Members Amy Smith Posted June 7, 2018 Members Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 May 7, 2018 my 24 year old daughter, 4 year old grandson, and 2 year old granddaughter were in an accident. There was an alligator crossing I95 in South Carolina. Amber swerved in attempt to miss it, but it was 9 ft long and she hit it anyways. It caused her to lose control of the car, she then hit a tree head on and the car exploded. We lost all 3 of them. I’ve cried more tears than I thought were possible. I’m so broken that I’m not even sure of who I am anymore. One minute I’m doing ok and the next I’m wallowing on the ground sobbing. I don’t understand why things like this happen. I’m angry, I’m hurting, I’m just lost. I’ve always believed that everything happens for a reason... but this I just cannot fathom. http://www.wtxl.com/news/florida-mother-kids-killed-in-fiery-i--crash-after/article_6e6cd960-52db-11e8-b0a1-6b646327b1ca.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TearsInHeaven Posted June 7, 2018 Members Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Amy, my heart breaks for you with this tragedy. I know these words get to be just background noise after hearing them so often. Losing a child and grandchildren no matter what age or what circumstances is the loneliest journey a person takes. Sometimes just being able to speak out can help, and sometimes just listening to the path of others can be a help. Cry when you need to, I am sure it will come often. There is nothing wrong with that. We think about the "what ifs," as our mind is trying to take in and process what happened. We want so desperately to be able to go back in time and change the outcome. Sharing your pain can help you process it. Your grief is your own and you will grieve in your own way and your own time. Don’t try to fit a mold or compare to someone else. Grief does not come with instructions. It is up and down, through tunnels and a drop like a roller coaster ride.
