This poor man is so devastated you can see the change in his face. It’s like he’s aged 10 years because of the pain. My condolences 💐

Her last moments were the happiest of her life. I hope the legal process is swift and the family can focus on healing.

If you can’t feel this man’s grief you’re not human. Aric, I pray for your family’s healing and abundant restoration for your broken heart.

This is so heartbreaking. I hope she never gets out of jail. She's a danger to society

The raw look of grief on this man’s face…Man prayers up to you and your family

This poor guy is lost. You can tell in his eyes, he’s lost everything. So tragic that this accidents are so common now a days. Bless her soul and his recovery. Prayers to all involved.

I think if I lost my soul mate on my wedding day I'd be ready to take my own life. I could never have the strength this man has to go on tv and speak. It's crazy the respect I have for him I wish there was something we could do to ease his pain but I know we can't. The game of life, True love and tragic death💯

So incredibly heartbreaking. What a huge loss for this man and their families. The grief is unimaginable.

I can’t even fathom the pain he’s experiencing everyday without his wife by his side. It’s so heartbreaking

I lost half my family in a tragic car accident a week before Christmas 2013. My significant other (28 years old) and his little brother who lived with us (18 years old) gone in the blink of an eye. I became widowed at the ripe old age of 26 years old and left with our 3 year old daughter to raise on my own. It’s a hell I wouldn’t wish on my worse enemy and it’s truly a miracle I survived that time in my life. Some advice I can pass along…The first year you will be in a fog, just going through the daily motions while everyone else’s lives move forward. There’s a name for this first year and it’s called “widows fog”. They say not to make any big life changing decisions or even small ones during this time because your brain has been through so much trauma, physically, emotionally, mentally. Therefore our brains are just not functioning like normal. I believe that fog is almost a form of protection from the excruciating pain. Enjoy that first year because after that fog lifts and everyone around you has moved on from the tragedy, that’s when it really hits the absolute hardest. That’s when you realize every day that goes forward into the future takes you further away from the one you love and all of sudden you wish you could go back to that first year just to be closer to her. 💗 Men grieve differently from woman. There’s no timeline to grief, no steps you must go through, no right or wrong way. Some find companionship quickly after, alot of widows often seek out the comfort of someone who was close to the deceased one as well. Some like myself, choose to still be alone 10 years later. All of it is okay. I highly suggest going on Facebook and joining some of young widowers groups. Those groups saved my life early on in a lot of ways because nobody else can truly understand the nightmare unless they’ve been through it themselves. And it helps tremendously to be connected to others going through similar and just knowing you’re not alone in your pain. The bad news is you have a long journey ahead but the good news is and as much as I didn’t want to hear it at the time, one day in future there will be a light at the end of the very dark tunnel. The constant pain will lessen and eventually turn into a dull ache that ebbs and flows like the ocean waves. Some days those waves will get so high and literally leave you gasping for air. Other days those waves might be calm and still. Don’t fight against them. You just gotta ride them out. In the end, the man you will become after trekking this journey will be one of uttermost strength, perseverance, truly indestructible, and given the rare gift to see and appreciate life in a way most others can’t. 10 years later and I can finally say that I wouldn’t be who I am today if I didn’t survive such a tragedy in my life. In some strange way, it revealed me to myself and I wouldn’t change that for anything. 💪🏼 Hang in there! 🤍

Ugh, I went to school with Sam. She was such a sweet person. When I first heard about this tragedy, I absolutely could not believe this was THE Samantha Miller I grew up with. So much love to all of her friends and family ❤️ I'm so sorry

My God! This man’s grief is palpable! Even the reporter seemed upset! Such a tragic, awful, avoidable accident! Prayers for everyone but esp Aric! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

This is beyond heartbreaking. A few hours earlier they were thinking about the rest of their lives, and hours later she’s gone forever… So devastating. Sickening. I hope that drunk driver NEVER gets out of prison.

This is probably the most heartbreaking I have every seen. The happiest day of your life and in a matter of seconds it's all gone. Prayers for this grieving man.

