What would you do if you had a long time blog and something really bad happened in your life? Would you blog about the "bad thing"?

Many bloggers have been at it for six or seven years now. They're blogging about books, politics, parenting, whatever. And then something terrible happens in their personal life – a death, a foreclosure, a divorce, illness. It's inevitable, really. Some blog about it and find the blogging process cathartic. Others make veiled references to the "bad thing" and then go about business as usual.

I've read about tragedies before on the blogs. I remember when Sam lost his son, Aidan. I've also been following Katie Granju as she grieves over her son's death. Right now, she' s nine months pregnant with her fourth children and nearly bedridden with grief. She's blogging a lot about the horror of losing a son.
