It's early on Monday morning, 30 April, and you wake up after a half-sleep that lasted no more than three hours.
It was three hours of unconsciousness, three hours of forgetting and now you've woken up to the anguish of your new reality.
Your only thoughts are that it can't be true and yet is it and your suffering is too much but you somehow have to face the day. How?!!
This is the crushing reality of the loved ones of TV stars
Akhumzi Jezile, Siyasanga Kobese and Thobani Mseleni following their tragic deaths on Saturday (28 April) and our most sincere condolences go out to them.
The crash that took their lives reflects the true horrors of our roads.
Other South African stars who've died on them include Top Billing's Simba Mhere, Backstage star and presenter Antonio Summerton and Isidingo's Ashley Callie, which highlights what a scourge they are.
The South African TV industry was dealt a brutal blow this weekend and will be deeply scarred by the loss of the three stars whose light went out too, too soon.
Here's a link to their TVSA profiles for you to remember their careers:
