I´ve got the message...

that a friend of mine lost eight persons of his family in two days because of an accident:( I don´t know,how to help Ali and his four children. 
Is.

If you want to know something about someone, listen to your heart.

Dearest Isabella,
 
I am so very sorry for your friend. I can't even imagine losing that many family members all at once. There isn't much one can say when such a tragedy happens but be present.
 
I'll light a candle for your friend and all family members he lost!
 
Much love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Dear Isabella,
That is indeed a terrible thing for your friend.
 
I agree with Edda, all you can do is be there for him.
 
I too will light a candle.
 
With Love,
Jude

Love is the only way

Isabella, I  agree with Edda and Jude.  I am so sorry for their loss.  What can you say?  what can anyone say?   Just maybe to say that many whom they do not even know are praying.  Again, I am so sorry.  And I will light a candle.  Sending love and light, liliwings

No need to spend endless hours, days, weeks searching for the rainbow.  Open your heart and your eyes to see and know you are the rainbow you seek.  Rejoyce in the beauty of the co-creation of you.

Such a loss is mind-boggling. Oh boy.
 
The best thing to do, I think, when dealing with someone who has been struck with such a big loss is to be there quietly, discreetly. You can ask your friend if he needs anything (but before cooking something, for instance, I would ask first because of possible dietary restrictions). Seeing your friend has children, and especially if they are young, maybe caring for them in some way might be useful (say if Ali has to go to a funeral). Just remember children are likely to ask questions, and some are not easy to answer.
 
I will light a candle for your friend immediately.
 
“We should not believe in traditions because they were transmitted from Antiquity and neither should be believe simply because of the authority of our masters or teachers. But we can apply a writing, a doctrine or a statement when the proper understanding we have of it and our inner experience confirm them. Be your own torch, your own refuge, your own Master…”

Ali thanks... and me too.
love, Is.

If you want to know something about someone, listen to your heart.

Dear Isabella, my deepest sympathy to you, your friend and his family.  "We" are always at such a loss to know what to "do" in such situations as these and yet the Holy One knows precisely what is needed.  Perhaps for you to take the quiet time and go back to the place of peace and tranquility that you found the other day and described so beautifully for all of us, perhaps going back there in your heart and you can bring all those who are hurting so deeply in their loss to that place of Divine Peace  and just hold them in the peace and love of the Holy One. 

Line is correct, about being there quietly and discreetly.  From my experience, if the little ones question, a simple "prayer" of "please give me the words they need," will give you what is needed for them.  So often, we feel like it depends on us, yet, if we are open to it and can move the 'me"
out of the way, what is truly needed will be given to us to "do" or say.

Much love and prayer for all of you.

Yesterday is gone forever.Tomorrow may not come. Live Fully each moment today. Look for Good Things that Happen to you Every Day.

Dear Isabella . . .
I am so sorry
to hear of this terrible news . . .
such a loss for your friend, Ali.
I cannot even imagine how he must feel.
My heart is broken for him
and for his children.
 
I think,
that if you send up a little prayer
before answering children's questions
as Betty has said,
the words
and the answers will come.
Quietly being there for Ali,
with your presence and your kind heart
is the best gift that you can give . . .
I light a candle in memory of his lost ones,
and to honour his grief
with love . . .
