Christmas this year was a sad one. Not our sadness. Someone else's. Someone I don't know particularly well, but who I see on a regular basis when she picks up her child from the school where my children go.
Her husband died. Very suddenly, just before Christmas. His heart.
In his forties. Young, kind, chatty, funny, loving and There.
And then he wasn't.
We are all in shock. Such sadness for his wife and child. How DO you start the rest of your life without the person you have chosen to be with for ever?
And how does a little boy get over Daddy never being there again?
It is quite simply unbearable.
I am reluctant to write more as this is their sadness and it feels a little uncomfortable writing about it in any detail.
Send up a prayer for them. Keep them in your thoughts.
Thank you.

My greatest fear.
I will indeed remember them and ask for their comfort, courage, and healing.
I lost two people near to me in December and it really does put things in perspective. You hold your dear ones a little tighter.
I'm sorry for your loss and for theirs.
This has happened to another family I know this Christmas. It is hard. It is awful.
Terribly sad. My husband lost his father when he was young and it is always with him. I do feel for this family and hope they find peace.
Death at anytime is sad but at Christmas it is worse. Very sad.
With love, family and friends around them, they'll come through this.

So sad.
Holding them close in thoughts and prayers.
Thoughts and prayers.
Such sadness....it seems to be happening everywhere.
So sorry. Thinking of them. This is the 5th person I know or have heard of who died unexpectedly over the holidays. Too much. All too young. Too sad. So sorry.
Death seems so much worse when they are young and it is unexpected. Prayers are being sent, and wish the family strength to get through.
Wishing them the very best. It is indeed sad. My mother died when I was six - it was devastating. My heart goes out to his dear little family.
Thank you all so much for these warm and loving comments... blogland is such a good place to be when you're sad. Cant imagine how awful it must be for those two people without their anchor. Thanks for all your love and kindness.
Much appreciated... xxxx
So so sad. Thinking of them and their loss.
