Just feeling a bit sad

[Mydogisblackandwhite]

Hi, my parents have 2 friends that they are very close to.
There was a fire on boxing day, that sadly killed a mother and 2 young children. It turned out that it was their friends dil and 2 dgc, the son got out to try to rescue the dc but sadly couldn't. She stayed inside to try getting them through the house but sadly died.
I've just bought us 2 more smoke alarms for the house but I just can't get the thought of the mum and dad trying to rescue her children and being unable to. The sheer horror of how they must of felt just keeps popping into my head
I'd never met them but my parents spoke about them.
Im not sure what im looking for really but felt like just sharing how I feel.

Kindly- you would probably be better posting this in chat or similar, and you would get people who can chat about how you feel on another board.

This board is for people who are bereaved, and have experienced a loss themselves, not really for discussing someone else's tragedy and how you feel about it.
