I work front desk at a doctor's office and every day I call back and forth to the business office. They are located about an hour away so we haven't been able to see them face-to-face. We have been planning for a few weeks to get everyone together to do something so we can "meet". As life would have it, something always comes up and we push it back. However this week we will finally meet face-to-face with the women. It's not the way we wanted it, however.
My assboss pulled me aside this morning to tell me one of the ladies son's was killed over the weekend. He was only 21. My heart is breaking for her. I am going to go to her son's "viewing" later this week to support her.
My heart hurts that we have to meet face-to-face on these terms. I can't imagine, nor do I want to, the pain she is going through.
I may have had a shitty Mother's Day this year without having a child, but losing your child on Mother's Day has got to be the absolute worst, ever.
It's funny* how we live life day to day and plan to do things but life buzzes by us, yet death always seems to bring us together.

Very sorry to hear about your co-worker's loss.
It now make my mother's day experience seem so unimportant.
I hope that you are able to comfort her and help her in any way that you can.
I am so sorry for your co-workers loss. She and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I would rather be barren than survive the death of my child. It's not a sadness I want to know.