And it didn’t end. She’s up there buddy, dancing in those sparklers and so proud of you for being so strong. 💕 Take care of yourself and give yourself plenty of grace. Praying for you ❤

Absolutely heartbreaking to see. You just want to give this guy a major hug. Hope he finds happiness again one day...

He has suffered a horrible loss as well as her family what a horrible tragedy. My heart goes out to all of you. She looked like such absolutely beautiful woman. Bless you all.

This will change him forever. Grieving will take years. His wife did not want to die but was killed so carelessly. I hope he gets justice and heals eventually

I was hit by a drunk driver. All I can say is, you have no idea how irresponsible you were. Not only did you put my life at risk but you and others on the road. I lost a lot that day, my car- job promotion, and strength in my spine but I’m lucky to be alive. All I can is, please be safe on the road everyone. It took one second for my entire life to flip upside down. I’m lucky to be alive. In this case my heart is broken for this man, his wife- and the entire family/ friends that had to hear the bad news. ❤️

While this is unbelievably tragic.. I find peace in knowing her last day was spent being the HAPPIEST DAY of her life, and she was surrounded by friends and family. She was beautiful. My heart breaks for this family and this man.

I’m crying watching this. Even the interviewer seemed teared up. You can just feel the pain through the screen. How could someone be so reckless? 😢

God, this is unbearable. Please,God, give this man strength.

Oh my god. I’m in tears. This is unfathomable. I know he needs his space but I wish we could all hug him and show support.

This is so heartbreaking. Prayers to him and his family to get through this difficult time 😢😢😢

I’m a stranger and I’m absolutely heartbroken by this, I can’t even begin to process what he must be going through. There are no words…

The fact that her car looked like that after hitting a golf cart is insane lucky any of them survived

Absolutely horrific. His pain is palpable. One of the saddest stories I've seen & I am sending tons of prayers.

I'm honestly never emotional but seeing this guy like this hits pretty damn hard. How do you go on when the reason for hope dies like that... your selected future... man i wish he finds purpose in these rough times.

They couldn't find a nicer and more compassionate person to interview him? She seems so cold and that glued smile on her face🫣

It’s just incredible how life shows you immense joy and happiness, and immense pain and sorrow in the span of a single day. He was married in the morning, and by evening, a widower. She had her life at the start of the day, and by the end, she lost her life.

My heart goes out to this guy, his family, her family, everyone they love, and everyone who loves them. 🖤

This was excruciating to watch. I’m sitting here balling. 😭 This poor man ~ I can’t even begin to imagine the grief and pain he’s experiencing. Prayers for him and all of their family members. 🙏🏻

This is so beyond heartbreaking. He lost his wife on their wedding night because of someone else’s ruthless and careless decision. My thoughts and prayers are with Sam’s husband, family, and loved ones. Rest in peace Sam. 💗

Lord I can’t even IMAGINE what he’s feeling and experiencing. From having the best day of your life to the utterly worst day in a blink of an eye is beyond me. I sure pray he and the family can gain comfort and hope.

The pain in his eyes is unimaginable. Sam was a beautiful woman, inside and out. I’m so sorry 💔

This brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for his loss. I hope he gets justice for this senseless act. When will people learn that you cannot drink and drive!! My prayers are with him and his family.

“She’s the type that walks in a room”…. Then he starts crying he seems to kind of forget she’s passed away. So very sad & tragic. This is truly heartbreaking 💔

My heart goes out to this guy. I can't even imagine the pain he is in. Their whole life was ahead of them and taken away in an instant. Prayers for him and her family.

This is truly heartbreaking. Sending love and light to him and their families for some kind of peace.

This is why I stopped drinking. I can’t imagine being a part of any of this. This is devastating.

I know nothing will bring his wife back but he deserves to get justice and closure. My heart goes out to him and his family.

Words cannot express my anger at this drunk driver and my deepest condolences to you sir.😢

Wow I can’t even imagine how bad he must feel. What a horrible thing to happen. Sending my condolences. ❤️

This is so unimaginably cruel. Utterly heartbreaking. I hope he gets a lot of support from family and friends and gets grief counseling and a therapist to help him through this. I feel so much empathy for him and his loss is just too much for one person on a night he was suppose to start the rest of his life with his love

It's so hard to watch this video without getting teary eyed and choked up. Aric seems like such a great guy. Prayers for him and his recovery, as well as Sam's family and friends. And anyone else who is also in this same situation.

