She accidentally took a life in a car crash. Mostly I notice that she appears to be “undeserving” of happiness or enjoying a good laugh—-almost as if she is supposed to suffer through her life. The accident occured 5 or 6 years ago so I know that it will be a long process to heal. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! ]]> https://accidentalimpacts.org/recommended-reading/#comment-39646 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 01:38:34 +0000 http://accidentalimpacts.org/?page_id=24#comment-39646 Hi, I am a psychologist and I have a new patient who killed two people., Accidentally.

The author is in no way responsible–she was a girl at the time and not distracting her father–but feels some responsibility because her friend was in the car [and the car on the road at all] because they were all attending a performing arts practice by the young author.
Both of these moving accounts [if not all their details] will remain with you for years after reading. ]]> https://accidentalimpacts.org/recommended-reading/#comment-38376 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 18:21:34 +0000 http://accidentalimpacts.org/?page_id=24#comment-38376 There needs to be more memoirs written. Are there more? Where can I find more writing about experiences with accidentally causing a death of a loved one? ]]> https://accidentalimpacts.org/recommended-reading/#comment-3234 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 18:45:12 +0000 http://accidentalimpacts.org/?page_id=24#comment-3234 Are you aware of any researched treatments for traumatic grief for the mentally ill who, at least in part due to their illness, have taken another’s life? ]]>
