They were coming back home after my parent's store closed for the day. The car they were in turned left across traffic. It was a standard and stalled. They were hit by a semi. My Dad and grandmother were behind them and saw the wreck. The ambulance crew couldn't get my brother out. His foot was wedged. My dad laid across him and kicked the side of the car out to free him. My aunt was d.o.a. and my brother died a few hours later.
I think that's all for now.
How do we ever come to terms with a loss like that? I was doing okay with the old version, not too good with the newer one.
Ty for asking.
