Their only child... i am at a loss for words... - Journals

Twinums's Journal

these people are like family. we are so close. they tell everybody that my girls are their granddaughters.

yesterday, their only child, their son passed away at a young age of 35.

what do i say? what do I do?

i want to be there for them, but i dont want to to be too invasive. i dont want to bother them - bu t i dont want them to feel abandoned.

one is never ready to outlive their child, but this was so unexpected!

i have arranged for somebody to watch my kids today if i were to go - but should i?

can anybody give me some advise?
