I am sorry for the loss of your friend.

[gavesugar]

[She is substantially more calm now, her hand resting contemplatively on the saw.]

[that doesn't even get an eyebrow twitch]

Losing those closest is always the hardest blow...

[gavesugar]

[He can say that again.]

'Tis grievously sorry, when one cannot e'en say goodbye.

[soul_scatter]

My parents died when I was young. My grandfather raised me after they passed.

[gavesugar]

Oh.

...My mother passed of childbed fever, when I was one and ten.
