Breaks my heart to write about this but I use my blog now to voice what I use to hold inside. I never use to "talk" about my thoughts and I find this helps to straighten things out. The wonderful people that stop to make comments give of themselves and often point out different views and thoughts which I appreciate. But this is just tragic. A young man who I don't even know has passed away. He leaves two young sons and a wife,so sad. The boys are 7 and 10,you need a Dad then,well you always need loving parents. He had felt off for a week so they finally got him to go to the hospital Sunday afternoon. passed away at two am. Monday morning. He is tied to our family in that he is uncle to my dear DIL. She is in shock and so sad for her Mom who lost a brother and for the wife and children. Me too,I can't imagine. So we made a full meal and took it up to the Mom of my DIL. The family lives three hours to the north of us or it would have been nice to do that for them. The funeral will be on Thursday. You want to do something anything to help...but what? He was 45 years old and he had not been ill. He felt off and died of complete organ failure. I guess it hits close to home in many ways. He died of the very same thing my son was in the hospital for. If I could ask,send a little thought that they will be O.K.,I don't know how but vibes for compassion and love to them and peace and healing with time is what I'm sending. So sad. |

Re: You Never Know
Dear Marq,
I'm so sorry to read of your painful experience and the terrible loss of one so young and so unexpectedly. I'm not sure if knowing what I do will help, but it is my belief that whenever I think of someone, or feel compassion for their pain, I'm saying silent prayer for them. When with the person, a simple, I'm sorry for your pain and a hug speaks more than when one says "I know how you feel and goes on about themselves and a loss they had....just my feeling though
Who knows what or why childrenor young adults die young, I've had to stop asking myself why things happen. When you wrote about your dear son's similar illness, was the pain and fear you felt during his illness brought back with the loss of the young father? This type of emotion happens to me at times. Life is so painful and can not be explained so much of the time, yet it is through that pain we come to feel gratitude and joy for each day, the anoying little things of our youth don't bother us, and we find appreciation for the people and times we share who surround us in our daily life.
My heart goes out to you, and your loved ones. I've found with my own grief work, sometimes it is not the present when I've needed help the most, rather down the road for someone to remember with love, or reach out to me with a call on the phone asking how I'm coping, or a card or letter, or a Mass card for prayer that brings me comfort. Now, much fuss and the shock of the event, covers the ability for all to feel the pain/grieve, prayer is always heard, and love is always felt and received. Your love and your words will bring comfort in any manner you are able to give, as this is a common theme here at minti...your wisdom.
