Many who are loony young become good adults. Sad, he did not survive the passage.

Im very sorry for your friend. I hope she can find peace and people will allow her to go through the greiving process her way in her own time.

As a beleiver this is always the most difficult question I can’t answer. Why do bad things happen to any of us? I think playing the “part of the plan” card is a cop out. I usually just admit I don’t know, offer comfort through being there to listen and doing things to help. And yes I also do pray. Ill pray with a person who wants me to or silently to myself when those gestures aren’t a part of the person’s belief system and will offer no comfort or support..

Have wondered the same forever.. Plane crashes, 219 parish - 2 survive - it’s a miracle! Isn’t god wonderful! ..that kinda shit. I’d lost a good boy, my 17 year old cousin & best friend drowned. Straight A student, super athlete and a friend of all … the religious side of his/ our family played it as ‘a sign god had a need for him.’ BS, thought this angry young atheist - humanity had a need for him!

And another reason facebook’s seeing a lot less of me.. ..fuckin fools.
