You are all in my prayers. May peace be with you during this painful time. Much love is being sent your way.
You are loved in many many ways. Wish I could be there to support you and show my love for Atticus. You are awesome and I will continue to carry a prayer in my heart for you all.

Our deepest condolences for your loss! Your strength is inspiring in more ways than you will ever know. May god bless!
My heart just hurts for you! Can't imagine how it is. You are such a great example of trust and faith but that doesn't remove the heartache. He is your angel now. MANY prayers coming your way. Please give grandma Lori a hug for me.

You're family is beautiful and Atticus will always be your little boy. He chose you to be his mommy and daddy and that's a great honor. May you continue to have much love and support throughout this difficult week and until you are reunited again with your sweet little guy.
I work with and am a friend of Becky's. I have been praying for Atticus and my heart just breaks for your loss. Your strength is truly inspiring. I pray the Lord will continue to give you strength while you begin to heal and learn how to live without your beautiful angel by your side. Just know he is always watching over you. Much love,
Karen Peer
I'm so sorry. Such a tremendous loss. Your family is in our prayers.

I can't remember the last time the death of someone I've never met affected me so deeply. I am so sad for you, and will keep you in my prayers.
Our prayers are with you that you may receive peace, understanding and mercy. May Atticus' walk with our Heavenly Father be blessed and may you have precious memories to comfort you in the days ahead.
Just wanted to remind you that we are all still here for you. Your silent cheerleaders and shoulders to cry on, praying you through this day and the days to come. xoxo
You know there are those days were I felt like I could explode.Like pain could not go anywhere else in my body.I remember pacing back and forth as my mind raced,fear gripped me.This was almost everyday for quite sometime.I still can experience this from time to time.Its like a panic attack.I am learning this is what intense grief can feel like.So I wanted to use this post for ways to relieve the intense grief even if its just a bit.I can share with you what I have done.I would love other ideas.What may work for me may not work for others.Thank you(:
This is some of the things I have done.I do know that there were days I just had to tie a rope and hold on.The days following a loss you probably wont be in a grief group.You more then likely will be in your home.At least this is my experience.So here is some activity's that did to help:
Cry..it relieved the pressure.When I held it in it was worse.Shower...kinda the same thing as crying I think they go hand in hand.Just stand under the water.Honestly you don't have to do the full regimen you usually do when you shower.The idea of all the work in the shower can overwhelm you.Keep it real simple.Keep your schedule very light....piling to many things on my day to day activity's caused a rebound effect.I would have all these things scheduled and maybe after a few things were done I started having intense grief and would start cancelling plans one after the other.It would cause me more grief.I felt less then and would have more people to answer to.Watch a movie....sometimes finding a favorite movie relived and comforted me.Reading a book...it helped me to lose myself in the book.Eat...just small simple things,nothing that requires really any cooking.Water....very important.Crying and pain will take everything you got.Water helps with migraines.Choose what brings you most comfort even a little...I had a pillow case of my mothers and I put it on my pillow it helped.Surround yourself with candles and good smells...when I experience intense grief honestly all the color in the world died.I needed to create some life around me.
I hope this helps even a little(:
My heart is breaking for you and your lovely family. You have been an inspiration to so many people. Please know that Atticus will live on in all of our hearts. He was an amazing boy who lived an amazingly rich life full of so many experiences that most people don't ever get to enjoy. Most importantly, you gave him LOVE. Many thoughts and prayers from Chicago.
I've been following sweet Atticus's journey and praying for your family. May God's healing and comfort fortify you today and always.
I've been following your blog for awhile! I'm so sorry for you loss. I can't imagine what your going through. Prayers still coming your way. What a strong sweet boy you had. I hope he is at peace in Heavenly Fathers arms!
Dear Hansen's, I am so sorry about the loss of your dear Atticus. I too lost my 4 year old to brain cancer in 1991. Taylor had an astrocytoma which took him quickly. I grieve for you and the pain you will endure in the years to come. I will tell you frankly, It gets better with time, but you'll never be the same. I just want to be honest. No one was with me.
You are all in my prayers and Jeasus is with Atticus.
God Bless You. connie w.
I am so so sorry. I have been following you for months as a link was posted on my BBC board.
I buried my first child and I can very much relate to having to pick out a casket. The whole experience, not wanting to choose one because it is so final. It is just not fair :( Know that he touched many lives and will live on in thoughts of mine and others HUGS
I have been following your blog for some time now. I am so sorry for your loss! Atticus was such a strong little boy, one with a purpose he finished his mission and now is free from the pain he was in. I won't pretend to know the anguish your family is going through just know that we will continue to pray for you as you adjust to a new normal.
Many prayers from Wyoming. I've followed your story from the beginning and my heart is breaking for you.

I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. No one truly knows how you feel except the Lord. Let him give you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
I know you don't know me and we will probably never meet until we are both standing before our Heavenly Father. My name is Ashley Neely and while I am not a mother, I am a daughter. The daughter of a father who battled a cancer similar to Atticus'. I sympathize with your pain and wish with all my heart I had the power to reverse this for you. Nothing I can say will make it different, but please know, I happened to stumble upon your blog about a month ago and have followed along ever since. I check it two or three times a day just to see if you have posted anything new. I feel like I know you and sweet Atticus. I wish I could hug you and not let go until you have cried until your eyes no longer allowed it. My prayers are with you every day and I pray that God wraps his arms around you and you hear Him when He tells you that He needed Atticus in Heaven by His side to help watch over you. Your sweet boy will forever be looking down on you and when you see him in Heaven, it will be as if not a second has passed and he will RUN to you with arms wide open. No more tears of sadness but those only of joy. Please read Jeremiah 29:11 and read it with happiness and not anger, always knowing that God understands and feels your pain as much as you do but his will is never to harm us but to give us hope for our futures. I know my thoughts, prayers and tears will not be enough to ease your pain but I hope you know while I may not understand, I am crying along with you across the country in North Carolina. I truly love you and your family.
This is definitely not something you want to worry about right now, but I thought I should warn you. For the last few funerals in my ward, the bishop has assigned someone to stay at the family's home. Unfortunately, burglars take advantage of the grieving family being gone to the funeral and then rob the house while everyone is at the services. I don't know if this is a problem in your area, but I didn't want your good family to have one more thing to possibly worry about.
Saying "sorry" just does not seem adequate for what you have been through during the past few months. I wish I could think of the appropriate thing to say. Atticus is a blessed boy to be in your forever family.
My heart breaks for your family. So sorry. Atticus was such a sweet little boy, I know that even without meeting him. What a honor to be such a brave, sweet, funny, cute, awesome, kind, precious little guys parents. Cindy you are an amazing mother! You make me a better mom and person by your example. Thanks for sharing your life with us all, it has def made a huge impact on me. I am praying for you and your family for peace and comfort. God bless.
Love and prayers from Utah.
My heart goes out to your family
I can't stop thinking about Atticus and his meeting God in Heaven. He will be watching over you and especially Issac, I suspect. I never met Atticus but had prayed ferociously for you and his well being. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
You guys have been in my thoughts nonstop. I hope the funeral goes beautifully. How I wish I could be there! Love you so much.
this was the post I had been dreading, I am so sorry for your loss. you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thinking and praying for your family today.
Leslie
I've had a prayer in my heart all day asking Heavenly Father to comfort and bless you with faith and strength.
