My brother and his family all got it, they recovered (un vaccinated) although my brother who is almost 60 is still weak. No lasting effects so far. However I got bad news from my best friend from high school last week. His younger brother who was 53 in good health also un vaccinated lost his fight with covid last week. He fought it for almost 4 months and I was hoping and praying he would make it. For some reason it really hit him hard. He was a good guy and I feel terrible as he leaves behind a HS age son and a college age daughter as well as his wife.
The wake is tomorrow night and I am not sure how I am going to react. I had not seen Jon for many years as he was younger than my friend. But he was always a good guy and I am pissed that while other scum bags get shot, OD on drugs for the 20th time can keep on living, but a good guy dies from an illness that many survive.
Makes my faith in god waiver more so than losing my mother at 66. I know life isn't fair, but this is fucking bullshit!

I hear you!!! I've lost 3 customers to this shit. More friends than customers in my book!

Sorry to hear it. It's poor taste I'm sure to wax philosophical in a tragic thread, but since he is not family and you are struggling with faith, my concern is for you. It is hardship that makes faith even more important. This life is hard. I don't need to but remind us all of that fact. Random death, nonsensical and unfair death is part of the equation and given the bigger picture, I doubt God is there to rescue us from it.

I've had my own wrestle with seemingly unfair death this year. Many of us have. I'm here to tell you now is when faith is most valuable. So, have faith. Take fresh courage. Count your blessings. Love your family. Tell them you love them. There are no words to describe how vital it is to tell them every day before you can't anymore.

I went through similar feelings back in 2010 when our manager was killed in an auto crash. He was only 36, fit & healthy, and father of two young children. He was conservative and Christian, not a risk taker in any sense. He was just an overall good guy. The day after he died was emotionally the toughest work day I've ever experienced.

I remember being really pissed that he should be taken instead of one of the innumerable miscreants out there.

Prayers of comfort for his window, son and daughter. I'm sorry for the loss.

I'm sorry for your loss. Prayers for all those impacted.
