I just looked out of my window a few seconds ago and saw this hearse drive slowly by with a coffin in the back and all I could think to myself was "How sad for the friends and the family that they've lost their loved one." so close to what is supposed to be such a joyous time.
I for one will be praying that their sorrow and pain is made better.

You are blessed with a kind attitude toward humanity. Go thank your mother and/or whoever brought you up.
Then go on to improve this rotten world we live in.

I don't think it's bad luck ... it is called LIFE. Man I could tell you some stories about mine, but at the end of the day I just took hold of myself and did the best I could with what I had. It was hard work and every now and then somebody pulls the rug out from underneath me, but you get up and get on. Vitamin B and St John's Wort may help to keep you a bit calmer and cope with the whole situation better. It sounds to me like you have a really good woman at your side, don't let her go, be sure you tell her how much she means to you. I don't know why your son has gone off the rails but there must be a reason. Getting to the bottom of it will be a place to start. I know moving is HUGE, but think it could be best for you and your family to make a new start. All the very best to all of you. "Everything will be ok in the end ... if it's not, then it's not the end" =)

I understand your compassion. I think of the families here in Australia (Gold Coast) who have recently lost a19year old son, brother, father or friend to mindless motor bike accidents and one fellow who walked in front of a truck all because his business went broke, leaving a young family behind. Seems such a waste of life, yet others with a disease don't have a choice. Enjoy Christmas with your loved ones and friends and be glad you can.

Yesterday a manic depressive husband, father of three, shot himself and his girlfriend. His wife didn't know about the girlfriend until then. She also didn't know he was off his meds.
Christmas is like every other joy in life, it is to be savored because it is so precious and fleeting.
The person in the hearse may have had a long and full life, happy and gratefull to have lived.
That's all any of us can ask.
So many of us don't even have that much.
Joy is as rare as raisins in a bad rice pudding.

Loosing a loved one never comes at a good time of the year but at Christmas it will always be a reminder every holiday from here on. BUT if the person that passed was a Christian & knew the Lord as their personal Saviour then we should be joyous for them to have "gone home" !

It goes to show that you are a caring, compassionate person and that seems to be a lacking quality these day's. The fact of the matter is that death, currently, is unavoidable. Suicide excluded, we don't know when it will take place, but anytime it happens at Christmas or in June, there is nothing wrong with praying for those in grief.

Losing someone we love is sad but especially at this time of year when everyone is feeling the effects of the holiday season of family togetherness. Not only in death but through divorce also many lives are changed through this month of December. Sometimes the reasons are no so clear why but I have seen and experienced it myself.

Yes. I lost my grandfather on 23rd December 1979, I was just a kid, all excited about Christmas, and then found out on Christmas Eve. His present remained unopened under the tree and stayed there until my mum discretely disposed of it. Sucks.
Even now, I have a drink and raise a toast to him on 23rd December.

I agree. While everyone is celebrating the Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Years Day- trio this poor family has to go through this ordeal. I'll pray for them as well.
In the end, you can't predict death and when it's time for your loved ones to go.

My husband when he was 18 lost both his parents on Dec. 4. His dad just lost it I guess and shot his mother and then himself and my husband is the one who walked in on it and had to call the police. I can't imagine what it was like for him, and don't want to either. He still thinks of it during this time, but time heals all wounds.
