My condolences goes out you and those have experienced losses. Yeah I don't know if its the 2003 year thing.
I don't know if its a cycle. Or because of a larger population. Or if I'm going into my silver years more aware of the mortality rate.
I too experience 3 co workers , a paramedic heart attack, Nurse from cancer and a security guard took his life. A aunt from alcoholism recently.
In my work environment I see life, babies born, nasty wrecks and death. And tonight I wanted to go to bed cause today is one of those hard days. I just wanted time out. I said no I need not to carry this to bed with me. Writing seems to help put it out there to the universe and to let go in some way.
The tears are streaming down my face. 3 month old died suspect neglect. And a 3 yr old a car wreck. Been hanging with me all afternoon. I stopped to see my 4 month old granddaughter and 3 1/2 yr old Grand son. And just held them for a long time. Life is so precious . I wonder why certain situations happens life? I have no answers! How helpless children are and vulnerable.
I am angry that the baby was not being taken care of. He did not deserve it!! Some days I wonder? I feel sad!
I am very sorry!!
