“God's will” is a two-word of comfort we say to the bereaved family over death of a loved one. But whether the persons condoled think so to, too, is unlikely. “Condolences” would not appease the bereaved, especially if the loss is unexpected, as in the case of the victims of a squall that capsized three boats – M/B Chichi, M/B Keziah 2 and M/B Jenny Vince – on Saturday at Guimaras Strait. As of yesterday, 31 had already been reported dead. Why did they have to succumb to drowning? We all know how bad it feels to struggle for breath under water.
