Subject: Hey everyone, lost my brother

Hi there. I lost my brother last july in a car accident. That might seem bad enough but what's worse is that my friend and I were in the car too, with him driving. It was so horrible, seeing him unconscious and hanging out of the car window. I don't think I'll be forgetting it for a while, because I also got injured in the accident and now have a permanent scar on my forehead to remind me of that day. I'm an atheist too, so the whole 'He's in a better place' thing doesn't work for me. I'm trying to work on the Humanist principle that we should remember them for how they lived, not how they died or where they are now. Thanks for listening =)

Chaz.

Hiya Charlie..i know what its like to see that...as i was going to meet my girlfriend for lunch, as she cross the road, on a green man, she was hit right infront of my eyes. Its the sort of thing after 2 years of it happening i will never ever forget, In fact if it been a bad day, it comes back to me in dreams its soo horrible. that year was a pretty rubbish year as i lost me aunt afterwood (2 weeks) to a tuma she had been fighting...that was the all time low of my life :(

Chaz, my twin brother died some years ago, he was knocked down by a drink driver, and I was crossing the road with him at the time, I remember seeing him lifeless in the middle of the road bent at an akward angle. That isn't going to leave me in a hurry. It is so damned hard o remember the good times when you've seen something like that I find. I'm similarly non religous, though I've had friends try to work on me.......But yeah at least I know where you're coming from. It's so hard to think of life ending so senselessly. So much goes in to making a person, and to see in end in a moment,well I'm not sure I can describe how it makes me feel. I guess I think that while Nick may not be alive, I can make so sure that his memory lives on, through me, his friends and the times we spent together.
Chaz I'm thinking of you.
