I just read this thread and it is heartbreaking. I wish you and yours (and all who mentioned the loss of a loved one in this thread) peace and comfort.

My brother's eldest son (the first of my parents' grandchildren) was killed in a small plane crash in August 2002. He was only 23. Since I am the eldest of my siblings and he was the eldest of his, we shared a special bond and would speak about that often. To this day, I still tear up a bit thinking of him or listening to him sing on a CD that I have.

His death still upsets me and I'm only his uncle. I cannot imagine what my brother, his wife, and other children must feel. Clearly, they are all permanently damaged by the death. And each of them deal with it in their own way.

I have one child, a son who will turn 33 next month. I do not know what I would do if something happened to him.

God Bless You and yours.
