I'm writing here because I know this is a good community of kind intellegent people, and I don't know what to do.
My boyfriend was walking home from work tonight, and a car hit two pedestrians crossing the street, a father and daughter.
He has lifegaurd training, and went over to them to help. The father died, very bloodily, in his arms. He witnessed death for the first time, and a sudden, tragic, pointless death... I'm overwhelmed by it. A family ruined... in a moment.
It's such a waste. Such an awful waste of a human lifetime, to end so suddenly and horribly.
We're both devestated. We're having trouble understanding it.
My boyfriend lives too far from me for me to be with him, and I'm not sure what to tell him. I think he's traumatized.
What's the best way to help him?
To explain it...
