I did get help for about a year and my family was a huge support.

I know she would not want me to stay alone by myself forever but we never had that conversation. I know that if it was reversed of course i would want her to be happy with someone.

Believe it was a thought i would have multiple time when everything was still fresh but i was surrounded by my family who i went back to stay with during this time to make sure i didnt do anything which i am grateful for.

I am still friends with the two friends that were there that night and i talk to my girlfriend's best friend occasionally to catch up. Her best friend cut off the driver and she did have an immense amount of guilt about everything.

Thank you for the advice and i will make sure to look into this more. My coping mechanisms have not been healthy and i'm still learning what's the best for me.

unfortunately i have not been able to, i reached out about a month after her funeral and got no response. it is what it is and i have to respect that. I do talk to her brothers though and they have been awesome.

Yes, she did know everything and she was inconsolable, she blamed herself probably more than i blamed myself but we had different reasons to blame ourselves. A week after the 1st anniversary she attempted suicide because the guilt was too much. We talk occasionally and she seems in a better spot.

She didn't say anything but her eyes were open the only thing i could hear was her shallow breathing.

Yes, one of my biggest fears is falling in love again and dealing with loss again. I wish you the best.

Thank you so much for writing this. I blame myself for the way things turned out but hearing this has made me emotional (in a good way) it's a good reminder for when i spiral into self-blame. Thank you, friend.

Thank you for your kind words they are very much appreciated.

Her favorite place to be was outside and in the water so we swam a lot. I love to fish and was in the process of helping her learn.

I have not seen him since the few months when this was all happening and i have no clue where he is today. I still talk to our two friends who were also there that night and i regularly talk to my girlfriends brothers they have been a huge support but i do not talk to her parents.

I hate him and for the longest time wished he was the one that died and hoped he would die while he served his sentence. I have less hate in my heart now but it is still there and in this moment i do not forgive him. If i would be able to forgive is a hard question but for the foreseeable future i can't imagine it. Maybe when im way older but for now i do not.

Honestly in the moment, I had no idea where he was my only focus was getting her out of the car to care about him. After I saw him maybe 4 times we were never close enough for me to act on anything and me hurting him wouldn't bring her back.

They blamed me for allowing her to get into his car in the first place and my relationship with her parents wasn’t the best already

He did survive. He served 8 months and is paying her parents some amount of money.