I can't even imagine him even being this composed to give sn interview. Thanks for sharing your feelings with this interview. Everyone who heard of this tragedy 3 weeks ago has you in their prayers. Hang on to the memories. My heart breaks for you.

My heart breaks for this man and his family 💔

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this challenging time. May her memories always live with every moment shared. May the driver live every second of her life thinking about how she drove drunk and took the life of a newlywed and destroyed the family. A driver’s license is a privilege and the moment you drove your car that is when you lost that privilege to ever drive again.

Drunk drivers steal SOOO MUCH. This breaks my heart. My mom was killed by a drunk driver before I was married or had children. I call it generational theft! And to be honest I don’t see it as an accident b/c you KNOW beforehand what the consequences COULD BE of getting drunk. I see it as an intentional crime. These horrible crimes are not taken seriously enough and devastate families FOREVER! I hope this man continues to heal and seek justice. My most sincere condolences.

This is the definition of absolute tragedy. Pray for this man, may he recover fully and find happiness again

I am so so sorry this happened and it shouldn’t of never happened . You and your beautiful bride deserve nothing but true justice . I can’t imagine the pain you feel. Keeping you in my prayers.

I can’t even imagine this pain. It wouldn’t ever feel real. Praying for this man and his family. And praying for justice.

Aric, if you happen to read this, I just want to say I’m so sorry for your loss brother. I can’t even begin to understand the sheer amount of anger and grief you may have. Although your beautiful wife isn’t here anymore physically, just know she is with you forever within your heart and will help you throughout the rest of yours. Sending my upmost condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. ❤💐🙏🕊️

As someone young who also suddenly became widowed 7 months ago, I want to say to him I am so so sorry. For me it was traumatic too. It was a terrible shock, to suddenly lose the love of my life and my best friend in one life-changing evening. I see his tears and I feel those from experience, and I just want to say, you're not alone in your grief. There are many of us out here. Too many unfortunately, but we are here. After the initial shock, when you are ready, my one piece of advice is that it feels good to connect with other young widows/widowers. They've either walked this dark road before, or are currently walking it, and have alot of support to give. Not only do you lose your spouse and best friend, but you lose all your hopes and dreams and few will understand that specific situation and your specific feelings and thoughts like other young widows/widowers. I was also surprised that when it happened to me, that a few older adult aquaintances that I knew reached out to me to tell me theor own tragic stories of their first wives or husbands who had died decades prior. Information I was totally unaware of actually. All of these stories of other's experiences can't make the pain less, but they can help you feel less alone in your grief. It's a club no one wants to be a part of. I'm sending him so much love and may the universe carry him through this initial shock to calmer days and weeks. ❤

i really wish this man so much emotional strength right now. i hope he holds on qnd finds some sort of peace amongst all this darkness on him. he needs so much hugs and love right now. poor guy

No one deserves this pain. Just unimaginable.

This is gut wrenching. That drunk woman should have to watch this video over and over for the rest of her life! My heart aches for this man and all of the family and friends who are suffering such a huge loss.

Im crying my eyes out watching this. This is the absolute most tragic thing. My condolences to Aric, and Sam's family. Sending my love

My heart goes out to you. I just watched this news story and my eyes are watery. I could tell that you loved your wife with all your heart. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family and friends in my prayers. GOD BLESS YOU! HUGS FROM ARIZONA.

That is so heartbreaking I will pray for you and her family sorry for your loss

Why are the reporters smiling?

Oh my lord, I've been in that spot. Hit by a drunk (as a pedestrian), my significant other died. Waking up and asking where that person is and being told they died is devastating. It will stick with me everyday. I feel for you man. It's a long road ahead. This will forever be a part of you.😢❤

My heart hurts for this poor man, you can feel the pain in his voice❤

This is the most heartbreaking thing in the world every time I remember that this happened I want to cry and it's nothing compared to what so many of her friends and family feel every single day

Am I the only one who wants to slap that smile off the interview’s face? The poor guy just suffered a terrible loss, could barely keep it together, and she’s sitting there with a smug look as if she’s enjoying it.

