A brief intro, I'm writing this in tears. I can't stay calm, I'm shaking. I don't know what to do.
Three years ago my aunt had a girl(Sage). Two years ago she had a son (Myles). She lives in Maine I live in Mass. Every two weeks me and my family go up to see her. Every two weeks they come down here to see us. Yesterday, it was my turn to see her. We were on the way when we got a call that my aunt was driving home from work and a tractor trailer jack knifed her. She's in the hospital. She has brain bleeding, stomach bleeding, and a broken c2 vertebrae. I was forced to stay home. My mom and Dad are in Maine. My grandma used to live with me and is now moving to Maine. I'm 16 years old and am crying watching a 14 year old who is supporting me. Nothing like this has ever happened before. I have to go to work tonight.

 let it out

Vent and we will console 
I think it's perfectly understandable if you skip work. Also emotional release is healthy, so don't be ashamed if you feel overwhelmed.

If I were you, I wouldn't go to work. Spend the night reading comics or something and just go to sleep early. I hope everything turns out well for you and your family.

Call work. "My aunt was just in a bad accident. Sorry but I can't come in tonight."

Yep, if you are emotionally shaken it is better for both sides if you stay at home.

This is probably a good idea, but at the same time, you want to stay busy to keep your mind off things. Find something useful to do so you don't just sit around and worry.

Do this, take it easy for a day or two then when you are a bit more calmed down you can try to work again. Working will probably help you keep your mind off the accident, if it doesn't then don't work until things settle.
I hope your aunt will be fine, take care :/

Damm, I don't really know what we can do apart from console you in any way we can, and let you know that it may not seem like it but you've got support from lots of places, up and down
Is there any homework or something that would be an extra stress we could take off your back? Cheat for SAT's for you? Let us know
|
Take some personal time dude. Spend some time with your loved ones. Thats more important than work will ever be.
|
Shoot bro...that is horrible. I hope you'll stay strong throughout this ordeal
Just now at the end of this, you'll end up a stronger person.

That is horrible, call out of work and take some time off, keep yourself busy! i hope she recovers mate.

Call out of work, damn.
Horrible that that has happened to your aunt--I hope that she can come out of the hospital soon.
Hopefully the situation is not aggravated further.
You should really stay home and let it all out until you're cool n composed--try just chilling and watching a movie or smth and don't over think the situation (what could happen, why you love your aunt, w/e, thinking that much about it just makes it worse for yourself and maybe the people around you).
|
yeah, you should definitely call off work. Best of luck to you and your family
|
Don't know what to do apart to pray for a miracle for your aunt it sounds bad but maybe all hope isn't lost, i don't know.
Also no shame in tears even if your the oldest. Some people are strong on the outside until they can't take it anymore and crumble all at once. And some people cry often but keep going after that.
|
Hope things turn out okay, best of luck. Not much TL can do for you but we're definitely here if you need to talk. Venting is good.
|
Hope everyone in the accident recovers. Car accidents are horrible.
