these sorts of things often change our lives in unpredictable ways..
While tragic, and regrettable, I like to think that good things can come of these sad moments we have in life... for example..
Many years ago, a mate of mines girlfriend jumped from the Westgate bridge... The poor feker was in WA at the time doing mapping for the mines, anyway, come the day of the funeral I got chatting to a fella (who was the boyfriend of the girls mother) who ended up giving me a job where I worked for about 10 years and it totally changed my life.. I wouldnt be here today if it wasnt for that tragic event..
I could tell another story about a mate of mine that died in an unfortunate shooting incident that was both the darkest day, and also the bigest wakeup call I have ever had..
The sudden loss of life of anyone close affects so many people in so many different ways, it is always regrettable, lamentable and tragic.
I only hope that in one fashion or another, you can eventually see a silver lining to that story, they are sometimes hard to find, but often are there to be found after the dust settle.
Sincerely I feel for your loss.
