It was her wedding photos today... just winded me a bit- can't post it on fb as her sisters are on there and they must be suffering big time. I also lost my dear friend and colleague to cancer a few days before my cousin- i attended 2 funerals 3 days apart- have to say i have been kind of half a person ever since- just not believing life can be so cruel. Guess that's why i lost myself in BB this summer- reality just a bit too sad to think about ....sorry for off loading xx”
oh bless u, i know life can be so hard and so sad!!
when i was 15 i was holding my best friend hand when she sadly passed away and 3 days later i lost my grandfather (who was more like a father to me) and also attended 2 funerals in a week

i dont think u ever recover fully from such sad events but u learn to live with them and the aching in ur heart does get better. having my children helped me
sending big hugs to u xxxxxxx
