You can say that again I feel surrounded by darkness... Although I know that I need to be more aware of letting the "feeling" contol the outcome...

I cannot imagine stepping inside her soul for a single solid second..

I can't, either...I know I am not strong enough to even think of how to survive such an experience.

We are so lucky when (most of) our immediate family are still walking and talking with us. I feel awful for her. There are so many thing to say but I just hope she can survive this. To continue living after this... ugh, I'm speechless

oh my god.

pray

poor woman. i'm gonna be thinking about this for a long time.
we had the same thing in our family, long long ago just before
i was born.

during a daytrip 4 members of my fathers family were killed in
a road accident. my grandfather, my uncle, my grandmother's
sister and my 4 year old cousin. the child's mother was the
sole surviver in the car but had to have major reconstructive
surgery of her face since every bone in her body broke and
her face was basically completly gone.

so in one blow my grandmother lost her husband, a son, sister
and her first (at the time only) grandchild.

i can't tell you in how many ways this has affected our family
as a unit. even now, my uncle still suffers from migrane cause
he never had a chance to really deal with what happened (he
was the one driving in the car behind them when it happened).

back in those days there was no counceling for victims. these
days if you see a street robbery you can get counceling but
back in those days there was nothing like that. people had to
deal with things internally, within the family.

it made my dad's family kinda messed up in some regards. still
to this day all the grown ups get petrified when any of us
children go somewhere in the car. all the women didn't dare to
drive anymore until just recently (!)

accidents like these where half or all of your family is just
ripped away from you at once are simply incomprehensible.

there's not a whole lot people can do for you or say to you
i guess. you just have to do that on your own and hope you
have enough good friends and family left to support you and
stick with you.

other people just tend to forget so fast. if you still want
to talk a year later, lots of people are like "what? still"?"
which is so frustrating.

i guess what i'm trying to say is that i hope your friend's
cousin has enough family and friends to support her in the
long run and that they will keep a close eye on her and also
i will pray for her -although i don't do it often i think
when i really mean it something or someone ís there to listen
to us.

eventhough i guess anyone's faith is tested to the utmost
limit in cases like these where 3 innocent children die,
but still one must believe that there is something that
is looking after us. if only for consolence or to take a
bit of the hurt away from us.

so i pray that this someone or something will be with this
woman and help her right now

i know my grandmother got a lot of strength out of her
faith and somehow managed to live on. sadly she died when
i was only 15 but i'm glad to have been blessed to have
known her that long since she really was the kindest and
warmest person i have ever met in my life.

it was incredible to think how she managed to have such
faith in life and the rest of her surviving relatives
without being bitter or chronically depressed. her faith
is the one thing that has always made me weary of just
rejecting the thought of a god altogether. seeing what
it did for her and what kind of person it made her, it
must be more than just a thought.
