We'll all pull for yours and your wife's rapid recovery and please keep us in touch with how things are going with you.

Best wishes from across the pond.

What horrible news. I'm so very glad that you and your wife are on the road to recovery. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Wax is right about artificial hips. If it must be done you can be thankful that the technology is truly amazing these days.

Whart is right about seeking some therapy. Wether you feel you need it or not it is often more beneficial than you might think.

As a cop I saw a lot of this **** too. I am more the glad to hear you are both going to be ok... (Well, more or less ok.) I would not concirn myself for the other guy and I for one am glad he died rather than killing you!!!! too many times I have seen it go the other way.


Good luck to you my brother!!!

 

I know it is probably the toughest thing in the world to do, but try as much as you can to avoid your mind being clouded by what ifs and buts. Concentrate on your wife and your family. Your wife needs you right now and your family needs you to recooperate too. It was in know way your fault. You have to stay strong and get as much as physical and mental rest as you can to recooperate and to help your wife get through this. Stay away from clouding your mind with questions and avoid getting down.

Right now everyone has loads of advice but only you know what you are going through. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. My father once told me "Adversity does not build character, it reveals it". Stay strong.

 

best wishes to you and your wife. drunk drivers have taken several folks that were close to me. i wish the both of you a speedy recovery, please keep us posted on how the two of you are doing.
best wishes, michael.

 

Thanks for taking the time to share this tragic news with us. Maybe part of the "Why's" are so that in some way you can be the messenger of this terrible mistake so that others will think before repeating it and also to remind us of how precious life really is. Gracie! Get well soon.

 

Had a feeling this would come up, but didn't wish to broach the subject just yet.

Replace "Why?" with "Why not me?"

By this, I mean a lesser mortal would not be able to handle this as well as you.

 

Sorry to hear about the accident; all the best wishes for a speedy recovery!

 

Stephen, I pray for both you and your wife's complete recovery, as well as the family of the driver. A single mistake can take so much.

Hi Stephen,
it's a tough call about whether you should visit the family of the other driver.I would suggest you ask the police to ask the family if they wish to see you first. If they agree and it helps you got over this tragedy, then do it.
In the meantime, my continued best wishes to you .
Regards.

 

Stephen and Collette - thank goodness you are both alive and there for each other! Now more than ever you will need to be good communicators and listeners for each other as you mend physically and mentally. Have a speedy recovery!

As far as seeing the other family goes, I don't know that I'd recommend it just yet. The widow is going through her grief stages and even though I'm sure she knows her late husband was 3x the legal limit and sealed his own fate, there may still be a lot of mis-directed anger right about now. Having a grief-stricken widow lash out at you is probably not something that you would be prepared to handle at this time. It might be a therapeutic thing to do in the future, but my sense is that the situation is still raw. just my .02

Good luck and God bless you.

don't drink and drive, fellas - not even a little

 

You could maybe send a note of condolence that might open the door for communicating in future at her desired time(I'm not sure that you haven't already). That would be really "big" on your part considering him being 3X.

Many victims would be harboring a lot of anger. That shows a lot of character on your part

 

Stephen,

I have never been in a situation like yours. So, I'm not speaking from experience. I do think your thoughts of meeting with his family has merit. Looking at it from their perspective, I would suspect they have feelings of guilt about putting you and your wife through this. Just knowing that you don't hold them responsible and your accepting would probably help in their healing process. I do agree with some other posters that it might have to wait for a period of time. Also, there might be some grief counselors at the hospital that could give you their opinion. They have a great deal of experience dealing with these issues.

I'm so happy you guys are improving & congrats in advance for the Fcar purchase!

 

Stephen,

Glad to hear that you are alive. Terribly sad to hear about the accident. May your wife benefit a speedy recovery (hoping for pins).

I too would have reservations about meeting the other family for some time.
