re: Friends son just passed away in a car accident

I used to worry about what to say in these situations but the best advice was given to me in 2007 when my stepdad of over 25yrs died in a wreck at 52yrs old. A lady came up to me at the wake and said, “It’s not true that time heals the pain but I can tell you that time does dull the jagged edges.”

I’ve never forgotten what she said to me. It was the raw truth and she was so right.
