Even though so many weeks have passed, I still haven’t recovered from the shock. I felt as if death has touched us and slipped away. I am back home from hospital together with my wife and the children, we’re grateful to be alive and well. The bruises are clearing but the trauma remains. Whenever I think about the incident, something happens to me, I’m so scared and worried for my wife and children.
Recalling the harrowing accident that took place some weeks before, I still relive those agonizing moments, to save a child on the road, the driver swerved and our car overturned. A truck coming from the other side slammed into us and none of us know what happened after that. When regained consciousness, I first asked about my wife and children and was relieved to hear they were alive. But when I heard about the driver’s death, I was so upset and so am I till now; I don’t know how to forget about this incident!

I have never been able to forget the accident in which I lost my brother, I was the one driving and this has been the most terrific nightmare of my whole life, I feared that my parents and everybody would accuse me of been responsible for it but thanks God, they did not even let me feel so, they only blamed the fate for that! But you are fortunate that you didn’t lose your dear ones in the accident! SO, you see, you are not responsible for the drivers death, I know this is what is troubling you the most, so think of your family and forget about the accident and help them to forget it too.

Oh i don't think that you'll ever forget this accident but you can overcome it. It has marked you and your family's life in a strong way. But be courageous and focus your energy elsewhere. Do not feel guilty about what happened. Persuade your family about that and do not hold anyone responsible.. time will heal your wounds but do get busy in other things. It'll help.

What exact detail makes you feel this way?

There are not only disadvantages in all what happened, am i right? Do you mean that you regret what you did for the child?

Do you think you are the one responsible for the accident?

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. However long the night, the dawn will break. What I'm trying to say dear, that an accident is always a big trauma and the fact there is one person died, its even worst. Gradually but surely you will have to overcome it.

Splash...how did you help Getwell with your replies.....???? It seems that you are having a consultation in your private cabinet.....bombardement of questions. ....
How do you think she feels better by answering questions ?
You are WEID.

I don't understand,the problem is not clear enough..It is good that Splash ask for questions...."Bombardement of questions" ....Is there another way of helping without questioning,Getwell?..I had a friend like you,Juliana...who never had questions but only replies..he said that he could read in people's mind... weird guy..If I had this kind of problem I would like very much to feel that I am in a private cabinet..

You can't jump into conclusions only reading a paragraph, people need to express themself completely. People need to open themselves. This is the only way for them to feel better. We need to make the person feel comfortable first, then we start to help. Without trust, some persons never open themselves completely
