Had another accident today. 4 kids died in a head on car accident. Ages 17,17,16, and 13. Cars collided at excessive speed. Both vehicles ended up quickly starting on fire. It is unknown if the kids died on impact or if they died trapped in the burning car. The car then exploded.
that oughta be tough on you, and i send you my sympathy
but for the sake of making my point ill give you this experience
i was in a denny's one night after junior prom like last year, and i was eating with a couple friends and as we walked outside we saw a fight, but one of the guys in the fight took out a knife and stabbed the other like 4 or 5 times and he died etc etc
so for like 3 months after that i kept thinking about it whenever i tried to sleep and do things, and one day i heard my friend sam (who was with me when it happened), make a joke to another guy who wanted to fight him, saying "alright bruh but no knives aloud"
that made me laugh and it actually made the whole situation and the dead guy into a lighter less heavy situation and i didnt have many thoughts about the incident
im not saying every incident of death is funny, but if you can laugh about something dark, it can be a therapeutic thing
also, since youre older than me and i believe you to have more experience/wisdom, i contend that i could be wrong but i think that coping is what you do if something stuffty happens and it makes your life more difficult. theres a reason the news always has those short happy segments of cats being saved out of trees, its because if they just showed you all of the negative awful stuff and said goodnight, people would loving kill themselves
