Outliving your child

I just received horribly, sad news. A colleague has a son who very recently started to turn his life around. Apparently last night he was struck by a truck as he attempted to cross the street. My colleague and her spouse are currently waiting for their son to die as there is no brain activity.

Please keep them in your thoughts today.

I've received word that my colleague's son died early this afternoon.
