I remember the footage of the family surprising him for his 100th game this year, it was such an emotional reunion. So terribly sad. I’m glad he is able to be with his family at this terrible time.

It still doesn’t seem possible to me sometimes, that my mum has passed. I’ll remember it out of the blue and think how can it be? The concept seems impossible, it’s strange. We lost her more than 6 years ago. Any mention of someone losing a parent reminds me. We don’t exist without them so it’s understandable, but yeah, it’s very tough especially if you’re close. No matter how long you have them it’s never enough too, but it does make me more sad when someone is under 30 when it happens, like Viliami.

I was 25 when I lost my Dad, 30 when I lost my Brother, 33 when I lost my Mum and 40 when I lost my Son. It is still unbelievable that you can lose so many family members while still relatively young yourself.

Sad for Kikau though.

That’s tragic mate. I’m so sorry you went through that. I can’t imagine losing a child (I don’t have kids) but I lost a sibling at a young age so my parents had that experience, which is sad to think about. It still affects me too. Life can be cruel and the reality is, the older you live, the more death you’ll experience. Just got to try and keep their spirit alive somehow, religious or otherwise.

I'm going ok brother, but I won't lie i am still struggling with the death of my Son even though it's been several months since his passing. There is a part of me inside that just feels empty. I honestly feel like I won't be the same again. All losses hurt, but your own child is a whole different level. But I'm trying to do my best.

As the saying goes, you should never have to bury a child. Within all the losses, my Son has been the hardest to deal with. I am still struggling with it, months on from his passing. It has taken a big part of me while also taking a toll on me in the process. I am doing the best I can do. Coming into Christmas is not going to make things any easier.

Hang in there bro. I can’t imagine how awful it must be, but as I said, my parents lost a sibling of mine when I was young and as gutted as they were, eventually they managed to live with the grief. Obviously it will fuck you up, but you can still have a life. It’s only been months for you, so would still be very raw.

It amazes me how some people can manage to endure things like losing a child to murder and sometimes with worse stuff that happened before their life was taken. Like the Morecambes, who started a charity in their son’s name, or the Abdallahs losing several children in one tragic event.

Sorry to be so depressing but I think it can help knowing there’s almost always someone that’s been through worse.
