THE NEXT DAY THREAD WEDNESDAY

I had a car accident in which my aunt was killed during the holiday after I finished school. I never talked to anyone about it, and neither did my family talk to me. My father, in his wisdom, even sent me to collect her ashes from the crematorium and had me transfer it from a cardboard box to a miniature coffin. A month after the fact, I left for university. Quite simply, I've been blaming myself for killing another person (my godmother, at that!). I have reached the point where I'm beginning to see it was accident, and I can allow myself to move on. I had fallen asleep at the wheel, not as if I was recless, speeding, DUI or something like that.
The ONLY person I've ever discussed this with has been my wife, and I only met her when I was 25 (7 years after it happened)...
Talk about taking your time to move on, but there it is...
You've been keeping THAT one inside for along time haven't you ?
And yes it was an accident.
Your roads, I'm sure are like ours. Long and tedious, just inviting that exact set of circumstances.
You would be amazed how many times I've seen this sort of thing come through Accident and Emergency...or Casualty as it was 'in my day'.
One poor man, a truck driver, lost his daughter, in the cabin with him at the time. It was FECKING horrible for him.
I think it's a good sign that you are reconciling all of this now Tips :lIf your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

Tip thank you for sharing with us, it cant have been easy. I am so happy for you that you can finally accept that accident for exactly what it was, an accident and hopefully move forward with your life. The visit to the crematorium must have been particularily horific for you.
Onwards and upwards my friend.Ethanol is a toxic chemical, why would I drink it?

G'day Oner's! I read you are feeling better. Bravo!
Bridget, are you talking to me, re kudzu? If so, no, i don't take it, or any other supps, though as mentioned last night, i've just started taking spirilina, just for the hell of it really. I'm tipping it can't hurt, and though i'm as fit as a bull, i suspect my body wont mind after years of abuse.
I don't know where you'd get kudzu in Oz, but will look around here for you.
