Beginning last Thursday people I care about have all lost someone that meant something to them in various degrees. From soul deep love to grand admiration.

One Mother has had to deal with having her child brutally taken from her because of another's selfishness and disregard for human life in a moment of anger.

One Mother has had to deal with a freak of nature taking her child and there was nothing she could have done to prevent it.

One Woman has lost a husband who she has graciously shared with the world of Sci Fi to a failing heart.

To say that all of these people will be missed greatly is a vast understatement. My heart is heavy with all of these losses and my mind has not really processed everything and found that proper compartment to yet file it into. So I just keep them in my thoughts until that time comes.

I use humor to move through these times. Distraction and escapism. It never changes any of what is really going on in my heart but it eases the feelings that begin to get too heavy and begin to make you feel overwhelmed.

For the two women, who are my friends and have both lost a child, I can only be there offering my arms for hug. My heart bleeds and my tears are shed because I hurt for them and share in their pain. Time is the universal healer.

For the fans of Don Davis, I share in your grief that a wonderful man has been lost from this world as well as from the world of artistic talent. My prayers and my heart go out to his family as well.

May all of these wonderful souls that have left us too soon rest in peace.

"Being there" is the best thing you can do for your friends ...but make sure you take care of *your* feelings too.

Words seem inadequate when one has lost a child or a husband. As Baggie has said, being there is probably the best you can do at this point. Your hugs are unselfishly given and warm the heart.
