Was pretty hard in our family because not only did we know him, but it stirred up lots of emotions from when we lost our son 4 1/2 years ago. My youngest was 10 when he passed, so probably didn't fully understand losing a brother then. This one was hard in her cuz it seemed like both deaths affected her at once. Was very hard for me because the way my body handles losing my son is by blocking out lots of memories so I can make it through daily life without falling apart (or taking any presciription pills). So having to deal with the death of a young person I know really forced me to think more about the loss of my son.
The bad part is I really wanted to be able to reach out to his parents and help them in any way I could because I've lost a child so I at least kinda understand what they're going through. But it seems impossible for me to really reach out or help them because the grief that I'm blocking out is always right there waiting. All it takes is a second or 2 of thinking about my son and I can't control my emotions. So it's a rough spot for me.
Prayers, and good vibes to you and yours. Bless up, and one love!!

Holy cow. That's tough. I can imagine burying a child. So sorry for your loss. Hang in there.
