Struggling - its not fair.

If there is one thing I have learned in my short time as a school nurse, its that there are some exceptional parents out there raising kind, sweet, level-headed kids. Yesterday, one of those Mom's had a sudden brain aneurysm and was rushed into surgery. She died today. Two of her three kids are in classes with my own. I sat next to her at ball games in the summer. We shared snacks and cheered for our kids. We were the moms who went on field trips. Why?? Why does she not get to kiss her kids good night tonite?? Why do they have to grow up without her? I'm just sick.

I am so sorry. There are no explanations. There is no logic and I can tell you with 100% certainty it is not fair. It's not fair to that loving mother. It's not fair to those left behind her husband, her children, and all her friends

Deepest condolences to her friends and family in this difficult time. (((Hugs)))

My father suffered a sudden unknown ruptured cerebral aneurysm with SAH. The shock, disbelief and sadness was overwhelming

My thought and prayers are with you and that dear family in their loss. There are so many tragedies in this world. I have to often sing the old hymn… "we'll understand it all… bye and bye".

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.

I am sorry, but I have no other words to express. It's not fair, how cruel and unfair life can be at times.

Occurrences like this defy any earthly explanation. Far summed it up for all of us. One day at a time.

I'm very sorry.

My step-father died of a brain aneurysm in 1971. The suddenness is what is so hard to take.

There is no explanation. Nothing I can say will make it better. Thoughts and prayers for you and your friend's family.

I'm very sorry for you and the kids. My grandfather passed away from lung cancer only 3 weeks of being diagnosed. We were told he had 6 months :cry: I was very angry with god and life in general. I hope you get threw this better than I did.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. A school is a community in general, but never more so than when such an unexpected tragedy occurs.
