Subject: Condolence

Dear Olga and Alexander
Coming home yesterday from a "visiting trip" to family and friends in southern Norway, we got your e-mail about yours son Dennis' death.
Hereby we send to you our deeply felt condolence. We know your sorrow and your want, because we are parents - also to boys.
In Kiruna, in September 2004, Siwert told me that "something" very sad had happen in your family. He did not know so much, but said some words about a childs death. Therefore it was not possible for you to take part in the seminary.
I remember Dennis as a small boy, may be 4 - 5 years old, when I was visiting your home in Apatity, - in 1991 or 1992 I think.
That is a memory of an active boy, who did not understand why we were talking English ! That is my only memory of Dennis, but a very positive meeting.
Best greetings to you from the Pasvik Valley,
Inger-Johanne and Svein.

We never met Dennis. But we are extremely touched by his fate, since our nephew was killed by a car when he was just walking along a street on Fuerteventura. He was in the same age like Dennis, so much loved by his parents, friendly, bright. We suffer with Dennis' parents and all who were around him and feel great sympathy.

Mats-Olov Olsson, Umeå, Sweden

Dear Sasha,
We heard the tragic news about your son's death from Stella Sevander sometime during the early autumn. It was really a shock, so sad and horrible to think about that we could hardly cope with it. We kept thinking how it would be if something similar happened to one of our sons. I cannot say how much I feel sorry for you. Please forgive us for not contacting you earlier, but I think you understand since I realized (from our experience with Marianne's accident) that people's shock and grief can take so many different expressions and sometime trigger really unexpected (irrational or inadequate) behavior.
We hope that you can find the strength to go on despite what has happened. It is not yet possible, of course, to believe that things will go back to "normal", but it seems that given enough time human
beings are capable of coping even when they have to face the most traumatic events.
What is your situation today, are you able to do some work? How is Olga and what about Nikita? I understand that this has taken him very hard.
I hope this year before it is over will bring you some consolation and hope for the future despite the deep sorrow caused by Dennis' tragic death.
All the best, Mats-Olov

Subject: With grief I am sending our sympathy

Dear Alexander,
I came back only yesterday and with grief and sorrow read your email of August 19th, concerning the accident of your son.
Although under these circumstances there are no words to describe the feelings of a person, I would like to send on behalf of my family the deepest sorrow for this great loss.
Although in times like these the work-therapy might help (seven years ago I also had to confront the same difficulties when my wife died and I had to brink-up alone my daughter who was 11 by that time, and I also used the same solution).
However, in moments of drifting, I would like to reassure you that the minds and prays of all your friends, colleagues and myself will be there with you to assist.
With great sympathy for this loss.

Саша, Оля!
Вчера приехал из командировки и прочитал Ваше письмо...
Даже не знаю что и говорить в такой ситуации. Это страшно и очень неправильно, когда с нашими детьми такое происходит...
Сочувствуем и скорбим вместе с Вами. Не могу поверить, что такое могло случиться. 
Вчера с Таней весь вечер только об этом  думали и грустили..., а сегодня с детьми побывал на могиле моего деда, помянули ушедших от нас. Обязательно всей семьей помянём 15 сентября Дениса, сходим в Преображенский собор и поставим свечи. 
У моего двоюродного брата в  прошлом году тоже погиб сын - он только начал учиться в Свердловском университете. Случайно проходил в городе мимо здания где милиция арестовывала каких-то бандитов. Кто-то начал стрелять и двух прохожих убили, один из них  оказался мой племянник... Нелепая смерть. Парня похоронили, а виновного до сих пор так и не нашли!? Вот такая сегодня у нас жизнь ...
Примите наши соболезнования, мужайтесь и держитесь вместе. Пусть в дальнейшем судьба будет милостлива к Нашим семьям.
Пишите если нужна какая-либо помощь.
Александр, Татьяна

Dear Sasha,
I have just learned from Bent that it was your son of all persons who drowned in Copenhagen this summer. I feel deeply sorry with you and your wife and understand maybe more than many others what you must go through in these hard times. My deepest condolences. You know I am at home on sabbatical from Risø¸ these days/month to take care of my incurable ill wife – it’s hard too I can tell you as there is no hope for her. Lets stay close together under these incredible hard times-but we will come out in the light again some day.
Best wishes from Torben

Dear Alexander and Olga,
I was so sorry to learn from Serge Medow of the tragic loss of your son. No one who has not gone through such a loss can realize the full magnitude but I want you to know how grieved we are by such  a loss. We can only hope that with time the pain will become less acute.
My wife, Elaine, and I would do anything we can to help you through this horrendous experience. So feel free to call upon us if we can help in any way.
Our best wishes for only happy occasions in the future.

