From my own experience with grief,I dont know how people can say with a straight face that traumatic loss is gods plan. It seems so insulting to hear that, when someone you love is plucked away before their life truly begins. My brother died at 23, i dont really remember much from the week of the death and funeral but i can still feel the emotions. I guess that shows u that you should write stuff down. At my brothers funeral, some girl from high school came and sat down next to me and rubbed my knee and thigh telling me how sorry she was, while my girlfriend was sitting next to me at the same time. It was owsome.

This resonated with me deeply and made me cry. Beautifully written. Death is the only thing that happens to us all yet the subject we know the littlest about
