Sufferer Lost My Girlfriend

I didn't know where else to go. I was searching online for anyone who has gone through what I have. My girlfriend and I were in an accident. My car flipped three or four times, and she was ejected. When the car stopped moving I scrambled out and I couldn't find her in the dark. She was closer to the road and when I found her, she was conscious. Bleeding and in pain. I stayed with her until emergency personnel arrived.

They tried to check her and she said she felt sick. I stayed next to her and kept telling her I loved her. Over and over. She was in pain and then she calmed down. She stopped breathing and I kept yelling for her to breath and that I loved her. They strapped her to a board and took her to an ambulance. They flew me to another hospital. That was the last time I saw the love of my life and I feel so empty.

I feel lost. Like nothings okay and nothing ever will be. Not without her. I have terrible nightmares and can't sleep well. I just feel so alone and emotionless aside from grief. I don't know what to do.

I'm so sorry for your loss gjem123, that was a terrible thing that happened, and I know the grief and feelings of emptiness will take a very long time to move through, but one thing I do know is that life may never be the same without her, and I know it feels bad right now, but that does not mean that you will not be ok without her...eventually you will be ok again. It is an incredibly traumatic thing to lose someone you love this way, so don't think I am discounting what has happened.

Are you seeing a counselor to help with your grief?
 
I'm not. My injuries from the accident will have me on bed rest for another month or so. Everything just feels so bleak. I feel almost confused. Like I don't have the right emotion. She's always on my mind. I don't know where to go or what to do from here. Without her.
 
Hi gjem123,

I am sorry for your loss. Once you have had the opportunity to heal physically enough to get out, it would be a really good idea to get some counseling. Psychological injuries can be just as sever as physical injuries and it is important that you are able to treat both.

I hope you find the information and support here helpful.

Wishing you the best.

gjem123,

I have suffered PTSD for nearly 4 years, as a result of losing my boyfriend in a horrific accident. If you haven't sought therapy, please, please do! If you need anyone to talk to you can message me anytime, I still have insomnia so I'm up every few hours.

That feeling of being alone no matter how many people surround you is all too familiar. Big hugs to you!
