I am having a very hard time tonight. I came upon an accident today and it was very bad....there was an Illinois State Trooper that was on am emergency call and something went terriablly wrong....

His car launched from the Eastbound traffic lanes into the Westbound labes...he hit a car head on and killed the driver instantlly. the passenger of the car was still alive and screaming for help, while being burned to death...

I can't get the sound of her screams out of my head....I don't know how to deal with this....

can anyone help me please???

I'm so sorry luv...this sounds truly shocking.

Maybe you need to speak to somebody...a close friend or even a therapist?

You'll be in my thoughts though...feel for you.hug

Horrible.

I agree - talk to some friends, consider a therapist. Perhaps during the interim - pray.

Please take care.hug

I have seen things simular to this before when I was an OTR Driver... I have never seen anything this bad...the fact that she was alive and myself or no one else could help her or stop her pain is what is getting to me

Squirly ... its terrible and wont be easy on you for a while ... the feeling of having been there and unable to do anything is real bad .... but sometimes u cant help at all ... try to get your head of the accident .. think of the woman and say a prayer in your mind for her peace !!!!!!

then try to get some sleep.. take a pill ( anxiety relieving ) it will help .

think you need to see a counsillor they always are very helpful towards people who have experienced shocka like that it must have been trully horrible to witness something as you did.

I experienced the exact same thing many years ago. It haunted me for a long time. Take solace in the fact that this person is no longer in pain and has moved on.

I agree with Detente, you may need to see a therapist. Maybe go to your doctor and he can recommend someone. Just be careful about taking any medication. Imassquirly, not knowing your faith or belief, pray for those involved, ask for peace of mind.

Your compassion towards this person is everything she needed, then and now.

Because it was traumatic and experienced. Not read in a newspaper, but actually witnessed.

It happened. It's over. You witnessed it. Place it in perspective, people die daily in tragic situations. There was nothing you could have done to prevent it. But you have shared your pain with many, and that is all that may be expected of anyone.

Lynn... hug hug

I'm sooo sorry you had to go through that...

But on the *Bright side*... thank your lucky stars you aren't a rescue worker who has to go through that almost 'daily'. hug (the unsung heroes.. who take these feelings home.. night after night after NIGHT)


I'm very sorry that you had to witness that.. reeeally..

I know it doesn't help... but nothing we say is going to make it any better for you... (time heals... yada yada)

BUT thank gawwd it wasn't YOU hey? and thank gawwwwd too... you DON'T have to witness that daily. hug hug

YOU are still here.. alive and kicking..

You cant do anything to change what happened.. nothing anyone else says... nothing you say.. or think .. will change this.. but it wasn't YOU. hug

Unfortunately... I think you have to just chalk this down as a sad gruesome heartbreaking *experience*.




hug hug
