- About my Loss:
- On April 1,2009 me, my mother and 3 daughters were in a horrible auto accident. my mom was driivin she is a good driver. katelyne my 6 year old let her seatbelt up to grap her puppy that jumped outta her lap. my oldest daughter hollared at my mom that katelyne had accktulley let her seat belt lose. my mom looked back for just a seckond to tell them to hook there belts back. as soon as thay did my mother realized she had vered off the road a bit there were no sholders on this road she tryed to get the truck back on the road straight. we ended up flippin several times down a verry steep embankment. my oldest got out to get help she was ok and only sustained minor injerys so did my 3 year old. I broke my back n neck n couldent move to check on katelyne. i woke my mom to check on her she opend her door and seen her half under the car and said she knew she was gone. she then passed out . my oldest daughter stopped a game warden. that imidatlly call air life we all hoped it was for katelyne i was still stuck in the car. the ambulances were for my mom n other two kids air life was for me i was seriousley injured and n the hospital for a month. My husband came and finally told me she didnt make it my world stopped i never got to say bye r see her again i couldent go to her funeral thay thought i was next to die n in a way i wish i had. i miss her so much and do not think i will ever feal the same. part of my hart and soul are gone but i have to be strong for my other two kids and my mother that feal horrible guilt. Even thou it wasnt her fault. i cry in my sleep and everyday i miss her so much. i am healed for the most part i can even walk witch the docters didnt think i could ever do again but i whould rather not if i could just have her back .

Perhaps, when you are feeling stronger you can all get together to make a Celebration of Katelyne's life which may help. You are right about one thing, we are never the same after the loss of a child and it takes a long time to get your head around that - but you will get there. Times changes us, very slowly until we are able to forge a 'new me' out of the pieces of the old 'me'.
You are still so very early on in your grief and have had to recover from your own injuries - please try to be gentle with yourself and take one day at a time. The first year is the worst obviously, the following years get 'different'. My daughter died 8 years ago - my life hasn't been the same since she left but it did change and the change brought me another happiness, different but worth living for. I'm here for you any time you need a rant - we get the most understanding from others who have experienced the absolute worst thing any one has to endure and that understanding will get you through some of your hardest times.
