"It's been pretty awful, tobe honest. My life has nothing in it now, right?I mean, I had a lot of support, which has been really great, but she was my world and it's gone now," he said.

Daigneault's nine-year-old son lived with the couple. With no custody over him, though, Sollosyhas lost him as well.

"I have nothing now," he said."I went from having a family to having nothing."

Heading home from the pharmacy

In the early hours of Oct. 8,the couple was heading home from a run to the pharmacy as Daigneault needed medicine for a toothache.

While stopped at the red light at the intersection of 25th Avenue and Albert Street, Sollosyspotted a vehicle barreling down on him. He had no time to react.

"I didn't even have time to think, 'Hey, we're going to get hit,'" he said. "It was just a knowledge it was going to happen. I couldn't do anything. I didn't have time to say anything. I saw it. I knew it and we were hit."

A Dodge Journey SUV rear-ended their Kia Spectra.

"We just got launched, launched into the intersection. We spun," said Sollosy.

"As soon as I looked over, she was unconsciousand I could hear the blood running out of her mouth and I could hear it splashing off the centre console. Ijust tried to hold her head up so she wouldn't bleed as much."

Daigneaultdied at the scene.

Sollosy was not seriously hurt.

The driver of the SUV, 28-year-old Brendan Sugar, has been charged with impaired driving causingdeath. He was released on $1,000 bail.

Long friendship began online

Sollosy(from Weyburn, Sask.) and Daigneault(from le--la-Crosse, Sask.) met more than a decade ago while playing video games online.

The pair kept in touch and didn't meet in person until six years ago. They were engaged in 2015 and planned to marry in August.

Sollosy described Daigneault as beautiful, funny, smart and kind.

He said she was always doing things for others, especially her son. She first studied psychology in school before turning to nursing.

"She had a huge heart for helping people, especially for the elderly," said Sollosy."All she wanted to do was help people."

Sollosyalso survived a car crash in November 2011. He has had numerous surgeries on his right foot and has decided to amputate it in the spring.

"She took such good care of me, too, especially the last year with how things were really bad for me with the previous injury. It would have been a nightmare without her," he said.

Sollosyhopes telling his personal story will affect people's behaviour and thinking when it comes to driving after drinking.
