Quote of the day #48  
“Guilt is anger directed at ourselves - at what we did or did not do. Resentment is anger directed at others - at what they did or did not do.”
- Peter McWilliams


Three days... they were sitting at three days now without any improvement in Emilio's condition whatsoever. All they could do was just wait, and Des had never been good at waiting. Flynn had been absolutely amazing, keeping Des company and being there for her when she needed him most, and that opened up a whole different level of emotions for her, but whatever the case, she was glad that he was here with her. She needed him more than she could explain, and he just stayed right there.

But on the third day, sitting in the waiting room of the hospital, Des was finishing off a lukewarm cup of coffee that Flynn had grabbed for her... )

It's been around 62 hours since Flynn showed up at the rehab place and told me Emilio had been in a terrible car crash. I didn't handle it well, but who would? It's all a bit of a blur now, and it has been a lot of sitting in hospital waiting rooms on news, and knowing I'm not family, so I'm not allowed in to see him. He's in that bad of a condition. "Critical but stable" was the last update. I can't see him, but I'm still waiting anyway. It was hearing why the accident even happened that made it really feel like my world was crumbling underneath me... again.

One tool they encouraged in rehab was to write things down. The whole congested thoughts taking wrong turns in your mind and make it like rush hour traffic. Remove some of the congestion, though, then the lanes run more smoothly. They liked their analogies in there, and I'm glad they did, because a lot of the time, pitting my own experience to psychological theory was damn near impossible and especially when you were doubting the effectiveness of the assistance already.

It was a driver under the influence of drugs and alcohol that caused Emilio's crash... )
