When someone dies, we gather to remember the best parts about him or her.
Thursday, for instance, marked seven years to the day since actor Heath Ledger died. Countless articles surfaced about him,
remembering the late actor who died at the young age of 28 of accidental overdose of drugs prescribed for insomnia, anxiety,
pain and the common cold.
Also this week there was a candlelight vigil for Hannah Leflar, a 16-year-old girl who was a victim of homicide, found dead in Regina the week before. Since then, two 16-year-old boys have been charged with first-degree murder.
Leflar’s funeral was scheduled for Thursday. Her obituary described her as a “happy little girl.”
We cannot possibly imagine the type of pain Leflar’s family and friends are going through unless we have experienced something similar. Even then, we won’t fully get it.
Whether it’s the death of someone we knew personally or the death of a celebrity, one message is astoundingly clear – it affects those who are still alive.
