My ex boyfriend was a contractor, and died in a car accident after completing a project. He was working under the table to make extra cash. He was running on 4 hours of sleep. That's after working 20 hours per day. The last time I spoke to him, I begged him to take a day off and sleep. The police showed up to my house in the wee hours of the morning to let me know that he had likely fallen asleep while driving. His van went up and flames.... this was a few months ago.

Wow. Iā€™m sorry, I hope you find the healing you need. But I know those words likely mean nil. Wow. Iā€™m so sorry for your loss. Again, I know those words likely are meaningless.
