Hugs??

[Dandi]

I'm not even sure why I'm typing this, I think I just need to let it out... yesterday one of my beautiful collegues, aged just 25, died in a car accident in our city. Her mum is a nurse who also works with us. The entire workplace itself is just shattered, so the family's pain is just incomprehensible to me. I'm so distraught right now I hardly know where to look. We could barely function as a team today, but somehow through lots of tears and hugs we got through the day.

I can't stop worrying about her family. If we are struggling this much to keep it together, how on earth are they going to make it through this?!

Dust, hugs, strength - whatever you have, please, please send it their way.

Please, please take care of one another and stay safe this Christmas, and always. Life is so precious.

So very sad. I'm sorry for you, her family and all her friends. Hugs.

Hugs for you, the family and your team. The only thing I've learned in situations like this is that it takes time to dull the pain.
I'm so very sorry.

[zoebartlett]

I'm so sorry, Andi. My thoughts are with you and your coworker's family.

 

[luv2sparkle]

That is sooo very sad. I will be praying for her family. I can't even imagine.

 

[tigian]

I'm so sorry for your loss! I can't imagine how the family must be coping. Many prayers for you and everyone who is mourning the loss of your friend.

 

[Haven]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Andi. Hugs and prayers to you and everyone who knew her.

 

[Dandi]

Wow, thankyou guys! All the prayers and support for her family are so very much appreciated. I just had Christmas Eve dinner with my family, and every time I laughed or exchanged a gift with a loved one, my mind kept going back to the fact that they'll never share these things with her again, and wondering what they were doing at that time... it's so overwhelmingly sad.

Thanks so much again for taking the time to think of them (and me) during this crazy time of year, you're all so special. Hugs all around.

 

[Amber St. Clare]

All of you are in my thoughs and prayers.

 

[Amys Bling]

That is absolutley terrible! Sending you hugs and prayers. at times like this it's so hard to find the right things to say- but by just doing little things for the family, you can really show them your care and symapthy and not overwhelm them. Maybe set up a website for meals? A friend of mine did this for a friend's family going through a tragic time. The last thing they will want to think about once things settle down is cooking meals for the following week or so... im sure there are some small things that can be done that will really mean a lot to the family.

 

[baby nurse]

This is so horribly sad, and to happen 3 days before Christmas... Sending you all lots and lots of prayers and dust.

 

[HollyS]

How very awful. Prayers for her family, and for you and her many friends.

 

[MyDiamondSparkles]

I'm so sad to hear of your collegue's death. Big hugs coming your way and prayers for the family too.

I don't share my own story with many people as it's painful to think about, however my sister passed away at age 33 as the result of a tragic accident and while she was at her work desk. She was 33. Her kids were ages 5 and 8. Her husband worked in the same office as she and witnessed her death. It was devastating for our entire family-- unbelievable and hard to come to grips with. Watching my parents greive over the loss of their first born was, ...just undescribable. Many of her co-workers wrote letters to the family of what they remembered about my sister and funny and touching stories about working with her. At first I couldn't even read them, but later they became a great source of comfort to us all. I get those letters out of their special box every now and then and somehow it helps me keep connected with my sister. I will never forget the thoughtfulness of her co-workers in writing those letters to our family. They are treasured keepsakes.
