1. No words, indeed.

Some of life's experiences can never be accurately described.

[William769]

2. No words is correct.

[Bonobo]

3. My heart breaks contemplating his pain.

It is the very greatest of sadnesses. He seems like a model father with devotion to his children his first priority.

Nothing could be worse.

[Mnemosyne]

4. So terribly sad... nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

5. so sad

[WillyT]

6. Huge K & R !!!

[NCarolinawoman]

7. Too much to bare.

Too hard to look at. I enjoyed receiving Beau's e-mails after his father dropped out of the primaries. They were never about asking for money--just what he was doing as attorney general. He was always doing good things.

8. Heartbreaking.

9. Speaking from

experience, it is the hardest thing that a person will ever have to do, and Mr. Biden has had to do it twice. I wish him all my best, and I wish I could be there for him and his family.

10. I hate how they take photographs of people's deepest agony and print them for all to see.

They're all in my prayers. I can't even imagine..........

[ailsagirl]

11. The photos are excruciating

My heart goes out to the family, whose grief is palpable.

Rest in Peace, dear Beau

16. It's not over - two more days of this.

i live right by St Anthony's here in Wilmington and the media is already moving into the neighborhood.

19. I hope they're being respectful and not making a circus of this

Much as I hate the invasion, I realize he was a public figure and that some coverage is expected. What I can't stand is when a reporter shoves his microphone into a bereaved person's face and asks how they're feeling.

Show a little decorum, guys

Grrrr

[LynneSin]

21. I was going to head over to the public viewing then I heard it was 3 hour wait

which is a bit too much for me.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I wish the media would leave people alone with their grief.

I couldn't even click. Shame on People.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

13. so unfair. unbearable.

[mountain grammy]

14. Heartbreaking.

[JDPriestly]

15. It's a terrible loss. My sympathy to the Biden family.

[romanic]

17. :(

I hope Beau rests in peace and the Bidens get through this somehow.

[Cha]

18. ..

[vankuria]

20. Prayers to the Biden family...

[etherealtruth]

22. I can't even allow myself to imagine his pain

[hifiguy]

23. This is so sad. Joe has had to go through so much in his life.

There's just something about him that makes you want to give the guy a hug. He's a genuine person and that always shines through.

All good vibes to the Biden family. No parent should have to bury a child.

[malaise]

24. Too sad for real
