Hi. I’ve posted on here a few times about the loss of my Grandad. The 19th February was the anniversary this happened.
At the start of the year, a woman I work with sadly lost her son in a road collision. He was just 20 years old and on his way to work, just a normal day that turned into a nightmare. In the same week of my Grandads anniversary, I attended the funeral of my colleagues son which was Friday 21st Feb. Even though we are only work colleagues, I started with her and felt I should pay my respects. It was a beautiful, but incredibly sad and heartbreaking service. They did a visual tribute, showing his life and the reading his Mom did cut so deep I mean this was her son whose life was cut short. I’m coming to terms with my own loss, but I find myself thinking of my colleague and her family everyday, sometimes cry. I can’t imagine the pain theyre going through. She has her husband, and 3 other children who I also feel terribly sad for. My Grandads death was painful to come to terms with and still is, but the loss of her son hits really hard. I managed to speak to her at the wake, and told her I think of her and her family everyday. We both just had a moment and cried together. I’ve found myself thinking of mortality quite often, and how fragile life is. It’s all so sad

You sound really caring, @Katie_Sunflower. It’s understandable when confronted with death we think about our own mortality and the fragility of life. If these thoughts become all-consuming, though, maybe do think about reaching out for some extra support.
I’m sure someone will be along to share their thoughts, too. Take care
