Loss of a Friend

I scrapped what I was going to post about today because of the loss of a blogger friend.

Jane Kennedy Sutton, author of The Ride, died last Friday. She was on blog hiatus due to health reasons and I’d hoped she’d back soon. Her husband was kind enough Monday to post about her passing. Prayers for her family as they deal with this difficult time.

Losing a friend is difficult, even if it’s someone we’ve never met. I can’t imagine how her husband must feel. My wife is my life and I wouldn’t know what to do without her.

And if something happened to me, would she have the presence of mind to let everyone know? Or would everyone just wonder? Last September, Cassandra Jade stopped blogging in the middle of her book tour. Nothing else was ever posted and emails were not returned. It’s sad that we’ll never know what happened.

We have such precious little time here. I guess that’s why in Ephesians 4:26 is says “Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.” We don’t want our last words to anyone be anything but positive.

Anyone else been through this? I guess I just don’t handle death well. Really, who does?
