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.

I am so so sorry move Nothing that any of us can say can make any of this feel any better. It's such an awful thing for you to go through. Please know that lots of us here are thinking of you and offering a hand to hold Flowers

Sorry for your loss. Glad you were finding happiness together in your move.

I am so very sorry.

Life can be so unbearably cruel.

Do what you think he would've liked. If he liked metal, why not? You will be honouring his memory, not convention.

I have no idea how you'll get through this but you will. Your kids are old enough for you to fall apart a bit. Thanks

CurlyRover · 01/12/2017 23:03

Oh yeah meant to say - don't feel like you have to hold it all together.

I know it's in no way similar but when my Nan died my mum didn't show any emotion and then I felt like I couldn't show emotion either and that I was wrong for feeling upset. I think it's healthy for us to see our parents grieve naturally - be that shouting screaming crying numbness, whatever you need to feel and show. Flowers

I'm so sorry for your loss Flowers

I'm in the funeral industry if you want to PM me with any questions them please do.

A good Funeral director will be able to guide you.
Watch out for ones with hidden costs they should give you a quote and most will come to your home so you can do it as a family.

There's a lot of practical things to do and decisions to make at the worst time so make lists, be prepared to use people for support and talk to each other.

My thoughts are with you Flowers

thetwinkletoescollective · 02/12/2017 18:16

Brightredpencil · 02/12/2017 18:52

I've lost close family members in road accidents:it's awful. OP Flowers for you.
I have since been in touch with the road safety charity Brake who can offer good insights and even training courses.
Thinking of you all. X
