One of my friend's children has died. I cannot blog about it, because it is beyond words. And yet I cannot not blog about it, because it is so horrific.
Ephemeral. Fucking shit. We just can't ever get away from our humanness.

I don't know why, but this song is the only one that I can handle right now, and it's the only thing I want to listen to.

Oh my gosh Mel.
This is horrible. I am so so sorry. I honestly can't even handle thoughts of losing a child. Impossible.
Love to you and of course your friends.
Heartbreak.
Oh Melissa this is such sad horrific news. I'm so sorry. I will keep you friends and you in my prayers
I wondered why you hadn't been blogging. Oh, Mel, I have absolutely no idea what to say, but I wanted to say that I am here and caring and loving you. Holding you and your friend in love.
Blessings, Melissa. I'm so very sorry to hear about your friend's loss. Unimaginable.
Melissa - hugs and prayers to you. I've been where you are having walked beside two friends and a sister who have lost children....it is horrific, heartbreaking and incredibly hard. My prayer is that you would receive strength and wisdom Above to be a support to your friend. May Jesus fill your heart with peace, and graciously grant peace to your friends.
Ugh. Mel. I am so sorry for your friend.
I can't even stand the thought of a mother losing her child. The grief is just too crushing.
I will pray for your friend and for you as you navigate how to support her and her family.
I am so sorry. So sorry.
Lord, have mercy.
