Tragedy

I was just reading some articles on line about the horrific tragedy actress/singer Jennifer Hudson is going through right now. I am an American Idol fanatic and was especially a fan of Jennifer Hudson. I just can't stop thinking about the pain she must be in. When my mom died young from Breast Cancer almost 8 years ago, I thought for sure the pain would kill me. There are still times to this day when I am stopped dead in my tracks and the wind is knocked out of me from a simple memory. A flash of her cold hand the morning I found her, a glimpse of leaning over the casket and kissing her cheek, any seemingly tiny thought that cascades into replaying her last 6 weeks from beginning to end. And then I try to imagine that pain magnified by 3. A mother, brother and nephew dead. How does someone survive that? I can't even begin to imagine. If you are the praying type, please send one out there for her. She'll need all she can get.
