Description: Sharing my thoughts and experiences
Confronting the death of a loved one is among the most challenging events in life. Five moths ago one of my best friends, Olivier a 38 years old dad-to-be, was struck by a heart attack during a trail race we were participating in. This traumatic event changed me and my perspective on life.
Recently I was asked: “what do you say to someone who lost a friend?” That is what do you say besides presenting your condolences and the kind of “that was her fate” sentence that everyone says without conviction in a desperate empathetic attempt.
I’d like to share here what I’ve learnt from the lost of my dear friend.
