Hi Carole! It is heartbreaking for the family of the little girl who died and for her mother who died! I can’t imagine. There is nothing that one can really say to them but to be there and be her friend is probably the greatest thing that you can do for her. I had a work friend whose wife died of cancer and 6 months later he went to wake up his 18 year old son, his only child and he was dead. His appendix had bust during the night and he had passed away. I often looked at my friend and wondered where he found the strength to go on. I would sit and listen to him talk about them and I always made a point to say hi to him everyday and ask him how he was doing. It is hard sometimes to understand why such tragedies happen. I am glad that you didn’t gamble and opted for a blizzard instead. Take care!
