I am quite saddened by the news of two different friends today that each had a significant family member pass away recently. One lost a father and the other lost a son. Powerful feelings of somber melancholy came upon me in both instances. The first one because it is a pain I have experienced and the second one because it is a pain I can't even imagine. Death is never a trivial event.
So... what do I do because of all of this? I don't really know. I offered my condolences to the first friend as the news came from him directly. I hope it helped in some small way. My second friend's news came secondhand, though, so I have yet to send my condolences to him. I don't even know what to say... losing somebody at 12 years of age is simply not within my comprehension or experience. I simply feel deeply for his loss.
I hope to feel better in the morning.
