having trouble processing

I got some bad news tonight. My godsons' father was killed in a car accident this morning. I feel terrible for the boys and for their mother, who is one of my closest friends. They were no longer together, but I know this is going to be hard for her. I don't have any details, so it seems a little unreal to me right now. I wish for clarity, and silence. I wish for strength for her and bravery for the boys. I wish there was something I could do to help. I will wait until she asks for help, I will love them all as best I can. I will be careful when driving a car.
