Anthony DavidEvery road fatality statistic has a name. We knew two of these. We also know the sole survivor in the east-bound vehicle. She is stable in ICU and due for another surgery tomorrow. I am still in the bewilderment stage.
Jade (she/they) 🏳️🌈@adavid my condolences 😔
@jadedtech Thank you
@adavid I'm just a stranger on the internet, but if you need a listening ear, reach out. Losing people is hard enough when it's expected.
@jadedtech thank you so much for your offer.
Our family is getting together tomorrow (i bought tickets months ago for the three generations to see the Hilltop Hoods). There was a lot of excitement at the start of the week, until the news came through. I suspect "I'm a Ghost" will hit very hard, if it is on the set list. That being said, we will be all there together, for each other.
Our 11yo grandson has been hit hardest as the mother and her girls had spent a lot of time with the family. He pointed out at some stage they were planning to move to Brisbane at some stage.
@adavid being with supporting family is good. I can't think of anything better, to be honest. Not that I'm good at processing grief myself
If you have processed it, you are good at it. There are no time limits or rules.
From my experience, we have an inkling of what others in grief may need.
@adavid I really don't want to make this about me, so I'll just say that I don't even know what processing grief really means. I still tear up swiftly at memories. I don't really know what to do with it, except let it be what it is.
Having some human connection always feels helpful though. I don't want anyone to have to go through grieving alone. I hope the girl in ICU has good people around her. I can't imagine what this is going to do to her 😔

My step sister gave me some great advice after my Dad's passing. He was widowed at a younger age than I am, and married a very sweet and understanding woman. Our kids adored them both. My step mother saw both her husbands pass away in front of her.
My step sister said the pain and memories never go away. The tears well up at unexpected moments, but the time between those moments does increase.
@jadedtech Thank you for our chat. I must be off now. You have done very well. I mean it.
@adavid my pleasure. You take care 💜
@jadedtech You too.
