I wasn't gunna say anything, because I'm trying to focus on the happy, being home, my family, friends, chickens, new car..
But I witnessed something almost unspeakable this morning, and can't stop seeing it. A pedestrian struck by a semi, on I-81. Fatally. It was all so fast. I can't even tell you how it happened. Only that out of the corner of my eye I saw something and then there was a body in the passing lane on the southbound side. I just wanna be able to close my eyes without seeing it.💔
I'm so sorry. I've seen one or two similar incidents over the years and they're indelibly burned into my memory. The only comfort you can take in the situation is that the victim was probably already dead before he hit the pavement.
@JeSsA 😥 I am sorry you had to witness such a horrible thing. I many years ago saw a friend of my middle child get hit by a van and was stuck under the front wheel. Luckily the boy survived but had to get his skull stapled. I will never get the awful image out of my brain however thinking about it will lessen with time. Just a lot of big hugs for you dear. 💔
I am so sorry you had to experience that. I had something similar and the trauma comes up at the oddest time.
But it is also good something like that can affect you and hurt you, because it means your a kind empathic soul who wants the best for people. Especially if you can grieve for a complete stranger you never saw before.
I am so sorry. ❤️
@JeSsA you'll get there.
@JeSsA I'm so sorry you witnessed that. Try not to keep reliving it, visualizing it - if you can. Do you have a pet or kids you can play with? Or even play a game? Research shows that playing Tetris right after witnessing something traumatic can prevent traumatization.
She has a houseful of pets that adore her.
@JeSsA OMG!
