Shock!

I just can't believe it... where's the balance in the world! What the hell is going on!

About 8 years (I can't remember exactly when) my godparents lost their son-in-law and their 10 year old grandson, on the same day, in a car accident. In that incident, it was their eldest daughter who's world was shattered, my oldest first cousin. Today I received a phone call informing me that yesterday their youngest daughter (their 6th child) lost her husband in a tragic accident while he was riding a dune buggy through the sand dunes in Do Hai. He leaves behind not only his wife, but his 6 year old son and 4 month old son! I just don't get it!

My cousin in Do Hai has no family with her and had to go an identify her husband's body all alone, with her children in tow. What the!! Are we supposed to make sense of all this? How? Is there really a God?? Her family in Perth is madly trying to organise flights and visas so that 2 of her 4 sisters can go and support her in some way. Support her how?! What can they really do for her?? OH MY GOD!!! Why do these things happen to people, more importantly to the people I love!

I know that there is absolutely nothing I can do for her, absolutely nothing! This feeling of helplessness is numbing... I don't know where to turn, who to talk to, what to do... I know, I'm in shock. I can only imagine what my darling cousin is feeling - OH MY GOD!!

Lost for words now... more later.
