Handhold: a dear friend has died

[soverysadtonight]

I'm just in utter disbelief, she was pregnant, due soon, and she and the baby were killed in an accident. She leaves behind a 5 yo and a beloved husband. I'm just gutted. I haven't experienced the death of a friend and I just can't stop crying.

That’s heart breaking OP xx

Im so sorry. Do you have someone there to support you? Sending hugs xx

I am sorry for your loss. Utterly sad and difficult to comprehend. Gentle hugs

So sorry for your loss, that would be a terrible shock for anyone no matter how many losses they'd experienced. Be gentle with yourself - do you have people around you you can talk to/get support from?

What a dreadful thing to happen, truly horrific. I'm so sorry for your loss OP.

Thank you everyone, I've had a long cry with DH but he's had a long day and I've sent him to bed. I'm just sat here and can't stop crying and looking at pictures of us together. I just can't make sense of it.

Oh Op that’s awful news I’m so sorry x

How awful, have a handhold and a hug.

I am so sorry. The sudden death of a young person is truly shocking. Allow yourself time to grieve and adjust to this.

Keep crying its ok. Allow your grief. This is a terrible thing to happen.

How utterly heartbreaking. I’m so sorry for your loss, and for that of her family. I can’t even comprehend what a shock it must be.

Take good care of yourself OP. Do you have any mutual friends you could call this evening?

Thank you again, we were friends from uni and kept in touch all these years. Most of our circle had lost touch but I've spoken with one person who had maintained some contact with her. It just doesn't seem possible.

I’m so very sorry OP, I can’t imagine how shocking that must be.
Thinking of you

So sorry to hear this. Thinking of you all xx

Tragically sad 😔 her poor child and husband 😭 I’m really sorry for the loss of your friend, you must be in so much shock!

It’s awful to lose someone young like this, sympathy.

I’m so sorry @soverysadtonight

please do tell us about your friend, if it helps, but if too painful now then hold off until your ready. xxx

@soverysadtonight

Thinking of you, no advice except a handhold. I know you will always remember your friend, and keep in touch with her poor husband and child, that will be a good way to remember her.

I'm so very sorry - that's just awful. Sending a handhold.

Thank you everyone, I’ve spent the weekend crying, DH has been a star and taken the DC out so I can weep and mourn. The initial shock has subsided but I still can’t believe she and the baby are gone.
