I have hesitated to post this since it is so personal. On Friday, I found out that a woman (34) and her daughter (8) that I know from our town were killed in a horrific accident. I used to do daycare for her niece and 2 cousins several years ago. She was driving back from a field trip with her dd and for unknown reasons went though the center of the 4 lane highway (which is grass) and into oncoming traffic. She hit one vehicle (I'm assuming side swiping them as it didn't cause serious injury to the driver) before striking a crew cab truck pulling a flat bed trailer head on. 
I don't know if her dd was in the front seat or not, but I do know seat belts were used for all involved. She was driving a Honda Element. The driver of the truck (which was also demolished) is in serious condition. Mom and dd died on the scene.
Today, as I was taking a walk, a tow truck went passed me...and had her car on the back. Seeing the pictures of the accident was bad enough, but seeing her car go down my road today was just too much. It was far worse then I could have ever imagined. I have done nothing but think about them since the accident. I have cried so many times. She leaves behind a 14yr old son. And her DH was serving over seas at the time of the accident. He found out when he called home to talk to her. I can't imagine what the family is going through. I want so badly to take away their pain, but I know that only time will begin to ease their suffering.
Even though I wasn't close to her, I was close to several of her family members. I am hoping to attend the funeral and show my respects. But I feel like that is so little. I want to do more. I need to do more. How do I get beyond my own grief and help this family??
