Shit V. That's awful, absolutely awful. What a nightmare for all concerned.

No, you're right, it won't be 'ok'. But saying it is just a way of trying to help and comfort. Don't be hard on yourself for wanting to help and give comfort, V, it's who you are. Everything's heightened, the little phrases that slip from our mouths unbidden in times like that, aren't always right for that exact circumstance. A thousand other times those words will be the right thing to say, rather than just the instinctive thing *smiles*
