    'This is a pain so unbearable': Former Seven network bares feelings after her heartbreaking experience

    To her family and friends please do not forget her. Keep in touch occasionally. The first year or so after you lose a loved one is hard, especially on dates of special significance. After a few weeks people don't bother to keep in touch and often don't return your calls either. Sometimes you...
