This is so sad. You are so young to suffer like this. You will see from the posts on this site that all you can do is survive 1 hour, 1 day at a time. Dont look too far forward. Go with how you feel. Howl, cry, hit things ( not people) if it feels right. There is no one size fits all in grief. Take all the support and help you are offered. I pray you are surrounded by family and friends. Keep posting what you feel on this site. It helps and we all understand. Love and hugs. Xx

Pudding has it absolutely right. Get through every minute as best you can, lean on whatever family and friends are around to help.
Try to remember that things really do get good again, but it takes time.

Its not quite a week, that’s an incredibly short time to start making sense of the horror. Just try to hang on, sometimes by the skin of your teeth!!
Hard as it is to believe, time really does heal. Have strength!
