Cars Create Sadness

I know that cars are fast, easy access to get places, but sometimes I think that they shouldn't have been invented. I was just downstairs in the emergency room working a shift for a friend, and all of a sudden we were swarmed by ambulances. There had been a 4 car pile up on the highway. Out of a total 14 people, 9 died...3 are critical...and 2 have minor injuries. Apparently car A was going 90 MPH, and tried to stop when car B was stopped by traffic ahead. Car A hit car B from behind and was sent over the railing into oncoming traffic. Car C and car D were headed in the opposite direction when car B was sent over the railing. Car D was a minivan carrying 2 parents and 2 children. I understand that when you drive there is a risk, but when you're driving 90MPH? There's no excuse for that. I think the ambulance went slower than that driving them to the hospital! I just don't get why someone was going to be stupid and drive that fast. There was no reason to drive 90 MPH. Police think that either road rage or alcohol was a factor, but really, I think it was stupidity. Stupidity of road rage, stupidity of drinking and driving, the stupidity of speeding, and the stupidity of not paying attention.
I want people to understand that I have the hard job of telling people that mommy isn't coming home because someone was being stupid on the highway. I don't want to tell your spouse/partner/child to not expect you home. When I meet people in the emergency room, it's usually the worst day of their lives. It takes a strong soul to come back from a devastating blow like that, but it all could have been prevented by one person choosing to keep his eyes open and to obey the speed limit.
Be careful when driving on highways and please....don't speed.

I know what it feels like to lose a child. on April 13th 2008. I lost my 16 year old son to a ATV (4 wheeler) accident. this has been a nightmare. i have been having such a hard time dealing with this. he lived 3 hours, he died in surgey. it damaged his liver and spline. i still cant belive my son is dead. it feels like a dream. really i dont know what i am going to do without Michael . he was my life . we were with each other 24/7. i miss him dearly. he died on an early birthday party for me and buried on my real birthday. he also has a birthday comming up aug 6th. any advise ?
I'm very sorry.
Loosing a child feels like someone rips out a part of you, and no matter what you do, that hole can never be refilled. I find children the worst to tell a parent that they have died. It's horrible. I always say "What can I say? Timmy lived a wonderful 6 years?" It's unfair. It has to be one of the most difficult things someone ever has to do.
When I lost a friend in high school to a car crash, my mother gave me this wonderful book. It's about a woman who can communicate with the dead. The show Medium is based on her. The book really helped me, and I think it will help you too. It's called "We Are Their Heaven: Why The Dead Never Leave Us" by Allison DuBois. You can get it at Borders or Amazon.com.
My advice is simple: Go talk to him. I talk to my friend, Alyssa, all the time. I go to her grave and I just talk to her about things that are going on in my life or anything I need to let loose of.
Your son will always be with you, no matter what. He wouldn't want you to be sad all the time, it can ruin you. Instead of mourning his death, celebrate his life.

Curley, you forget that we live in a very cureless, pardon careless world!:)
By the way my brother have been 3 days in coma and so we know very much life after death and it's a pity people ignore the other world!

Yup. Life is short.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
