I am so so sorry, and sending a little prayer your way x

suchashame · 11/05/2013 09:56

Words to say how earth shattering this is for you can seem inadequate to fully describe theceffect .... and words are all we have here to reach out to you and your family ... but Iike everyone else I hope i can hold your hand while you need it.

The horrific video in your mind right now will fade in time.... it may still be there but you can , when you are ready, replace it with more positive mind videos of better times. You might need rl help to do it .. but yes please hold onto that thought.

Echo others... if you can't sleep especially then get medical help... the processes you will have to go through will be hard enoughwithout hhaving to do it exhausted.

Thinking of you....

So sorry Trinity.
You and your girls are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ginformation · 11/05/2013 09:57

Sad so sad.
So incredibly unfair, cruel, traumatic and painful for you and your family.

The images of the event will become less intrusive. The flashbacks are your brains way of processing it. How brave of you to do chest compressions.

Big hugs to you all.

MadameOvary · 11/05/2013 09:57

What rambo said. You need to focus on you and the DC now.
Do you want to keep talking about him? There will be so much love and laughter and happiness he gave you, it will overcome the painful images.

HumphreyCobbler · 11/05/2013 09:58

Oh I am so sorry to read this. I checked the post to see the date too.

I am so sorry for your terrible loss.

Velve · 11/05/2013 10:00

I'm so, so sorry. I don't have any other words or anything useful to say. Sad
You are in my thoughts.

Charleymouse · 11/05/2013 10:02

Trinity it physically hurts and the images you have will fade. I promise.

My dad died of a massive heart attack 8 years ago and I checked his pulse and his breathing and luckily someone else started the chest compressions. Unfortunately he did die there was nothing that could be done. The images of his death are still with me but they have faded and you and I know we did all we could, so take comfort in that.

They will be with you in the immediate aftermath when you shut your eyes but you can replace them if you think really hard about the good times and his face laughing and gradually these images will replace the ones of yesterday. So so sorry for your loss. Much love CM xxx

LizaTarbucksAuntie · 11/05/2013 10:03

Oh Darling, so, so very sorry.

Life is too fucking unfair.

Rage at the sky a bit my love, it will help. Then take a single, tiny step forward, just one. We're all here for you

Praying for you and the DC

motherinferior · 11/05/2013 10:08

My god, Trinity, how terrible. I am so sorry.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 11/05/2013 10:09

Sorry to hear this tragic news :(

TheCrackFox · 11/05/2013 10:10

Trinity - life has been unspeakably cruel to you. I am so very sorry. Xx

blondieminx · 11/05/2013 10:10

Trinity I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. No-one should have to bear the unspeakable shittiness of everything you've been through in the past few years. We are all here to hold your hand.

To keep your head and be able to do the chest compressions was a really great thing and you gave him the best possible chance. You should give yourself huge credit for that - a lot of people wouldn't have known what to do. You did everything you could.

Cuddle your children lots, and push your GP hard for family bereavement counselling on Monday. In the meantime be specific about the help you need (meal cooking, someone to stay with the littlies on Monday while you deal with things etc) when people offer.

TheHumancatapult · 11/05/2013 10:12

oh no i checked date to am so sorry life is so fucking cruel

UltimateDetermination · 11/05/2013 10:14

Trinity, I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm mainly a lurker but remember your backstory. I remember being so delighted for you when you met DP. I'm devasted that this has now happened - but also glad for the happiness that you had with him (hope that makes sense). Be kind to yourself

trulymadlydeeply · 11/05/2013 10:14

I, too, had to check the date on this thread. So very sorry Trinity. You've had an unreasonable amount to bear over the last few years. It just reinforces how randomly cruel life is.

I'm so so sorry for another loss. Tiny, baby steps. You can do this. You know you can.

Very much love and lots of handholding. XXX

TigerFeet · 11/05/2013 10:15
