    This entire story broke me into small pieces. I understand that this woman loved her partner and did not want to to let go but the possibiities of them being alive is very slim. Let go . He wont come back and we are sorry for your loss. All of you.

    Life on sea isn’t easy especially now as trump is in our waters playing God. But with all honesty where could they possibly be if not dead. It’s time to let you wound heal.

    Wow. I must admit I had forgotten about them. This is really sad. I hope they were not one of Trump casualties

    One thing about life is accepting to reality of it! I ache for these families but there’s little to no hope that these guys are still alive out there. There could be a possibility but for right now, hope is thin

    I just pray the family peace in this time. Time passes, the pain won’t but you’ll be able to cope better overtime. I will stay extending my prayers
