Why him and not me?

Why him and not me?
by Erica c on May 05, 2021, 02:33PM

I was in a terrible head on collision with my grandpa and he passed away and I didn’t so I feel guilty and most days I would do anything to trade places with him. I had to get surgery on my knee and it took me 2 months to learn to walk again and it’s still hard for me to walk up stairs and do other every day things but the worst pain is that I don’t have my paw anymore and it’s not fair. The person who hit us was passing a school pus in a no passing zone in a blind curve and he was fine. I’m so hurt and upset I don’t know what to do anymore

I know this is an old post but I still want to reply. I hope you’re better. I lost my wife in an accident. She was killed riding her bike I thought “why not me” for a while. Therapy helped but time is the best healer. Take Care
