Not Alone

Today I heard a friend of mine lost her husband at the age of 49 of a heart attack. Her son held him in his arms until he died. He was 19 and most likely older today than he was yesterday.

I don't know if it is easier to watch a loved one die over years, or lose them suddenly. I know with Joe we had time to talk, express our love, but still at the end it was not easy. The truth is no matter how it happens it is gut wrenching and painful.

So to everyone who has lost someone dear suddenly, or through a long illness, my thoughts are with you. Especially today for Susan and her son Sean.
