It’s such a horrible shame…to die so young. May she rest in peace
I saw this earlier.
Liam is a big boy, he’ll figure something out. Their sons have neither age or experience on their side. It is to them my heart goes out…
May she rest in peace.
Slan,

Yes, I followed that yesterday.
Wow, life is tricky.
So is skiing.
Yes. I fell plenty the couple of times I tried it. No ill consequences. The circumstances are so strange in this case.
Mine too. I just can’t even imagine.
A student of mine skied into a light pole on Mont Tremblant during winter break years ago. Broke his neck. He survived and even walked again after wearing a halo for about three months and then undergoing cervical fusion surgery. Downhill is dangerous, I wonder if she was wearing a helmet? Such a sad thing to happen.
No, she was not. But it appeared to be a minor, completely unspectacular fall on the beginner slope, from which she walked away.
There is speculation that there was possibly a pre-existing condition which made an internal bleed more likely, but I guess anything
can happen, anytime.
Ask Sonny Bono.
She refused the paramedics’ attention on the slope. Everyone there is pretty freaked out. She was moved back home just to give her family time to say goodbye to her. A tragedy.

I suspect Liam Neson is now at a higher risk of early death as is sometimes the case in these situations. Hope he hangs on for their kid’s sake.
what data is there for this?
I realized today that March is Brain Injury Awareness Month.
I don’t like being made more aware in this way.
Just a few studieshttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&cmd=Search&Term=survival%20among%20widows%20and%20widowers&itool=QuerySuggestionI belong to a grief support group that has had a number of speakers talk about this issue and we have seen it happen with members. It appears to cut across many socio-economic lines.
Data my ass.
Tragedy is undefinable by its nature.
Two boys have lost their Mother, a man has lost his wife.
A family have lost their daughter..a young woman has lost more than can be described.
As said earlier, Liam is an adult. He’ll figure it out…
This thread was posted with respect..let’s not drift too far away from that thought.
I do see your point but…
Slan,
D.
Easy there D. I think dwest was expressing a hope that Liam will do ok, even though (if you care about stats, and you needn’t,) this kind of thing can really tank some people. We hope it won’t.
It was not my intention to take dwest to task.
If it came across as so I apologise.
Slan,
D.
My point which I did not articulate is the Liam Neeson in spite of being a big boy has suffered a very traumatic loss and men often need very serious help after losing a spouse. Being an adult is, unfortunately, not a guarantee he’ll figure it out.
In the film Love Actually Liam Neeson played a man who had recently lost his wife.
A sad thing.
All due respect to ye there Bro..but I disagree.
I have never lost a spouse but I have buried both of my parents and my first child so I come here from experience.
A big boy..adult…whatever terminology ye choose, must pick up the pieces and move on.
Cry, weep, grieve by all means..I’ve done my share…many times.
If you are secure within yourself, true to who and what you are, you’ll manage.
If you let the vagaries of Life get to ye, that which is outside your control, you are walking into a lot of trouble.
Ye gotta be strong…there is, after all, only you.
I don’t want to sound Macho here, or cold and heartless…but acceptance of the world around me is the only truth I know..or care about.
Slan,
D.
