Hello and welcome to the forum. :)

I am sorry you had to see that and I am sorry you are having trouble. Are you seeing a therapist or have any support?

There is a very supportive and understanding community here. Take you time and read and when you feel comfortable feel free to jump in.

Dalgon,

Firstly may I say how sorry I am for this loss, and how awful you must be feeling emotionally right now.

I also was in a car crash my fiance was driving with my children in the back. I lost my rock, my love, my wonderful loving fiance of 8 years. This was five years ago almost.

I hope you have a good support system in place with friends and family and good doctors to support you through this time.

I went through such high intensity of emotions, and I expect you are too. The what if's what if I hadn't gone out that day. What if that strange day....The brain can take you to some weird places. I'm sure you will explore them sticking at times with things.

I found drawing very helpful to draw what I felt and to try and label a word for what I was feeling. for me there was also the funerals my fiances birthday and Christmas and New year all with in a month of the crash.

I also have a co worker who lost her 17 year old driving and she went through anger at why her son had drove his car so fast and was angry at him for losing him and her loss, grief etc.

any time I can be a listening ear, or you want to vent your feelings you just do that.

Hi Dlogan,

Welcome to the PTSD Forum. I am sorry that you had to witness such a tragedy and are still suffering the aftereffects. Have you been diagnosed with PTSD and are you receiving any type of therapy? Because therapy, information, and support can go a long way in helping you to heal and learn to manage the symptoms of this disorder.

I hope you find the information and support from this site helpful as you heal.

Take care.

Debbie

Thank you so much for the response, I have never done anything like this. I guess I come from one of those families where we dont show how we are feeling, always be tough always be strong.

I watched the whole accident unfold in front of me, I managed to stop before being apart of it myself, out of pure instinct I jumped out to help but it was to late. I tried to save them I tried CPR, but I wasnt able to save those beautiful babies.

The images are branded in my mind everything from the sounds to the smells. I often times feel it wasn't supposed to be them and I often times ask God why did you take innocent children I was right there two seconds sooner I would have been the one in the accident not them.
