Exactly. There is no way I could go on after that.

Stay close but don't over do it. Small things at this point really help. And always answer your phone from the mom or so

Death really isn't that bad to me any longer....if it is untimely then it sucks, but if they lived a solid life it isn't all that bad

Not to mention the pregnant Aunt who was driving also died! Its sickening to think about!



The grandfather was driving...he's in critical condition in the ICU. Grandmother and aunt and the kids all died in the accident.

My heart just breaks at this...I don't think I could go on.

My great aunt lost her two oldest at 16 and 18 and she never was the same, nor was their younger brother.

hug the wife/mom/father and reflect on your own mortality a bit ... take some food so they don't have to think about it ...

nothing else you can do ...

Oh jeeze....I thought she was driving for some reason. If that grandfather hears what happens I don't see how he could make it. That is the worst thing I have heard in a long time and makes any problems I have seem like NOTHING!

Do you have a lot of pictures with him? Maybe print those out and give to his parents. Obviously not the ones of yall wasted or anything like that in the pics. But I'm sure they would love any pictures of him, esp the side of him they didn't see(his life with his friends).

Offer for you and a few friends to guard their house during the wake and funeral.

I know this sounds perverse, but criminals scan the obituaries when they are looking to burglarize homes. They know no one will be home during this time.

No one at fault though. Tire blew and he wasn't able to keep control of the vehicle. Just so very tragic and sad. I have been thinking about it all day. My heart just breaks for my coworker. She is an amazing nurse and an awesome person. She is the person that will go out of her way to help anyone. Worked full time and took care of her 4 kids while getting her masters(she just graduated this month).

If his parents are alive,(I am assuming you are male) take care of the father. The moms and wives get the attention, but the dads are grieving too.
The dads have lost a son be there for them.

When did they purchase the tires? Was the tire patched recently?
