My moms friend had a son that passed away the other day from Cystic Fibrosis. The last time I saw the friend was when she was pregnant with this child (her only child), but my mom felt we needed to appear at the viewing anyway because of the bond they did have 16 years ago (when he was born).
I am so sorry to hear that.
Yes it is sad. It was hard when she told me and my mom to enjoy my son because she will never have grandkids. I think my heart broke when she said that. 
It must be devastating for her. Do you think she'll be able to overcome the loss?
