Nightmare

I'm still in a state of shock, though I think it's beginning to wear off since now the tears are flowing. I woke up this morning to a message on my phone and one of DH's from a friend saying there was an emergency with someone from church and to call her as soon as I could. It was 7am and she called at 6. I found out that a friend's husband was in a car accident and her son (13). The husband was dead at the scene and the boy was taken to the hospital with a broken leg. It's just so sad because they also have 2 little girls (10 and 6). I just can't imagine.

I kept thinking all day what I could do and finally just prayed for them and inspiration on what to do. I made a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my yard and some roses I picked up from the store, two freezer meals, and some basic groceries. That's all that came to me to do. I want to go and put my arms around her but she's overwhelmed with so many visitors and is still trying to process everything so I sent everything over with another friend. I think I will try to visit her in a week or later once everyone has left and she's really alone. I just can't imagine having my husband taken from me so suddenly. It's DH's worst nightmare. He actually dreams about me being killed once a month if not more often. I find that unsettling personally.

I'm friends with her but not close friends. She and two other friends were having a girls night and I shared all my frustrations with not being about to get PG and we all cried and talked together. Funny thing--I was PG at the time and didn't know it. That was with DD since it took us 15 months to finally conceive her.
