Is anyone up?

I can’t sleep.

My husband was killed in a car crash today.

We’d just moved house and he was so happy.

Sending you thoughts are prayers OP.

Don't forget to eat. I know it's the last thing you'll feel like doing but even some toast every so often will help. Flowers

I'm so so sorry. I hope you are surrounded by family and friends this morning.

Oh, you poor love, and your poor, dear children. Echoing don't forget to eat. Not just that you'll forget, but you won't feel like it, but nibble at whatever you can because you need all the strength you can muster.

So many people on here thinking about you.

Oh move I'm so so sorry, what horrific news, there are no words. My friend lost her husband recently and all of us friends really would like to help her with anything, please over the coming months, accept any offers do food/cleaning /help, and don't be afraid to ask for it. You don't have to be strong for anyone, you just need to take one day at a time. My thoughts are with you and your family x

So so sorry OP, thinking of you and your family at this tough time. The Tshirt idea sounds lovely and perfect for him, i hope you can make it a celebration of his life and remember and laugh at the good times you all shared.
Take up your friends offer, it'll help. Try, all of you, to eat and to rest.
Do your IL's have support? Flowers
