I feel for the family of Miss Natasha and I reflect on what my family and I went through some 19 years ago when we suddenly lost my 20 year old brother.

He passed away surrounded by loved ones, after a long illness that was a roller coaster of a ride being well then sick . . . but Natasha Richardson was a shock. So sad.

I have a friend who died in a very similar manner. I have fallen skiing more times than I can count and was able to keep on going. The ski patrol did a stellar job with her but evidently it was her time to leave this earth. It is those who are now left behind that have to struggle now with the loss and grief (especially her two young boys who are now motherless).A past interview of hers was played on the news today and she spoke of how she cherishes each day when she wakes up (this came after her husband had been in a severe motorcycle accident years ago) She was grateful for each day since she knew what could be. It warmed my heart to know that she so loved her life so as brief as it was.Mclndesmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10819930778278618034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-77287317416344097332009-03-19T11:17:00.000-07:002009-03-19T11:17:00.000-07:00Jo, your post is beautiful in the sense that it de...Jo, your post is beautiful in the sense that it deals with all life's important matters, in a simple way. Natasha's death and a 5 year old child's death are truly senseless. These type of deaths remind us not to take life for granted. <BR/>You said it right, that a person is lucky if they have a good life and a dignified death. That in itself is a blessing indeed.<BR/>It's sad times; my prayers go for the loved ones of the family of all 3 members who died recently.introspectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820207734329529880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-6971694876533309602009-03-19T07:46:00.000-07:002009-03-19T07:46:00.000-07:00I too am sad about Natasha Richardson; I saw her i...I too am sad about Natasha Richardson; I saw her in Streetcar Named Desire and she was magnificent, in spite of John C.
