Dear Befuddled,
I'm sorry about this. ' Sending you hugs.

It's weird to hear of this so long after it happened and it is weird that you are not really part of the family at the moment.

It's also hard to hear of any death. And I think that for many of us, each death reminds us of the others who have died before and also makes us think of our own mortality.

'Not sure if I am making sense.
'Sending you good vibes and good wishes along with the hugs.

Mari
