I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this. One of the most brutal truths we learn in life is that everything dies. For me, it has been an awful decade watching family and friends die frequently.
You’ve received a very heavy dose in a short period, and I hope you’ll reach out to a trusted friend, relative or professional for support. My first experience with death was my Dad and it shocked me to my core. Every personal death since then has chipped away at my zest for life but I’ve always rebounded. I hope you do, too.

me. It's made me question a lot of things spiritually.

Man, that is the shittiest stretch I have heard in a while...I would be a mess going through that. Unfortunately, you need to be strong in order to support your family. I agree completely with the suggestions of seeking some professional help. Just a couple of sessions will likely do you a world of good. Good luck and I’ll keep you in my prayers tonight.

God will never forsake you but the World has a way of beating us down occasionally.
It is during this time that you need him most. It will get better and we are all praying for you & your family.

I ended with "we love you, we miss you already, but we will never forget you"
Beautiful sentiment

Thank you for sharing. You’re words to others were very kind and encouraging. I felt it.

It was a giant piece of weight lifted off of my chest being able to say that with my arm around my kid and hundreds of family, friends and complete strangers grieving in their own way
That's beautiful. It sounds like you're grieving in a very natural and positive way, as strange as that might sound. I'll pray that you and the families of these guys find peace and continue to move forward.

So sorry to hear about the losses of your family and friends. There really are no words to cure the sadness and grief that one feels during these hard times. Just know that when someone else dies others are rewarded with what really does matter in life. With some people, it will change their perspective on life completely. They are a better person after such a loss of a loved one. I pray that these tragic events change your life to be more complete and that you will love even harder those that are around you. God Bless
