Grief shared

Grief shared

Who would have imagined that some cruel fate might abruptly
snatch away the life of a young man like Peter? Bob Hobman's
narration (Feb. 24) of the circumstances under which Peter, a
British tourist, died at the hands of unknown antisocial elements
in Bali, is very moving. May Peter's soul rest in peace.

We understand the shock and sorrow the parents must have felt
on hearing the news of their beloved son's untimely death. Like
all parents, they must have dreamed of a bright future for their
dear son. May God, by His Divine Grace, grant them sufficient
strength and courage to come to terms with the tragic loss of
their only son.

God only knows why such terrible things should happen in one's
life. It is evident that "while today belongs to us, tomorrow
belongs to God".

Bob Hobman, please do convey our deepest sympathy and sincere
condolences to Peter's parents. Grief shared is halved, you know.
It may be of some comfort and consolation for them to learn that
there are people in Indonesia who share their distress and grief
over a dear one gone to rest.
