4a, trying to get my head around something.
Single car crash near the town I grew up in, killed a 69 year old woman & her 2 year old great-granddaughter.
I went to elementary & high school with the woman's daughter. Not someone close to me or anything, but someone that I've known pretty much my whole life since I was maybe 5 years old.
I cannot quite fathom trying to deal with the loss of your mother AND your grandaughter at the same time, all in an instant.
I don't think this is one you entirely can get your head around, or at least I can't.
Don't mean to be a downer, just really sort of mindfucked by this, moreso probably from learning about it at 4 in the f'n morning. (I'd seen an "identities not yet released" version of the story maybe eight hours prior, obviously never thinking I'd have some connection, however minor, to those involved)
