Quote From: nanook582My son was also killed in an automobile accident, by his girlfriend. I can honestly say I know how both sides feel. I choose to forgive the driver and not live with the bitterness that could devour my life. What I can not get past is how to live an everyday life now. The pain and empty heart has taken my life over. Does anyone have any suggestions.. I can not sleep a full night, I have lost my career, and isolated myself from people so I don't have to talk about it in public. It was an accident that took national attention. I feel so empty inside, my heart just can not feel...some call it " The broken heart syndrome"

Sorry to hear that your son was killed! May I ask how long ago? I know your pain is more than you can bear at times. Allow yourself to feel, and know that what your going through is normal. Take comfort that your son is in God's arms now. If your saying that he didn't believe.... I believe that everyone is given one last chance to take Jesus' hand. Time will take care of your broken heart. "I feel so empty inside, my heart just can not feel..." The emptyness that you feel is normal as well. Your heart isn't feeling anything possibly because you are too scared to feel and open up as you fear losing again. It sounds as though you have taken a very important step, forgivness is good, if you chose to forgive for yourself. "What I can not get past is how to live an everyday life now. The pain and empty heart has taken my life over. Does anyone have any suggestions.. " Try living moment to moment. Who says you need to take on the whole day at once?! All in my humble opinion of course :) Have you thought about talking with someone professional regarding this?
Take care, and I know your going to be fine ;)
