On Tuesday it will have been 10 years since the accident that took my husband. I’m sitting on the beach at 10:30 feeling absolutely lost. I was fine till I broke my glasses and spent the whole day trying to get new ones. I don’t know that I should post here. I have let several peas down lately as I disappeared when they needed me. I’m struggling with things but it seems I’m always struggling despite therapy and moving and etc etc. I am in charge of my daughters trust fund for another 18 months. I’m terrified of what happens then. Over the years I’ve been called to be deposed at different law suits regarding the truck defect that played a part in the whole nightmare. I haven’t been able to share details due to his mom being on my Facebook. It turns out my memory doesn’t line up with the accident reconstruction. We flipped three times not once. I have added photos below. That tiny triangle is there my daughter and I were sitting. You can see the drivers side was completely pancaked. They are hard to look at but it’s not as bad as the first time I saw them at a deposition. The attorney didn’t know I had never seen them before. I was well shielded. I’m not sure there is a point here. I’m just trying to clear my head. I have too many responsibilities to just curl up into a ball this week. Maybe just posting this will release the building pressure. Some years are better but some are not. Sometime the day before is the worst of it due to anticipation and not knowing what will happen I’m hoping that’s what is going on. One of the things that I do remember clearly from those days are you guys. I remember all the kind words and the support you guys have provided over the years. I’m very lucky to have you guys here.

10 years. Wow. I’m sure it feels like yesterday and another lifetime all at the same time. ❤️

It doesn’t seem like 10 years have gone by. Seeing that truck is shocking. I can’t believe you and your daughter were in that little triangular space. I wish I had some magic words that would ease your pain. All I can do is say that I care.

OMG. Those photos are horrifying. I can't imagine what it must have been like for you, seeing them for the first time. I'm so sorry for all that you've been through.
Like others have already mentioned, I can't believe it's been 10 years. I remember clear as day you telling us about the accident when it happened. I'm really sorry that you're struggling.

I'm glad that you know you can always come here Oh it’s a long story. She’s no longer speaking to me at this point. She is still very angry over the events of the last 10 years. I don’t say much because I don’t feel like her info is something that is mine to share.

Sending hugs, you have dealt with a lot over the last decade. The pictures are very sobering.

I’m another who remembers and can’t believe it has been ten years but I know that’s just a number. Will be thinking of you this week. Wishing you peace.

What a very long, trying 10 years for you. Do you have a bereavement group locally where you can talk to others and get some support?

The photos are shocking, and I imagine are etched in your brain. Sometimes ten years feels like a long time but it doesn’t take much to make it seem just like yesterday. Be gentle with yourself, life has been so hard on you. Sending transatlantic hugs.

It can feel as fresh at 10 years as it does at 10 days. Hugs to you, and peace to get you through this difficult time. Those truck photos!!

Thinking about you. Can you find a grief group or a therapist to help you through the next few days? If not, we are here for you.

I’m so sorry she’s not speaking to you. I know that the two of you had struggles along the way. She’s probably filled with as much grief as you are and sometimes that clouds our vision of life. I remember when this happened because your sister was a member of a RAK group that I was part of. I remember praying for you and your family. Come here and vent whenever you need to with as little information as you can give. This place can be a great source of comfort.

Ten years. I remember when you first posted about it. The photos are just devastating and heartbreaking. There are no adequate words to express my sincere and heartfelt condolences for your loss and for what you were and are still going through. I’m so sorry. I have found that grief and the resulting pain in not something you ever ‘get over’. Instead you just move through it, at your own pace and speed. Sometimes, you even get stuck in it. But as time goes by, it becomes the road less traveled. There will always be triggers, There will always be sadness. But there also be peace. A different kind of peace, along with sadness and acceptance.
Wishing you peacefulness and calm, now and in the future.

It must be so very hard for you to have lost your husband to this horror, and now to be feeling isolated from your daughter. Im glad you’re sharing with us and that we’re able to surround you with a circle of strength.
