Sympathizing with a Friend
We went to neighboring town today, my friend just loss her husband from sudden death. The funeral was held in her husband’s hometown, I have heard her husband just complaint for a headache and started vomiting and the rest is history. It was shocking and very painful for her because she isn’t prepared or expecting for it nor their children. It was sudden, it was like a thief that comes through the night and left without a trace. I cannot fathom the pain she felt it was maybe worse than the pain I am carrying within me.
But, thanks to an old school friend because the supposed to be sad and painful meeting became light and full of laughter even for a short while, she surely brought happiness to her, to us, because if it was just me alone it would be hard for me to console her.
