Been thinking about you and Ben. How are you guys doing? How is his family?

Hey girls....
So the viewing is tomorrow, Monday, and the funeral on Tuesday. Everything was delayed because of the autopsy and then getting Andy's body transported back to PA from Virginia, then the Easter holiday. So today pretty much sucked. We went for the family viewing this afternoon, which was just horrible. There is nothing I can say or do for Ben that will make any of this any easier and it just kills me knowing that.
I've been trying to do everything I can for Ben and his parents they past couple of days, and I hate to make this about me, but I'm flat out exhausted.
The only upside of today was that all of Ben's family was together for dinner - ham sandwiches, baked beans and salad. (we knew no one would want to cook, but that everyone should be together, so that was about as easy as it was going to get).
It is the hardest when a young person in our lives passes away, hardest because its not fair and SO unexpected. I have been in a similar situation, and it was rough...I felt like a zombie through the whole thing. It was hardest to be the rock for him. Its normal to feel the way you are feeling. Are you able to (or is your DH) able to take a few days off after the services to relax and take the time to mourn the sudden and tragic loss? I hope you can.
Im glad you guys could spend some time together for the holiday though. I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers!
Thinking of you guys. It is hard not knowing what to say but you just being there for them is probably what they need the most.
Glad the family got to spend some time together even though this is not how you wanted it to happen though.
Thanks for all your kind words and thoughts and prayers. Today was rough, but everyone made it though, so that's the important part, right?
Ben did a wonderful eulogy for his brother, yes he broke down and cried, but he also made everyone laugh with some great stories. I know it was so hard for him and it just killed me seeing him so upset. I wanted to just run up on the alter and hug him.
So now the healing begins. Right now every room in our house has something of Andy's in it (well maybe not the bathroom!), so I know that is going to be hard, but I also know that it should bring some comfort to Ben.
If nothing else has come from this tragedy, it has made me look at the way I lead my life, and made me want to be a better person. A person I would be proud of and want others to look up to. The stories I've heard about Andy have been absolutely amazing and I really wish I had known him the way his close friends did.
thanks again ladies for all your thoughts and prayers!
