Very Sad week here in our town
Then in Edmonton Alberta a fellow in his 20's was killed in his truck on the yellowhead. His family all lives here and again known them for years. His step son was my sons best friend when he lived here (harder week for my boy). Then a lady in her 50's had difficulty breathing also flu related and rushed her to the city hospital and never made it. It's just hard to take it all in when we have known all these people forever and not sure... what do you say to all the families? Today was the first day my son was acting his normal self but we do have his friend from Edmonton coming to the house for a hair cut tomorrow and wants to stay and visit. (My idea I was at the house earlier today doing cuts there when he whipped out his pet orange snake and scared his great grandma... then his little sister having a bath and he threw the snake in there with her.  Sooooo he is not in the good books at the moment.) |

| I'm so sorry to hear of your sad week. You son is showing his grief the only way he can, by acting out. It's so hard for a child, especially in our modern society where death of children is uncommon. Our kids just don't have the emotional experience. Be patient.
We hear about the Big Flu back in the early 20th Century but don't think it will ever happen again. It surely could. Are we emotionally ready for such?? Can one ever be? I hope this was just a freak week and life will return to normal.....soon. |
| I am also very sorry that your family has to experiene so much sadness and grief right now. Sometimes, it does seem as though bad things come in clusters. You have a hard time dealing with one thing when the next comes along.
A hug to your family. |
| I'm very sorry for all the sadness that has befallen you and your friends |
| thats horrible. I bet moral is really low where you live. Hugs to you and all the families...xx |
| I'm so sorry about your week. they say bad things happen in 3's. I hope you have no more bad news.

Part of my job at work is preparing for avian (bird) flu. The experts are predicting that when this hits it is going to be similar to the flu in the early 20th century and that 3% of the population will die with 45% of the population catching the flu. Currently there are no vaccines as virus is still in the early stages. It is scary to think what will happen. |
| I am so sorry to hear about your multipal losses that you and your friends have had to endure this week. My heart goes out to all of you as you travel this very sad journey. |
| thanks you all seeing this this morning has lifted me. Thank you first day back to school for the kids and I do hope things go well. The fellow who died in Edmonton has a brother here same age as my daughter and he is taking it very hard... hopefully he not in school for the furnal is tomorrow. The 11 years olds was on Saturday and most of the town was closed that day. It is just a reminder everywhere were you go. |
| Sorry to hear of all the deaths in you inner-circle. Hopefully the school will have counsellors available for the children at school.
This flu season is hitting a little late but is packing quite a punch. When children/teens see one of their own passing from illness or accident it is difficult. It is during these years they are experiencing their immortal phase. It is a difficult phase for them as well as parents. This is why they take more risk as they view these things happening to other's. When it happen's in their inner-circle, it can be difficult to deal with. |

| That's so sad, almost too much to absorb at one time |
| I'm sorry for all your loss. It 'is' especially hard on the kids, and even though they seem like they're fine - sometime's they're not.
It's hard to talk to the adults in your family when you've watched them get upset and cry over the same loss. You don't want to upset them, just like they don't want to upset you. But, young or old, we all need to talk about it, so outside help may be needed. |
