    The only thing harder than losing a child is feeling responsible for it. The grief and guilt is so powerful most do not make it through. Accidents are horrible but they happen. Both of these parents have to try and heal. As a parent every fiber in us is to protect our children and when we are unable it is devastating. Bless this family🙏😢

      My son died almost 14 years ago after a placental abruption. He survived birth then died 8 days later in the hospital. I have spent countless hours trying to figure out what caused it despite the doctors telling me it was spontaneous and not my fault. I will never not blame myself. He was in my body and I failed him. Praying for this family because I know how consuming the guilt is. ❤️

    All the mean spirited people coming on here and judging this grieving Father-when your day comes and you’ve had bad judgement… when tragedy falls upon you unexpectantly…I hope you are treated with kindness and compassion so you will finally learn what that feels like. Judging someone who will punish themselves for a mistake they made for the rest of their lives, unintentionally…something they wish every single day that they could take back is something only a desperate, lonely and miserable human being could do. Look in the mirror, and if you see perfection it’s time to buy a different mirror.

      Jesus is an honorable Prophet and Messenger of God,Jesus never said he was God , there’s no verses in bible said Jesus was God ..Jesus "fell on his face and prayed." (Matthew 26:39) If Jesus was God, then would a God fall on his face and pray? And who would he be praying to?

I pray that God continues to surround you and your family with his comfort and peace. There are no words that we say that will make this journey any easier.

    All these people asking how does this happen with so many adults, It’s actually more likely to happen because of False security. It’s more likely for a child to drown with several adults around than just one adult because people believe the other is watching when actually none are watching.

      There is no one to blame here and thats why it's called an accident. The parents and others that were there, I'm sure, blame themselves enough. I read a suggestion to do what pilots do when transferring control of the airplane to the other pilot. One says, "your plane" and the other responds "my plane". What grownups can do is saying your and my with the name of the child, such as "your Johnny" then the other grown up responds "my Johnny".

    My daughter died almost 20 years ago and I attended a grief group for parents for several years. One on the sets of parents lost their son in a similar manner. The father ran over him with their boat. At every meeting where they told their story, I would cry as if it were my own child. ANY way you lose a child is horrific, but for it to be an accident that you were responsible for? It’s maddening. Please dont run this over and over in your mind. Sunny would not want you to lose yourself over her death. You will see her again one day.

    I'm so sorry for the devastating loss of your beautiful, Sunni. Accidents are so difficult to reconcile because of the tendency to blame and bargain and think if only this, or that, a fraction of a second making a difference, or if she'd been two feet to the left or the right. We go through life, trying to do our best, and we make mistakes and make oversights every single day and nobody gets hurt. Very rarely things align in such a way that it brings us to our knees, and I'm so sorry things worked out this way for you and your family. I know Sunni was loved, and she certainly wouldn't want you to blame yourself in the same way that I'm sure you wouldn't want to place this burden on your family if you had been the one to pass in a boating accident. We all want the best for our loved ones. You wanted the best for Sunni and now trust that she wants the best for you as well because she loved you so much. It always goes both ways.

    Very sorry for your loss 😢
    At the end off the day if you cant say anything worth while or nice, dont say anything at all.
    Until you have been in those shoes and then you will know how devastating and traumatic that day would off been for everybody 💔

    I’m so sorry to hear your story about the death of your daughter. My condolences to you and your family. How dreadful. No parent should have to go through such a tragedy.

    You are very brave my friend. I also recently spoke about the passing of my son and daughter. It is never easy to talk about it. It took me 6 years to get on camera and do this. You my friend are stronger than me. An inspiration ❤ heartbreaking

    Nah thats too painful. Thats way too painful. This poor family thats unbearable. How do the family survive that? 💔💔💔There are no words. Knowing she cried for help, being a parent and not being able to save your baby💔💔💔There are no words of comfort. There is no way to help them. Please God💖Please God never let anything like this happen again. May all babies and children of the world be safe and loved💜

    RIP Sunni. Such a tragic loss. This family have to live with the guilt for the rest of their lives.
    This is similar to what happened to Kirsty McColl. Her son was diving, a speed boat was approaching him, Kirsty saw it was coming for him, she managed to push him out of the way and she also got hit by the propellers. It was a rich man’s boat. No one was held accountable.
