Even for "the believer," who believes that death is only the gateway for being fully united with Christ, ...death is still weird. especially when it's unexpected.
As of last week, a college friend and her family are having to weather her father's taking of his life.
A few weeks before that, another friend lost one of her best friends to a lake accident.
Months before that, my pastor's sweet life ended her battle with a brain tumor.
About a year before that, my cousin's life was taken in a car accident.
And I just got a random message from the younger sister of my childhood best friend, who passed away from a severe asthma attack shortly after I moved across the country. Clearly, over a decade later, her sister is still processing the loss of Jennifer (naturally).
(huh.. clearly, over a decade later, I am too.)
I kind of feel like I'm in this exclusive club for people who have known and loved other people who died in unexpected ways, "before their time."
All I can say for now is, it's a weird club! It truly is.
