Sitting by hospital bed of relative due to car crash

[ivykaty44]

Come and share your experience of sitting by a hospital bed after car crash that left your relative incapacitated

Erm..why?

No.

Well my own experience was earful and wondered if others wanted to share

What a strange post

really?!

Why don't you post your experience in chat if you need to talk it out

If you want to share, share. Then others might.

ivy you might get better responses if you say what actually happened to you.

Why is it a strange post? Why would I want ‘better’ response

It’s nit great sat by a hospital bed for days on end with a loved one who’s been injured by a motorist

Wondered if others have been through this?

Why is that strange?

Well because...no one owes you a story. Normally, you share yours. Then if people are so inclined, they may share theirs.

It is your approach to the thread that is strange. You have been on MN long enough to realise this surely?

Your OP sounds like a Daily Heil media request

It sounds as though you’re writing a novel and you want people to tell you about .their experiences.

Yeah right if you think I’m a troll then report the post.... 😂

OP has been around for years, I think. Not a troll

I didn't know we had a cars topic.

Neither did I bananlanawake

Its the way youve phased it, you say you want to know if any one else has gone through this, well youd get people naturally sharing if you wrote

So i'm sitting by the side of a hospital bed, my relative was injured in a car accident. I'm feeling awlful aa there's nothing more i can do.

The responses you'd get then would be - oh hand hold hope your ok what happened?
And then following your answer to what happened you'd get the stories.

You've not shared any of your own experience so why should any one share with you? No ones going to say yes i know what that feels like cos we don't know if the experence is similar or not.

At best your Op looks like a request to fill a newspaper article.

You do want better responses than your a troll, or no i presume you want some one to sympathise and comfort you by sharing their experience.

I'm sorry about your relative's accident Ivykaty. I hope they are recovering.

Bizarrely aggressive responses I think. Blimey.

Bizarrely aggressive responses I think. Blimey*

In response to a bizarrely demanding OP

Erm........I watched as a relative took their last breath after being in a car crash.

Is that the sort of thing you were after?

But one which references a difficult time she has had. There's always the option of not responding at al...

OP has been around for years, and always been sane and sensible. If her post was a bit brusque/lacking in details I imagine she may well be in shock/traumatised by what's happened to her relative.

I've not been in your exact position OP, but it can be stressful and at times a distressing experience being by the bedside of a seriously ill person.
