What a dreadful thing to happen. I am so sorry. There isn't really anything I can say to make it better. Come on here and rant all you want if it helps.

Hugs

Una. Xx

Thats awful for you, and well done in such a tight situation staying away from the cig - that takes a core of steel.

I know words cant help but thinking of you and yours x

I am pleased for you that you havent smoked. It is such a tragic event that all bets are off, but we all know that smoking does not help.Hope you are all able to support each other. Lots of Love.

Sincere thanks to you all for your kind thoughts and support. Today has been unreal.I wish I could wake tomorrow and it has all been a terrible dream. A lovely 21 year old lad, a really beautiful soul, wiped out just like that. The Police Officer must be in total shock too -so many heart- broken people tonight. Thank you all again. What wonderful people are here. xx

What an absolutely awful, heartbreaking thing to happen. It's hard to find words of any comfort at a time like this but I'm holding you and your family in my prayers.

Thank you all so much.

It's just amazing how wonderful the people of this forum are and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your kind messages of sympathy and support.

I am the only one still not smoking among the people affected by this awful event. My stepson, who lost his nephew, has not smoked for about 3 years, but it was the first thing he turned to before phoning his dad, my partner to break the awful news. It just shows what power to "help" us we think this drug has, because, of course, today he is wondering why he did that.

Today we woke early and set to in the kitchen making a few things to take to the family. No one is feeling like eating much, but that old NE favourite corned beef and onion pie went down a treat, and it gave my OH something to do. You just feel so useless.

We may know more about what happened tomorrow,as there will be a visit by the IPCC Liaison Officer, but for the moment all we can do is ponder the tragedy and wonder why.

Again my thanks one and all. xxxx

That is utterly remarkable. I am awed by your clarity.
