my husband was in a car accident a couple of years ago. a woman pulled out in front of him on the highway. unfortunately a woman we knew was in the vehicle and passed away. we were so upset.
yes, there are many times the emotional pain from tragic events are worse than physical. it does not make it easier that it was a person you knew, i am sure.
it was so sad. she was such a sweet lady. my husband had some minor injuries, but is better now. the emotional pain was the worst thing.
