This story has really touched me. So sad. It is just so unthinkable. I don't get why they would leave a 15ft live Christmas tree in the house for over 2 months, especially leaving the lights on when going to bed. I cannot imagine the grief their children are going through. How do the children not blame their parents for being negligent, even though it was an innocent/overlooked/not thinking mistake? It is a situation that no one can fathom, much less get past. Christmas will be tragic for the rest of their lives. This is one of those heart breaking stories that puts another's life in perspective, and reminds us to count our blessings. To me, this is the ultimate grief. God bless the family. The ones that are gone, and the ones that have to endure this tragedy for the rest of their lives.
I have no problems in comparison to this story. I have cried for them and told myself that have I have no right to be sad about anything. I can't even relate to the enormousness of this loss.
