Really Sad News (Geoff Downes)

[bill g]

i'm not attacking geoff. i am saying that promises of life after death and bible quotes are not comforting but the complete opposite. let the man feel his grief, support him, but don't foist delusional nonsense on him.

I personally find this verse very comforting. Anyway, not our business, that is between Mysterious Traveller and Mr. Downes, to make that call.

I find the best thing to say in death is basically nothing. Because there is nothing anyone can say to make the situation better. Everyone has there own way of dealing with death and I find it's best to really say nothing. Just offer your support, you company, and your assistance.

Dude, I'd quit while you're ahead.

Er...well..not ahead....but, stop digging.

Absolutely heart-wrenching. All the best to Geoff and his family.

There is nobody in a family that can cause the most stunning depth of grief as the premature loss of a child. I lost both my mother and father last year but they were both almost 90. My grief was very real but you had a clear sense the both had very full lives. I digress, my sincere condolences to Mr. Downes and his family.

Wonderful to see the above....saying nothing is the essence sometimes.
