[QUOTE="keista, post: 453303, member: 11965"] There are so many ways to die. So many ways to loose a loved one. The sooner life is cut short, in my opinion the more tragic. But some things, like congenital diseases, and leukemia and such, as tragic as they are, are expected to happen, and give people time to 'prepare'. Others, like violent crimes, seem senseless, but we know, however illogical, there was a motivating factor. Then there are deaths due to reckless behavior, even if the behavior seems 'mild' such as getting a tongue pierced, there is a known risk. What I can't wrap my head around is why a 16 year old girl should die because she went for a swim (following all standard water safety rules) with her family. My heart breaks, and I just cannot find any *cosmic* understanding.
