Dear @Mandy661
I am so sorry for your loss,a tragedy to lose such a young soul much to soon. I understand why you are so devastated. Life can be so cruel, how can we understand why this happens to someone so loved, so young.
Am thinking of you and your family & hoping you find some support both here & with your family.

I am so sorry to hear this. Truly devastating. My aunt was killed in a car crash a few weeks ago by a drunk driver and I honestly feel like my heart will ache forever too. It’s so overwhelming. I have found speaking to people on here quite comforting and almost cathartic. Speak up when you need to; we are all listening xx

Oh so sorry but I really can’t feel as though I can’t carry o. Hurts so much and appreciate u talking to me x

i know exactly you feel i lost my wife of 37yrs on tursday

So sorry say it gets better but can’t see that at moment just constantly thinking

I honestly think you just learn to move with the pain, never on from it. I’m reading a book at the moment that’s really helping me with my grief (my aunt was recently killed in a car accident by drunk driver). It talks about how people try to be helpful by saying ‘move on’ and ‘you’ll get there’. These comments aren’t helpful I find and I just feel dismissed. We need to feel what we feel…there’s no time limit on grief. Sending love and strength to you all xx
