just have to believe from my religion that Jim is in a better place and we believe you were chosen especially to be blessed by him and to learn from him and wht a special set of parents to be chosen to take care of him for his wonderful, special 19yrs. I have 3 kids and hope NONE of get it. It's horrible, especially when no one even doctors don't want to fully understand, or even try.
Our prayers are with you and he is your gaurdian angel and you will learn from his strength and bravery!!
God Bless you all!!
Take care and have peace eventually!!
Love,
The Shireen Steadman Family in Utah

I grieve with you during your time of tragic loss. Some people accomplish more in a short period of life than others during decades, and it sounds like Jim was one of these people. I hope you find comfort somewhere and can recollect the wonderful memories you have of your first-born. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Jenny, my heart goes out to you and your family at this time of deep sorrow. I wish I had been able to know the both of you but never had the opportunity. I was aware of Jim's condition but not that it was so serious. I'm Steven Green's aunt, his mother's sister and I live in High Point, NC. God bless you.

Jenny and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I find it difficult to find the words to express what I want to say. Jenny you are a wonderful advocate for your son & HAEA. Every ounce of energy you had since finding out his diagnosis has been used to strengthen his life. You gave him so much. I am greatful that I know you. I am sure that these words can't do much to lessen the pain you are feeling....but please always remember that I am here for you.

Love,

Jenny,
We have lost an HAE hero. By God's grace, AND the mother He gave to him, Jim overcame so much and accomplished so much in his 19 years. Please know that our hearts are aching for you in your time of sorrow. We all love you.

My deepest sympathy to this unbelievable tragic loss for the Bain family. I too suffer with HAE. It is very difficult to understand why things like this happen to such good people. Please know you all will be in my thoughts and prayers now, and over the many days to come.

Sincerely,
Melissa Savor, HAE patient in Garland Texas

Jenny, Michael, Justin, David and Michael T,
We are soooo sorry for your loss of your 1st born child. You are a wonderful and dedicated Mom. You researched his rare disease HAD, you went to conventions and tried to educate yourself every way available/possible, And you educated us and others about his problem.
I am so glad that we saw Jim in March, when our Mom died. He was so sweet and offered to do anything and everything to help. I saw his grief and sadness, too. Now, God will keep him safe and heathly and happy as you did for all those years. we love all of you and our thoughts and prayers and shoulders are here whenever you need us.
love,
Christie & Art

My deepest sympathy and many prayers are with the entire Bain family. I pray God will be with each of you now and in the coming days ahead and comfort your hearts and give you peace. I pray the wonderful and special memories of Jim will in time somehow ease your pain. I did not know Jim, but he must have been a very special person.
May God continue to bless you.

I have been reading the post thank you for your prayers, support, and encouragement. I never thought I could ever hurt like this and still be breathing all at the same time.
I use to tell Jim that I was glad God gave him to me and he WAS the gift.
I just want everyone to know that I believe Jim was sent here for his brief time to teach us in life and he will continue that legacy in death. I am proud and honored that God saw fit for me to be his Mom and I'm proud of him and admire him for all the obstacles in life that he overcame including death! I have always heard that God cries when we're born and rejoices when we come home. I also know that when you know where something is, then it's not lost and I know he's in heaven celebrating in his homecoming. I take comfort in knowing that my baby is at peace and will never hurt or be sick again.
Not sure how I get through this but I intend at some point to leave this sorrowful painful place behind and get back into the joy of Jim and celebrate the 19 yrs I was priveldge to dwell on this earth with him.
Thanks again for your prayers and support.
God Bless
