100 Percent Chance of Getting Struck by a Meteorite

My sister died today in a car accident.

I know, at least, that in six years it won’t hurt quite as much as it does tonight, although I will miss her every single day.

And how, Oh Best Beloved, do I know that?

Because six years ago my father was killed in a car accident.

    Oh Judy, damn, just damn damn damn. There really is no rhyme or reason to life, is there. My deepest sympathies to you and your family & friends.

    Damn.

    Judy
    I am so sorry hon. I’m afraid I can’t say much more than that. But please know I am thinking about you and your family. You are strong. You have been through a lot and you will survive. But it really sucks. And I am really sorry.

    My sincerest condolences to you and your family. I wish there was something that a nearly complete stranger could do or say to make it better, but, alas I’m just as helpless as the next.

    I hope you can look to the heavens, not for that meteorite with your name on it, but, instead to see the angels of the departed; knowing they are in a better place now.

    My condolences on your loss. I’m rather at a loss for words, but having lost family members myself, I know something of what you feel.

    Judy, I am so sorry for your loss.

    You and your family will be in my prayers.

    You are right about time lessening the pain, but it never really go’s away.

    Very sorry to hear about your loss. You’ll be especially high in my thoughts for a while.

    My mom died suddenly 8 years ago. My dad asked me to do a eulogy at her funeral. At first I didn’t see how I could, but after thionking about it for a while I just told a whole bunch of our silly, family stories. Several people told me later that they were happy they could laugh at a funeral between the tears.

    Remember the good times and the fun I’m guessing that’s what your sister might want.