Евгений Беляновский, Moscow

Саша, привет!
С огромным интересом прочитал статью о Денисе, и был совершенно потрясен обстоятельствами его гибели.
Я представлял это совершенно иначе. Рядом были люди и ничего не сделали - это не люди.
Я недавно (прошлой зимой) потерял одного из самых близких мне людей, которого знал 20 лет, с которым мы и в КСП ходили, и в одной байдарке лет 8 каждые майскик праздники - Диму Иванова, отца двоих детей. Его зарезал наркоман.  Ты представляешь, я на его похоронах выпил более 1,5 литров водки, но она меня не взяла.
Так вот, сын Димы Иванова Мишка считает меня своим вторым отцом - года 4 назад в майском походе мы кильнулись в пороге, и его отца унесло потоком, а Мишка висел в перевернутой байдарке вниз головой в полном ступоре. Я, естественно, в таких обстоятельствах забил на все и занялся Мишкой. Мне удалось  поднырнуть, выдернуть его из лодки и выкинуть на берег поскорее, пока ему не дало камнем по голове или он не захлебнулся.  Счет шел, как ты понимаешь, на секунды (лодка неслась по камням в перевернутом виде, а Мишка висел вниз головой). С берега один из наших это снял на видео. Но ни я, ни наши товарищи по походу не считаем, что я совершил что-то особенное - у нас это считается нормой.  Кстати сказать, вся группа  - байдарок 5 - тут же сгрудилась вокруг нас и в потоке нас страховали.  И таких ситуаций у меня часто и густо, все-таки я два раза в год хожу в водные походы, несмотря на возраст и не такое, как раньше, здоровье. Любое действие, где есть опасность для жизни, в обязательном порядке страхуется  (это не финансовая страховка, а техническая). И само собой, рядом нет равнодушных.
А как же иначе?
Похоже, есть все-таки разница  в качестве людей в России и на Западе. У нас я просто не могу себе такое представить.
Ну да ладно, для вас сейчас самое главное - вернуться к жизни. Напиши, как успехи у Никиты.

Dear Alexander
I heard the very bad news yesterday and I can not tell you how sorry I am to hear that your son died. You should know that we think about you a lot and feel with you in these hard conditions and that you should not hesistate to contact us, if there is anything we can do anything to help you. I have also tried suddenly to loose a close family member, even though I also know, that there is nothing that can be compared to loosing a child....

Dear Alexander,
the sudden death of your son Dennis is very shocking, and we feel very sad for you and your family.
It is terrible for parents to loose a child and especially at such an early age where life just really starts in full!
After the kick-off meeting and our pub visit in Copenhagen, you told Barbara that you were looking forward to meeting your grown son, and the impression was that you were very fond of him and got along together well - so this makes all even worse.
There is little consolation,  but we wish you and your family strength, courage  and patience to live through these hard times.
With our best thoughts and wishes,
Barbara and Lina 
Norvald Bjergene, Oslo, Norway

Dear Alexander,
I am very sorry to here about what have happened. It was really a shock to hear. My most deep felt condolences to you and your family.

Roberta De Maria, Italy

Dear Alexander,
I'm really very sorry for what happened to you during the last period. You are right, this is the worse thing that parents may happen to face, and that only people having sons can properly understand (and that I can only imagine, not having children myself).
The only thing I can do is to wish you and everyone who loved your son to find in his memory the strenght to keep on with the everyday life.
Best regards, Roberta
Guy Schayes, Louvain, Belgium

Very dear Alexander,
My God, what do you say !! Please accept my deepest sympathy for this unrepairable lost.
Loosing a child for any reason is surely the worst thing that can happen in life.
The hole left will never be filled. However, life goes on and one has to accept it, how difficult it can be.
I heartly wish you and your wife great courage.
Guy.
Mathias Rotach, Switzerland

Dear Alexander
Coming back to my office I find your mail with your terrible news. I am deeply moved and somewhat without words. I only know that it must have been terrible and incredible for you, whatever it was that happened. You will have to start learning to live with the idea that the time you have actually had with your son will have to live in your memory for him - however hard this is to accept.
I simply  wanted you to know that you have all my sympathy. I really wish you all the strength necessary in these terrible and hard days and I hope that you can find faith in the thought that life will continue, even if it never will be as before.
With my warmest regards, Mathias
Patrice Mestayer, Nantes, France

Dear Alexander
Do receive my most warmly and friendly regards in this terrible opportunity.
Courage is the only thing you need and I would be happy to send some to you through this mail.

