Tragedy is like a sucker punch to the face.
The blow comes out of nowhere, and you’re left reeling. Your view of life is blurry for days, weeks, maybe even months.
One of the worst parts of tragedy in the initial moments is the feeling of isolation that can settle in around you. The pain can be so deep, so intense, that you feel strangely detached and all alone, even if you’re surrounded by friends and family.
