Death, as natural a part of life as birth, is always a shock when it comes to friends and family members. But it is also when it happens close to home that we pay attention, that our hearts are inevitably pried open, and questions flood our minds. Questions that could never be answered, that have no answers. Nevertheless, it is the questioning and the enquiry that follows that has the potential to change the course of our lives forever. I feel infinitely blessed to have been given such an opportunity, and I bow to those people who have been a part of this gift that death has brought to us.
