The Loss of An Entire Family

How does anyone cope with the unimaginable, watching as a loved one dies in front of your eyes? How do we process that? How do we go on after? And how do we survive the guilt of surviving? There are a few people that have created online tributes on Respectance of families who have undergone this exact tragedy.

An entire family was lost this week while hiking in the Alps, somewhere along the Swiss-Italian border. The father, and three children fell to their death as their mother watched helplessly. Our deepest sympathies go out to her, you can leave your thoughts here.

If you’ve had such a horrible experience you might want to join one of our online support groups, or create your own. Respectance is here to help you in your time of need.

    May they go with God. I hope that their mother finds solice in the beauty of their resting place.

    @Margarite
    Are you nuts? She’ll never get over her loss. I hope she gets the help she needs from friends and family to see her through.

Have your say
