(((((((((Angela)))))))))) First, I'm glad your mom is ok. Second, you are NOT being dramatic. Your feelings are real and justified.

All these car accidents with Jon and your family can certainly be traumatic. Always wondering when it's going to happen next, and with whom. It can scare anyone from either driving or being in a car.

Not seeing Jon after his death left you with no closer, and that is *probably* one of the reasons (aside from the suddeness) why you have nightmares. There was no 'closure'. To make things worse, all these other car accidents occured so closely together - time-wise.

Not being able to 'control' anything about the accidents can make a person feel helpless.

How 's your family? Are they ok?

I know from my own experience how car accidents can traumatize people. The after-effects are also traumatic - dealing with injuries, insurance, the fear of being in another accident, driving, etc.

Give yourself time - that helped a lot (for me). I'm here if you want to talk. Take care.
