The last few days have been particularly rough and I know this is a safe place to vent. Over the weekend I have witnessed the death of a young woman who has passed long before her time. The scream that came from her mother I will never forget. The look of terror, vulnerability, and sadness in her eyes has remained with me. I have witnessed deaths that have been long coming as well as sudden, but for some reason I can't forget this one. Maybe I don't want to forget. I do not have children but I can only begin to imagine the pain that will consume this mother for years to come.
