No food No Sleep since the accident

What you saw yesterday was a dreadful thing, roxy, and it’s not going to leave you quickly… its very upsetting to have something so awful happen. Time will help the image and the memory fade, so please believe what you’re experiencing is very normal, although its difficult. You start to question mortality, wonder more about life and making the best of every day, and you will naturally put things in a different perspective now, even though you didn’t know him.

This is a storm within yourself that you have to ride out. When I was going through a trauma, I found it helpful to write about it. No-one read what I wrote, it was just an outlet. Do consider visiting the parents and giving some small condolences as a neighbor, and even maybe attending the funeral. These are all activities and rituals that help us humans work through things a little bit.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Do recognize the magnitude of what you saw yesterday. And don’t forget, there are counselors you can talk to who can help you with more coping skills… but so far, what you’re describing is a very expected reaction.

what happened? what did you do?

Something like this, can certainly throw us into shock… and it will take some time to process what you have experienced.

I imagine that your view of life will be permanetly altered. However, life does go on, even in the face of great tradgies.

Studying on grief, may be a help, or there are probably message boards for those who have experienced tradegies, sharing your experience can help, and listening to that of others may help you to process this.

Also, prayer is of great help, here are some links where you can post a request if you choose to do so.
