What would do you do to stay focused after losing a family member in a tragic accident?

Wow.Do anything you can to stay busy. Activity is your friend. Speaking of friends - lean on them.

Social activity and support is probably the greatest contributing factor to getting through the period immediately after a loss. Resist the temptation to withdraw, and seek social contact. Ask friends to check up with you regularly - this is not a time to be shy.

Lastly, I'd pray, but that's a highly personal thing and I'm only offering it because you asked what *I'd* do. I would pray. CarpeNoctem 60 months ago.

Sorry to hear that Squeeky - my thoughts go out to you. Too bad it couldn't have the elf in the plane. All I can say is, I know its a rough time - just hang in there and you know your friends on here are thinking about you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
