I know a lot of you have heard this by now from Alex's LJ, but I felt I should probably say so anyway.

My husband's elderly cousin Jordan Cohn passed away Wednesday.

Everyone's been asking if we're okay, and it's hard to say clearly. I think the best way to sum it up is: things aren't okay, but we're okay. If you appreciate the distinction.

(Also: I'm trying to catch up with my flist since Wednesday, and there's a good chance I've missed something. Apologies in advance.)

I get the distinction. And "okay" can be such a hard to define thing. Of course you're not "okay", this is sad and difficult. Yet I believe you when you say you're "okay." In speech, sometimes it's all in how you emphasize the word. "We're not Okay, but we're oKAY."

I put that as "I'm not okay, but I will be."

*hugs you and [livejournal.com profile] sdelmonte both*

The distinction makes perfect sense.

May he find his next destination without confusion or further pain.

Be well and *hugs*
