Hi everyone,
My husband died on March 7, 2016 in a car accident. I was in the car along with our almost one year old daughter, luckily our other daughter who is 3 was not with us. The car that hit us was likely speeding ,and this is all under investigation, and it hit directly where my husband was sitting. He only lived 30 minutes and wasn't conscience. I was pretty badly injured with spinal, pelvic, and rib fractures. I, myself have no memory of what happened...none at all, which I am thankful for. We are young people at only 29, and I am deeply affected and saddened. I can't say the days get easier because they don't. Everyday is new challenges and knew thoughts. I stare at his picture and just think you had no idea this was coming. We were so happy and our marriage was actually going well. We had issues but we worked through them every step of the way. I just miss him every minute. Even at work.. we were management for the same company but different locations so sometimes I would get guidance from him. Everything we did was together. I'm grateful for the time we had. I really am, but I wanted more and I know he wanted more from his life. Now leading into my question. My sister wants me to get counseling about what happened. However, I don't think I need it yet. She believes that I replay the what ifs to much, and go over and over about what could have gone differently that night. I think it's normal to do this, especially considering how long the investigation will take for me to have some facts and somewhat of a closure. So should I force myself to counseling or wait until I think I need it?
Thank you to those who read and respond. I appreciate it.
