That story saddens me so much. I agree with much of what Sciencewoman said. When I worked in adolescent mental health, there were several times when a local teen lost his/her life and there was an odd phenomena among the other teens in the community. Even those from different high schools all seemed to have some sort of connection to that teen. They took it very differently than we tend to take deaths as adults. It was more personalized. I saw that happen when my daughter's friend G passed away too. As Sciencewoman said, keep talking the kids, keep listening to them. They need that more than anything right now. Prayers for all involved from me too.
And, I guess it's time to ask y'all to keep me in your prayers. I'm in the prep phase before my bowel resection on Friday. I wish I could fast forward to a week from now, when things will be starting to get better because I'm really dreading the next several days.
