“My mom lost her phone when they were hit, and it took us a while to find it. When we finally did, I was going through pictures and found that one,” she wrote.

“I looked at the timestamp and realized it was only five minutes before her declared time of d3ath, so it must have been taken seconds before the person hit them.”

Jensen has chosen to share her story on social media to help others understand that ‘it is okay to grieve loudly.’

She encourages people to remember their loved ones, saying: “You don’t have to do it in silence. Talk about your people, scream their names loud and proud and never stop sharing their stories.”
