Sunset Selfie?

This newspaper story broke my heart on so many levels when I read it, as it's such a tragic and senseless waste of a young life, and especially on her 33rd birthday.

Plus, it's a part of my hometown that holds special memories for me when I walked along these cliffs the day before my own father passed away -

Stop the Clocks? Signs?

her 33rd birthday when tragedy struck

I've never seen a news story of anyone losing their life from falling off these cliffs, but I'm well aware that people have done, from my walk along the cliffs with my younger brother in 2016 when we saw a heartfelt flower arrangement and chalk message to another life lost there.

I don't plan to do the walk anytime soon, but next time I do I will leave a rose each in memory of these two lives.

Whatever happened here, accident or otherwise,
must have been tragic, too

What's worse is that I saw Nick Cave play the Riverstage (which is directly across the river from those cliffs) in my hometown back in 2017 when he resumed touring again after Nick had taken time off touring to mourn the death of his teenage son who also fell off a cliff while taking a selfie in England -

I can only imagine what it would be like to lose a son or daughter in such a tragedy, and that is heartbreaking enough I reckon.

I'm sure Sofia won't be the last, either unfortunately.
