I'm happy for her that she will have the space to grieve and the time to laboriously rebuild her life .
I can't imagine what she's going through.

I have no idea how she is able to hold it together. May she receive extensive support to get herself through all this. Heartbreaking.

it's when she goes back to "normal" or everyday life that will be even tougher.

(89,260 posts)6. it seems so unreal
people enjoying their vacation together and then just losing almost all of them.
i think her nephew survived also. they are really going to need each other for the rest of their lives.
