lack of experience

My friend Halldór's mother died yesterday. He's about my age so his mother couldn't have been very old. She wasn´t sick and didn't get killed by anything obvious. She just didn't wake up. I can't imagine what this is like for him and his family. I have very little experience with dealing with the death of a loved one. I only hope that he and his family can find peace with this in time. I know that most people do eventually figure out a way to move on, but not having gone through it myself I think it must be incredibly difficult. I can't imagine how I will feel when I can no longer just call my dear mother-even though I know that I will have to experience that someday.

My condolences, Halldór.
