I am so profoundly sorry, to you and all of your family. Nothing prepares us for any loss, expected of least of all sudden especially the loss of a loved one you held so close.

I've just recently lost my father, and the sadness and complete desolation is hard to bear, but love each minute you had, each moment to cherish, love your memories and hold them close. They help. The desolation and sadness eases day by day, and it's true, you get better at it. Cry, shout, laugh and talk.

Your family, dearest ones, and friends are the ones who will help you through this now. It is a great support, though hard to deal with others emotions at this difficult time. Stand tall, be proud.

I was reading this story the other day, thinking of the horror for all the families involved, and how close to home it comes when there was someone from Britain involved. Little realising the closer connection to this little web community. I am holding you and all the other families involved in my thoughts.

Please take care, and my sincere sympathies to you and yours, from one who has been going through another difficult journey to another.


Ella who is Sooze.
