my husband was in an accident a couple of years ago . a van pulled out in front of him . a woman we knew was in it and she passed away . oh , well that 's terrible ! hopefully , your husband was okay and nobody else was hurt . but , it 's awful that anyone was . it was so sad . she was such a sweet lady . my husband had some minor injuries , but is better now . the emotional pain was the worst thing . yes , there are many times the emotional pain from tragic events are worse than physical . it does n't make it easier that it was a person you knew , i 'm sure .
The tragic accident that resulted in the loss of a woman's life caused the feeling of devastation.
