I had sad news today

[weepweeps]

A young woman (30) I have known since she was born passed away on Thursday.

She had anorexia. She had been hospitalised since the age of 13. RIP. I hope you have found peace at last.

Her twin was also hospitalised at the age of 13 with anorexia but four years ago she managed to overcome this awful mental illness. She passed some GCSEs and a foundation course and is studying occupational therapy at uni.

What a dreadful disease Anorexia is, so sad

I'm very sorry to hear that weepweeps.
Eating disorders are terrible illnesses. I hope she has finally found peace too. 🕊

It's actually Eating Disorders Awareness Week this week, and I'd encourage everyone to learn a bit about spotting the signs of eating disorders and uncover some of the myths and stereotypes surrounding them.
Beat (The UK's Eating Disorder Charity - Beat) is an incredible charity, and has helplines and lots of support available for anybody affected by an eating disorder (including family and friends).
To anyone out there who's struggling: please don't be afraid to reach out for help. Recognising you need medical support can be the first step to recovery.

I'm so sorry weepweeps- please take all the time you need to grieve and work through your emotions. ❤

I didn’t even know there was an awareness week for eating disorders. Thank you for highlighting that

How very sad.
Hope she’s now at peace.
Holding you in my heart

We have been asked to wear something pink for her funeral. I’m not a pink person and have nothing suitable in my wardrobe. I’ve ordered this dress as I want to be able to wear it again. Thoughts?

 

[Merab]

That’s beautiful.
Very fitting to celebrate a special life.

 

[CTWC]

I think it's a lovely choice

 

[weepweeps]

It’s difficult to wear something so pretty to a funeral. But they want pink and to celebrate her life so I hope I’ve not gone OTT.

You could always bring a drabber cardigan along or something just in case. Xx
I hope it's a lovely send-off for her.

 

[Merab]

These days funerals are more relaxed and wearing something bright and colourful is more acceptable.
It highlights the celebration of life.
Wear the dress and enjoy it as your tribute to your friend who is now at peace

 

[Bertie & Jelly]

It’s a beautiful dress. Wear it and remember your dear friend x

I really don't think it's over the top
