what will you do if your partner died in a car accident or any instant moment? what if the last minute you were just saying your 'i love you's' and the next call you get is telling you that your partner passed away???
my boyfriend just got out of a car accident today.. i'm sooo glad he's ok.. i was feeling miserable the whole week cause i was sick and he was in the hospital fighting the pain of his cuts and bruises.. i was really worried and i was thinking that life is just so short.. you don't know what's going to happen next.. i was thinking about crazy things like, 'what if he didn't survive? what will i do?' me, maybe i'll go crazy.. not literally, but i know it'll take time for me to move on with life.. it will just be so traumatic to me that i can't speak for the first two weeks or so.. how about you? what will you do if something like this happens to you???

Yes I have been down that road, my very special friend gave me the best 18months of my life then one morning he passed away, he had a massive heart attack and I regret every day of life that I didn't do and say things, I never hold back any more, I do want I want and say what I want because as my motto is now...Tomorrow may never come.....for me tomorrow was too late, never hold back ....

that is why you should always say goodbye to your loved ones before they leave., and i love you is good too. I never let my family out of the door without those words everyday. never leave mad, or go to bed mad. If everyone treated this day as if they were never going to see one another again,,the world would be a nicer place!

hear hear or is it here here... anyway
I am the same way- I always let those I care about know exactly what they mean to me, and don't let the important things like 'I love you', 'you are important to me' etc go unsaid.

If that would happen it would be very unfortunate. It would probably take me forever to get over it. Especially dying in such an unfortunate event like that. God forbid it would ever happen to one or to anyone's loved ones.

Knock on wood. But I really don't want anything like this happen to me or to my partner. Life is really short and we have to make every moment of ourlives here to be great and wonderful. No time should be wasted. I don't even watch replayed shows on tv. I don't waste time sending text messages which are non-sense. I don't sleep too long and wake up late in the morning because I said I don't want spending half of my life sleeping. I hate heavy traffics because instead of spending those time with my loved ones at home I'm stills stuck on traffic. Well, I don't want having regrets on the die that I'll die and say "If I only knew what I know that then perhaps I've done those things instead of those others".

I have kinda been in this position before, I was at the hospital acutally, because I was having HORRIBLE stomach pains, and I walk in and he is sitting there! He got in a car accident and REALLY hurt his back. I was TERRIFIED!! I couldnt believe it. Thank god he was okay, but his back is still hurt to this day. Every morning before he leaves for work now, he kisses me and tells me he loves me. I dont know what I would have done if he wouldnt be here anymore =[ Thats a scary thing to think about.

well when i lost my best frien i acted psychotic and was in rage .i never used to know what i would do.i never used to speak to anyone.it took a lot of time for me to get back to normal.things can be so hard.only then you realise how short life is and that it can simply vanish in a flash.we need to live our life to the fullest since it is short and we may never know whats going to happen the very next second.

I don't want to respond to discussion which says I'm going to lose my partner.
I can't think of this incidence taking place in my life.
I'm sure that day will also be last day of my life.
I love my wife more than mylife and can't even imagine her losing even a teeth in any accident.

if the situation is similar to what happened to you, i'll worry also. I'll also think of different "what if's" in my head. that is just a normal reaction, especailly when your love the person involeved. I guess it is just a sign from God,to make us realize that life is short and we should never take for granted even a second of if.
for your real question. i hope it never happens to me, that would trully be devastating. losing a love one especially someone who you consider a partner/love is a lot painful because you have this connecetion that not all people have. I'll miss him every day, and it would eb pretty hard to believe in love again i guess. but eventually you'll move on, get on with your life and meet someone new. :)

i don't know.. i would be devastated..
it would be very hard for me.. it would take a very very very long time for me to get over something like that. i might even just be the next to go..
good to hear your boyfriend's all good now.. you take care too!
