Private grief


Recommended Posts

A man placed some flowers on the grave of his

dearly departed mother and started back toward

his car when his attention was diverted to another

man kneeling at a grave. The man seemed to be

praying with profound intensity and kept repeating,

"Why did you have to die? Why did you have to

die?"

The first man approached him and said, "Sir,

I don't wish to interfere with your private grief,

but this demonstration of pain is more than I've

ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so deeply?

A child? A parent?"

The mourner took a moment to collect himself,

then replied, "My wife's first husband."