Ekaterina Batchvarova, UK

Dear Sasha,
I am so sorry you that had to go through this sorrow and that your son had to leave this life. I sincerely condole with you and your wife!
Work is something that can make time pass faster, but is not important in such period of life. And FUMAPEX is going fine, so it will continue easily with less devotion.
It is hard to believe what you say. Sorry!
Sincerely, Ekaterina
Sandro Finardi, Milano, Italy

Dear Alexander,
I just read my email getting back to work after my summer holydays and I am shocked by the news of the tragedy that hit your family.
Any word sounds stupid with such an event and I can't even imagine the despair that you are suffering.
Anyway I would like to tell you that I fell close to you with the (possible) comprehension of a father of two young children.

Millán M. Millán, Valencia, Spain

Dear Alex,
This morning I returned to my office after a short holiday and found your August 19th email with the sad news about your son Dennis.
I remember that the last time we were together we talked about our respective families and you, of course, referred to your soon.
I suppose all I can say at this time is that I am really sad about your loss and I hope you and your family can weather this terrible event.
I hope to see you soon.
Yours truly, Millan
Matti Jantunen, Finland

Dear Alexander
Indeed, there cannot be a bigger loss for a man. Our deepest condolences to You and to your family and loved ones. Take all the time you need for your sorrow - answering the more or less urgent e-mails, including this one, should be the least important thing in your mind.
Sincerely, Otto and Matti

We  are very sorry and sad about the news about Denis death. We remember his visit here when he was a little boy with you. Vi kondolerer, som vi sier på norsk når noen dør. We did like you said , drank a glass, talked and thought about and prayed for  him.
Best wishes from your friends in Oslo.

U menia seichas  vse  v polosku: byvaet kak nakatit..., a byvaet kogda ia ochen ostro vosprinimau kazhduiu meloch i  raduius'  vsemu .
Poterpite, Olenka, tolko ne zagoniaite sebia raznymi plohimi mysliami.
Vy esche tozhe budete radovat'sia zhizni.
Beregite drug druga.
Ia vas ochen lublu i Ia vsegda s vami.

Dear Olga, dear Alexander, dear Nikita
I wanted to write you  about our summerholydays and our daily life, when I read your mail about Dennis death this morning.
I'm shocked, deeply touched,  without words.
I knew Dennis not personally. But in your mails you described him so well with your typical mixture of motherly affection and  irony, showing how much you enjoyed watching him to find his way in life, that I have a very good picture of him.
I know what this loss means to you and your family and what all of you are going through in these weeks. The loss of a child and a brother is one of the hardest blows one has to suffer in life. I wish you all the strength to overcome this terrible event, not to get lost in your grief, and to settle back slowly to a very different life again.
Take special care of Nikita, he must learn that speaking about ones feelings brings back very sad moments, but this is the only way to overcome this terrible experience. Let me tell Nikita, that for all the years he can think of, he had in Dennis  a nice fellow and wonderful brother, something not everyone in the world  is fortunate enough to experience in his life. And that he should take this positive image of Dennis as a guideline to his own future life.
My family and me, we are all sad. Our thoughts and our mind is with all of you.
If we can be of any help to you and your family do not hesitate to call us. Anytime, anywhere.
With deep affection
Markus, Susan, Eva & Gina

Olen'ka!
Vse utro dumau o tebe: vidimo est' chto-to takoe, chto svazivaet nas na rasstoianii... A tut ti napisala. Derjis', ia daje ne znau, chto tebe i govorit' v takoi situatsii. Povtoriau: priezjai, kogda zahochesh', esli budet vozmojnost', sili i jelanie, mojet bit', ia smogu hot' nemnogo oblegchit' tvou bol'. Ia nikak ne smogu k tebe priehat', detei real'no ne smogu poka ostavit', problem u mena massa, no vse eto nichto riadom s tvoimi, ia tol'ko posle tvoego zvonka poniala, chto vse ostal'noe - erunda. Nastya mne govorit: "Mama, ti pochemu plachesh', eto ved' ne tvoi sin?"  A ia ne mogu, tak bol'no... Prosti...
DERJIS'