How do you comprehend and live through something like this? My heart goes out to this man and all families involved

The interviewer was perfect for this story. She was so connected and engaged throughout. The fact that she was also moved by the story was touching. So much empathy and sympathy. Thank you.

I’m so sorry for your loss the pain will not go away and moving on will be the hardest thing to do. I hope he talks to someone like a professional because it will help him go on with his life. He will need all the support and love.

My deepest sympathies go out to this man and everyone who loved Sam. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Why is the reporter smiling ? So sickening

Couldn't finish watching this.. Absolutely heartbreaking.

This happened in the lowcountry of S.C. where i live and the community is still very rocked from this. Heartbreaking.

I lost my best friend Ashley Dauber since elementary due to a drunk driver. Killing her while she was on vacation. Taking her life and her younger cousins. I never imagined going through life without my bestfriend. We had whole life plans. College plans and etc. Her family is my family still till this day. I cant imagine this pain he's going through. Its so hard.

The grief must be unimaginable. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to him and the families 😢

I'm so sorry for your loss, no words can help. God Bless you

This is heartbreaking, my goodness. Condolences to you and your family. Take care.

Why is that interviewer laughing and smirking the whole time🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

My heart breaks for this man. Incredibly horrific and sad. I hope and pray he is surrounded by those who love and support him.

So sad. To have a love like that & lose someone so special. My heart goes out to this young man

I can’t even begin to imagine how anyone involved feels. Truly heart breaking

I don't normally get emotional or react to videos and stories on youtube - but this was absolutely heartbreaking. My heart goes out to Aric and his family for their loss. Such a senseless tragedy. I hope this woman is punished to the full extent of the law and the lawsuits be successful at sending a message that this just can't be tolerated in society.

My heart breaks for this man!!!!

I feel your pain. I’m so sorry to hear this news. I hope you can handle this and I’m here for you from really far in the world, Philippines 🙏🏻

I can't even imagine. That is truly horrific. Im truly so sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences to Aric and both their families. What a truly unimaginable tragedy for all of them.

My heart breaks into a million pieces for this man and their families. 😢 this is absolutely horrible.

That’s so horrible 🥺💔 Prayers to him, his and her family.

Im so tearful watching this. That poor man. I just want to give him a hug. I hope you can live a full life sir. Go where you need to go to grieve. But please come back and live your best life.

The woman interviewing him may have had a “smile” on her face BUT let me tell ya….she was fighting back the tears the entire time! You could see the tears welling up…and even at the very end of this clip when she said “he wanted to do this interview so the world could know the Sam he fell in love with” you could tell she was choking up! I wouldn’t be able to do this without bawling my eyes out with him!

Omg, I’m in tears. This is so very heartbreaking. I can’t imagine his pain. Praying for physical and emotional healing for this guy!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine your pain. I can tell you have a beautiful and pure heart. I will pray for you to find comfort and strength during this difficult situation 🙏🏻 🫂🩵🤍

The fact that we as people are publicly putting this mans pain on TV as entertainment and for an interview is sick. We as society need to be better.

Some people listening to or going through grief or something heartbreaking can’t help but smile. It’s a way of not breaking down. You can see the reporter has tears in her eyes too, but she smiles with compassion as not to breakdown

What a huge tragedy. Deepest condolences to him and all her loved ones.

So very sorry for your loss. What a beautiful people you are!!❤

So heartbreaking.. Love and prayers!

My heart breaks for him. Damn.🙏🏾

This couple looked so happy and very loving on their best day. It’s unimaginable that their lives were turned upside down due to yet another drunk driver. Drunk drivers never learn and should never be given a second chance once they take an innocent person’s life. Everyone involved will be held accountable. I hope he is able to heal his heart. I’m so sorry.

So sad, that guy needs a hug...heartbreaking and prayers of comfort

Unimaginable grief I wish time can heal True love never dies RIP Samantha
