Subject: I was the driver in the accident that killed my little brother

Author: maria (hurts the same every day)

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:33:52 08/02/07 Thu I scan the message board hoping to see someone like me who was involved in the cause of their siblings death. I loved him so much and 18 yrs later just to type this the pain is still like a knife shot down my chest. I was 17, he was 13 - he was the light of our family, all love, all fun, all great kid full of life - , I missed a stop sign for no reason. Today on the outside I look ok, and many yrs of therapy and now EMDR have helped. But what I have always wanted was to talk to someone like me, who had an accident and has trouble being alive when they think about it. Thank you anyone for responding.

Date Posted: 20:31:27 08/05/07 Sun Dear Maria, There are many young people who were accidentally the one who "killed" a sibling, most often in car accidents but also in shooting or boating accidents. The two national support organizations, Bereaved Parents of the USA and Compassionate Friends both have annual gatherings and there is usually a small group of people who share your pain. I highly recommend that you attend one of these meetings. You are not alone. Peg [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
