Yesterday my best friend's little brother died in a terrible plane crash. He worked for a company that checked gas and power lines in remote areas and the two-person plane he was in went down in a ravine, causing a 21-acre fire. He had just turned 26 years old.
There isn't much they know about why the plane went down. It's suspected that it was mechanical error, but unfortunately because of the extent of the fire, there really isn't much to recover and investigate.
I am absolutely sick to my stomach with worry and sadness for her and her family. I've never personally gone through the death of a loved one, and I feel helpless and don't know what to do to help. I am torn trying to make sure she knows I'm here, but at the same time I don't want my "trying to help" become an additional burden or feeling of obligation. Any advice?
Thoughts and prayers are much needed to help her and her family get through this...
