The story of a woman who lost her husband due to an accident and fell in love with her husband's best friend has been revealed.



On the 20th local time, foreign media such as the New York Post introduced the story of a woman, Rochelle Pitts (30), who fell in love with her husband's friend, who died in a car accident.

Rochelle met her husband Jesse 13 years ago and got married after dating.

Since then, Rochelle and Jesse are raising three children and awaiting the birth of their fourth.



However, Jessie died in a car accident three days before Christmas 2020.

At that time, Rochelle was six months pregnant.



Rochelle, who described her husband's accident as the worst experience of her life, vowed to raise her children well, believing that she would never love again in her life.

But Rochelle wasn't the only one who suddenly broke up with a loved one.

Jesse's close friend, Scott, was also mourning the death of her friend.



Rochelle and Scott often spent six months sharing sorrows, deep conversations, and discovering each other's interests that they didn't know existed.



Eventually, Rochelle realized that her relationship with her Scott wasn't friendship, and began to distance herself from her.

"Meeting Scott was a burden, and I thought no one would understand this relationship," he told Jam Press.

Scott, noticing his burden, stayed by his side, helping with housework and playing with the children so as not to be a burden on Rochelle.



It turns out that Scott grew up in a large family and was able to be with his four children by the side of Rochelle, who struggled to know better than anyone what it was like to leave her family.



"It's been a year and a half since Jesse passed away, and it's still confusing and difficult every day. But now (with Scott) things are a little different," Rochelle said. "He also misses his friend. We always prepare a separate space for you,” he expressed his gratitude.



Rochelle misses and grieves her husband enough that she is coping with her grief rather than finding a new love, she said, and she is getting ready to go back to life with Scott.

The two shared their stories on social media saying they had to overcome the sadness of losing a loved one by publicly sharing their stories, and netizens who saw this supported them, such as "It must have been a difficult decision, it's great", "If there is a positive result, we support each other." A reaction followed.



But there were also many negative reactions.

Other comments such as "It's too early to fall in love after six months" and "My husband is watching from the sky" left a comment.



Rochelle and her four children, who left her husband and her father in her car accident, say they are feeling grateful for everyday life once more with Scott.
