The gloom of death hangs in the air in my town....

Tweet

Today has been a really bad day for all in the town in which I live. For some reason without fail people die in threes. When one person dies, it is a guaranteed fact tht two more will die before the week is out. A few days ago a little boy,6, accidentally shot himself with a nail gun in the heart. He made it to the hospital but later died. His funeral was today. My husbands best friends, dad passed away today of a heart attack/stroke that he had while driving. He crashed into a local bank, but the cause of the crash was the heart attack/stroke they are unsure of which he had. The family had just had a bad fire at their garage last week, and were just recovering from it. Also today a friend of mines wife died. She had a long struggle with alzheimers and was in a home. She passed away from natural causes. So as I sit here typing I count the blessings that my family is safe and my heart aches for all those who have lost their loved ones. I know that no one knows these people in my little town, but I ask that everyone says a prayer for all the people who have lost their loved ones. Is your town, a town of gloom such as mine? How do you console those who have lost loved ones?
