 :hug:It is difficult for someone who hasn't experienced grief too understand,and this kind of accident is something we just don't imagine will happen to someone we know so initially shock plays a big part in  how we feel,its like someone took away the foundations from under your feet and you're left standing on shifting sands.Keep posting all of us here are at some stage of this horrible journey,so we do understand.

i thought i knew what grief was. i thought i grieved when my nan then grandad passed away but this is something else altogether. alot of people say always expect the unexpected but how can you expect this to happen

Having multiple losses as I have I would expect I knew what grief was too,but I know now I didn't,because each time it is different,I suppose it makes sense that we have different relationships with people in life and so grieve in different ways,not necessarily more or less of a grief but a very different one.
