15. I can imagine how much it sucks.. Such an impossibly traumatic

& heartbreaking life situation.

I feel for you deeply as just having experienced my sister & best friend passing away the day after Christmas. There's so many things I want to say to her and yell them at the sky instead.

Not that it's the same.. it's just all shocking and so unbearably sad.
