<p>Someone at my school died this morning. He had to cross a busy road to get to his bus stop and was hit by a car, pronounced dead on the scene. I’m feeling disillusioned with death lately. It’s the 5th death of a student or a studen’ts parent this year. Just feeling sad.</p>

<p>Oh, honey, I am so, so sorry that you have had to experience so many tragedies this year. It is such a soul-altering experience…and to have been hit repeatedly with these things can really alter your coping mechanisms and affect your attitudes about everything. Your poor school must be reeling. My sympathies to the student’s family and to all who knew and loved him. ~berurah</p>
<p>Celebrian,
During my college and medical school years I lost 3 friends to accidental deaths (not self inflicted). It was so shaky feeling simultaneously invincible and vulnerable…Hopefully your school will provide plenty of support and you will at least not feel alone…</p>
<p>I am sorry that you are going through all of this on top of your grandmom’s death, too.</p>
<p>Sorry honey. We care for you.

<p>It is a scarry thing when you see death come so unexpectedly to someone of your own age. I know you are sad and probably scared too. Sorry for the loss of your friend…it has affected the entire school I am sure. Make sure give you folks an extra hug for I am sure they are sad and worried also.</p>
<p>It’s very unfair when a young person’s life is cut short, and it’s especially difficult to bear when it happens suddenly. It is very sad.
We all need to slow down and appreciate one another and the life we have been given. It really puts this whole college thing in perspective, doesn’t it?
Take care, celebrian. I’m so sorry to hear about this tragedy.</p>
<p>I’m so sorry to hear of the death of your schoolmate. I know you recently dealt with the death of your grandmother, too. Death is sad no matter the circumstances, but it is especially painful to see the death of a someone young. I hope the school will have extra counselors on hand to talk speak with the students at your school. I lost two close friends during my senior year of high school … one to cancer and one to a drunk driver who had just gotten out of jail that morning on related charges. It’s been 25 years since then, but it still brings tears to my eyes when I think of them. Embrace your friends and family and enjoy the moments you are able to spend with them. Hang in there, celebrian. Death is permanent, but life must go on for those of us who are still here. Stay strong. Hugs to you!</p>
<p>Celebrian cyber hugs to you. So sorry to hear about this.
