Losing a child is one of the most devastating experiences a parent can go through. It shatters your world and leaves you with a deep wound that never fully heals. But what if you lose not one, but two children in horrific accidents? How do you cope with such unimaginable pain and grief?

This is the story of a mother who faced this nightmare twice in her life. Her first daughter, Denise, was 12 years old when she was struck by a car and killed in a school crosswalk by a woman who ran the red light. Her second daughter, Theresa, was 9 years old at the time and witnessed the whole scene. She asked her mother, “Do you wish I died instead of Denise?” She felt guilty for surviving and wondered if her mother loved her less than her sister.

The mother did everything she could to let Theresa know how loved she was. She told her she missed Denise terribly and was devastated by her death, but she would never in a million years want to lose her. She told her she was every bit as special to her. She told her she loved her forever and always to the moon and back. But Theresa still suffered for many years from PTSD and survivor’s guilt, despite the counseling and care she received. She lost her joy and innocence and grew up with a shadow over her heart.

The mother and Theresa enjoyed a close relationship as she grew up. They became friends as well as mother and daughter. Theresa moved to live near her mother a few years ago. But then, two years ago, tragedy struck again. Theresa was killed in an accident eerily similar to her sister’s. A crazy driver caused a head-on collision that took her life instantly.

The mother was left alone with her grief and memories. She wondered how she could go on living without her two precious daughters. She wondered why life was so cruel and unfair. She wondered if there was any meaning or purpose in her existence.

There are no easy answers or solutions for coping with such a loss. Every parent who goes through this has their own journey of healing and recovery. But there are some things that might help along the way:

• Seek professional help. Grief is a complex and overwhelming emotion that can affect your physical and mental health. You might experience depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, insomnia, or other symptoms that interfere with your daily functioning. A therapist or counselor can help you process your feelings, cope with your trauma, and find healthy ways to express your emotions.

• Join a support group. You are not alone in your pain. There are other parents who have experienced the same or similar losses and can understand what you are going through. A support group can provide you with a safe space to share your story, listen to others, offer and receive comfort and advice, and feel less isolated and lonely.

• Honor your children’s memory. Your children will always be a part of you and your life. You can honor them by keeping their photos, belongings, or mementos around you, by celebrating their birthdays or anniversaries, by visiting their graves or places they loved, by donating to causes they cared about, or by doing something they enjoyed or wanted to do.

• Find meaning in your life. Losing your children might make you question your faith, values, or beliefs. You might feel hopeless or helpless about the future. You might wonder what is the point of living if you have to suffer so much. But you can still find meaning and purpose in your life by reconnecting with your spirituality, by helping others who are in need, by pursuing your passions or hobbies, or by creating something new or beautiful.

• Take care of yourself. Grieving is exhausting and draining. It can take a toll on your body and mind. You need to take care of yourself by eating well, sleeping enough, exercising regularly, relaxing often, and avoiding alcohol or drugs that might worsen your mood or health.

• Be patient with yourself. Grieving is not a linear process that has a clear beginning or end. It is a lifelong journey that has ups and downs, twists and turns. You might experience different stages of grief at different times or in different orders. You might have good days and bad days, moments of peace and moments of despair. You might feel like you are making progress or like you are stuck in a rut. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. There is no set timeline or deadline for healing. You need to be patient with yourself and allow yourself to grieve at your own pace and in your own way.

Losing two children in horrific accidents is an unimaginable tragedy that no parent should ever have to face. But it is not the end of your story. You can still find hope and happiness in your life. You can still honor and cherish your children’s memory. You can still survive and thrive. You are not alone. You are not forgotten. You are loved.
