Hi Leanne,

I am so sorry to hear of Karen's passing. There are  no words - it is all just so very sad.

You are in my thoughts. X

Hi Libbs,

I am so very sorry to hear of your lovely Dad's passing - I will keep you and your Mum in my thoughts.

I just don't know what to say.

Sending a big hug your way. X

Karen passed away 27, her funeral is the Thursday too.  I'll be thinkin of you too on that day.  It's hard.  Your mom has you Libbs that gives her comfort.  Just be there,  keep doing what your doing and make sure you grieve too,  he was your dad too.  Sending you so much love through this message Libbs.  You hold on girl.  Xxx

Thanks,  even you saying this helps me physically to pull myself together. Xxxxx

I'm so sorry 4 u loss of dad my heart goes out 2 u all hope u mum ok sending u big hugs it's so sad :(  take care x 

Thank you so much. It's been a very tough day xx

Just read your message. So we had our funerals the same day? Massive hugs to you xx l hope it went well, as well as these things can go that is.

A heartbreaking, tough day for us both then. I think this is when the grieving really starts. I can't believe I will never see my dad again and it's all like a bad dream. He's been buried not far from my best friend. 

Mum coped well considering but once it was all over and we took her home it must have hit her. As she started shaking and was being sick. They were married nearly 60yrs.

Look after yourself and treasure all the memories of your wonderful friendship. 

I must keep telling myself that the pain eases and we will get through this. It just doesn't feel like it at the moment as it's all too raw for us.

Much love to you and big hugs xx xx 

HI libbs I'm ok thank u 4 asking hope u mum ok it's the shock of it all and u all been through a lot I'm glad u all had each other and it helped u through the day . It's so sad and so cruel  :(  take care of uself and look after u mum x 

I've had a hard day today. Reality hitting me with a baseball bat.  What do you say when people ask how was the funeral, did it go well?  I feel like saying something sarcastic and nasty but hold back and be nice.  The next few weeks and months will be rough in you all you have no focus,  nothing to rush round for,  just left alone to grieve, to look at empty space and chairs.  But you know what, evety day your back gets a bit straighter and your head gets a bit lighter.  Your heart still hurts but you learn to deal with it.  I sat after the funeral and looked at the grave stones,  young lives,  such loss.  Gone in an instant,  no time.  We will always miss them,  grieve and want them back,  we can't change nothing.  What we can change is the time we have with each other.  Live.  We got to live.  I believe we all will see our lived ones again but in that short time we have before that happens, live Libbs we can do that for them xxx
