At the risk of alienating just about everyone, could I suggest a bit of a step back and some deep breaths?
I see that everyone has been putting a lot of effort into their responses and trying really hard to help Crushed with her pain.
I also understand that losing an important connection to a loved one can *feel* like a life threatening event. And bring out the natural responses to life threatening events. Mother lioness and her cub, that sort of thing.
I don't think there's anything personal going on here. And everyone's reactions are perfectly understandable. But if everyone takes a step back and sees how each other's reactions are also perfectly understandable, perhaps we can keep some very valuable connections here on the board strong and maintain important sources of support for everyone involved.
