Kerrie--
This is so true. My husband's younger brother was killed in Viet Nam. We
were young parents with young children at the time, as were most of our
friends. Very few had experienced a death in the family, and people pulled back
because they did not know what to say or do.
One day, my husband was on the street in our small town, and met a friend
from work. The man simply said, "I'm so sorry about your brother," and gave
Paul a big hug right on the street. This man had lost all his family in a
Nazi concentration camp--he was the only one who survived the experience. He
knew there was nothing to say, but his actions said everything. This meant so
much to us!
