Hi girls, you all know that I am not a religious person, but I am here anyway. A good friend of mine lost her husband yesterday after complications from a car accident he was in earlier this week. She is devastated, of course, and shocked, and I can't even believe it myself. She has two boys, a junior in high school and a sixth grader. The younger one is a good friends Jake's. They live right across the street from me and we have been great neighbors and friends. I spent time with her last night, and I couldn't come up with any words of comfort. It is almost beyond comprehension since it was so sudden. If you could spare any prayers or positive thoughts for my friend and her boys, it would be much appreciated.
I am so sorry to hear this. I wouldn't know what to say either but I'm sure she appreciates you being there even if you don't know what to say. I'm glad that you live so close. Often times there is so much support in those first weeks and it is the weeks after that that become so difficult because everyone goes back to their own lives. I'm glad Jake is good friends with her son and that you guys are friends so you can continue to be there for her. I am so sorry to hear this. :(
How absolutely devastating. I am so sorry for her loss, and yours. Her family will be in my thoughts, and you as well - she is so lucky to have you as a source of support and comfort through this. I'm sure even though you don't know what to say, just your presence and concern means the world to her.
I am so sorry, Alicia. This is such a shocking thing and I cannot imagine how everyone involved is feeling. My heart goes out to you, your friend and her children. I do not think anyone can say something to make this any less painful then it is for all. Just having friends be there for her is what she will need the most in the days to come :( Ugh, so scary.
that is awful, alicia what a horrible thing to have happen to your family. i am praying for her and her family for peace and comfort. as far as talking to her, i would just be there and not worry so much about what you say. nothing you say is going to make her feel better right now, but knowing you are there if she needs you will.
How devastating! I can't imagine. I think that just being there is what she needs - does she have alot of family or other support? she is in my prayers.
