I'm sorry to hear about your friend. 2012 was not that long ago, and I know how unexpected things -- it could be a place, a song, a smell -- brings it back to our conscious minds. I still have that, from the murder of family and friends from the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. It never really goes away.

Viktor Frankl's books helped me to understand that one can actually grow stronger -- not because of these tragic events, but in spite of them.

Being human is a curious and strange experience sometimes, is it not?
