My sister spiraled into an abyss of denial, something she amazingly still carries on with almost 5 years later. It was surreal watching the people around my family in the aftermath of her death. I discovered that some people react to death and others respond to a death and there is a real difference between the two. Not that either is right or wrong, just different. I know it is early for you in all this. Nothing anyone says is going to genuinely make a difference, so yes, Pastor R is right, the safest thing to offer up is, I'm sorry for your loss. Truly. May peace and comfort find your heart soon. Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102396078361525531noreply@blogger.com
