Oh Queenie hon,
It's an awful thing to go through - to witness such an event. Even when I was an EMT on the ambulance, there were calls that after my shift was over, I'd try to get drunk and forget (never worked though - too much adrenaline)
Please take good care of yourself Queenie. I'm so glad Lisa is there. My email is open if you need to talk.
.... I mean it you stubborn sweetheart - take care of yourself, and allow Lisa to help you out ;)
lotsa love, Mimilly

Queenie,
If you find you can't sleep at night, or are having flash-backs of the accident, or feeling overly anxious about what you saw.....
PLEASE SEE A DOCTOR
You may suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress - it's a very natural reaction to a horrible event. It might even take a few days before you start getting the symptoms.
I hope the lady recovers from her accident, and I also hope you and Lisa take good care of yourselves too.
hugs

I have POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER, and it is a horrible thing to have to live with. It doesn't only effect you, but your entire family. It would be wise to go to your DR. and let him know about your situation. He then can keep you under observation. Should you have PTST, you can get the correct help that you need. There is some great info on PTSD, just type it in on your computer and you'll find out quite a bit.
Sorry you are having to go through this. Thinking of you all.
