He just looks heartbroken. He and his boys are in my prayers.

I don't mean to be rude, but you're actually bumping a thread about a husband coping with the death of his wife because you aren't satisfied with the response to it?

I just think we only offer prayers for someone's family immediately after the tragedy and fail to realize that grieving is a process.

Is a Broadway message board really the appropriate venue for such displays of sympathy to a complete stranger?

I'm atheist so I don't know if me offering my prayers would do anything. But, still. Bobby you have to understand that you really can't force an act of good will upon someone. If they offer their prayers or their thoughts in this thread then that is great. But, you shouldn't create a situation where people are forced to do so.

That is hands down the most pretentious statement I've ever seen posted on BroadwayWorld.

I don't think Bobby meant bad by posting this or bumping the thread. Had this been posted a few days after Natasha's death I bet the reaction would have been very different.

I think this a thread we must respect and if we believe we can't do more with prayers, just let it be, but unfair to bash the OP and question his intentions IMHO.

It's not about whether or not we believe in the power of prayer or if we still feel compassion. Not all of us feel the need to comment on every thread that we read. And that is okay. Sometimes we don't know what to say and other times there is nothing left to be said.

Writing something on a message board doesn't make it so.
I think too many times people feel like they have to post on a thread like this or they look like unfeeling a-holes. It's not true. People all deal with things differently. It's unfair to get annoyed with people for not responding.

Not everything needs a response.
