I felt strange seeing these at this private time. Yes, I clicked on it, but now regret it. I never learn.

I felt strange too, that's why I didn't post individual pictures. It seems so invasive, especially the one of little Zaria.

I wish to add my condolences to those that have already been expressed.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Dutch Royal Family at this heartbreaking time.
RIP, Prince Friso.

Very sad news indeed. My thoughts are with Beatrix, Mabel, the girls and the rest of Friso's loved ones. I personally wouldn't have wanted to be kept alive through life support, but I also know how terrible the thought of closing the respirator is for the loved ones. But in the end, the life Friso was living in the comatose state wasn't a life worth living, I hope that they can all find peace now, particularly Beatrix and Mabel. May he rest in peace.

What a horrible time this must be for the entire family. My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to the entire family but I will especially be thinking of Princess Beatrix. I can't imagine having to summon the strength to continue after the loss of a child. I hope that she's able to find some sort of peace and experience joy in watching Friso's lovely children grow up.

This may come out as being cold hearted, but I hope that with the past year and a half that Friso has been in a coma, I hope his young family has had a chance to come to terms with his eventual death, so that it may make this time a little easier on them.
As for Pr. Beatrix, having just gone thru this with my parents loosing both of their sons, one expected and one not expected, the grief that consumes a parent is all encompussing. I don't think there is ever total recovery from this. My 2nd brother passed 19 yrs before my 1st brother passed. The pain and grief that I witnessed is unberable, and it was just getting easier for them when my 1st brother passed. The wound was still there and it was like it was torn open all over again. I can just imagine how hard it will be for Beatrix. My heart goes out to her the most. May Friso rest in everlasting peace now and may his guardian angels guide his family in the days ahead....
