Young, Broken Hearts

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again. (Bee Gee’s)


Jordan’s heart is broken.
I wish healing it was as easy as listening to a Bee Gee’s tune.
How do we adults explain death, especially a tragic death, to a child?
We can’t.
We just hold them, rock them, love them.
And sometimes…we sing to them an old song that helped us through our own pain of loss, many years ago.
