Title: Sudden & Tragic Loss of my Girlfriend & Sister
Post by: aidanhudd on October 10, 2017, 08:42:32 PM
Around 10:30pm on the 14th July 2017, I was falling asleep on my bed when the light from my mobile phone woke me. It was my girlfriends mother calling me, I answered to her telling me that Skye (my girlfriend) has been in a car crash and that she thinks she has been taken to Preston hospital. I ran downstairs to tell my parents, to which they knew that Caitlin (my sister) and Skye had travelled together, with one other friend to go for a meal that evening with the rest of their friends at a local restaurant.

As the night further unfolded, we found out that my girlfriend Skye unfortunately lost control of her car, to which we do not know why (The investigation team have reported back that they believe she was travelling around 40mph, so not speeding), which then collided with an oncoming small van that killed both Skye and Caitlin. My sister, Caitlin, was the front seat passenger in the car. All others affected are doing OK.

I am 23 and both Caitlin and Skye were 18. My life for what I have known it has been completely torn apart, I am madly and deeply in love with Skye. And also love my sister Caitlin very much to which they are both no longer here, and I simply do not know what to do with myself anymore. I am distraught and heartbroken beyond belief :sad:

Aidan.

So sorry for your losses.  I found it has been hard enough losing one loved one at a time, to lose two people so close to you so suddenly must be such a shock.  Keep talking with us here, its a rollercoaster journey  :hearts: xx

I am so sorry to hear about your sister and your girlfriend. This must be such a difficult time and I'm sure your all overwhelmed by grief and shock in these early days. I hope you can find strength, comfort and support on this forum over the coming days.  Big hugs, Dizzy x
