speechless

the thing about grief is that there's no handbook on how to deal with it. there's no instant cure or a pill that suddenly can fix a broken heart. you search for words that will bring comfort and come up empty. every thought is half written, every idea seems pointless in the long run.
and if nothing else, this is just one more reminder of how precious life is. how deep gratitude should run. because so often we take things for granted. we want in places that we have no buisness wanting. it is a reminder of how real this life is. my heart breaks continually for things that i have no control over...

i am equally speechless. i'm very sorry for the loss you are all suffering... and any other words, they do seem a bit awkward and half-hearted. what do you do in situations like this? if roles were reversed-what would you want to hear? it's a very tough thing, and i hope that everyone is pulling through with their chins up, and hearts strong...
