My brother was killed in a scooter accident by an elderly woman when he attempted to make a left hand turn. The scooter he road was mine that he borrowed. This story resonates with me, as I know the burden of guilt that a person can carry, that if not reconciled, can and will bury a person in misery. The capacity of forgiveness and empathy the parents were able to extend to this person is magnanimous. It is a true form of love and grace towards another. It is remarkable and something we should all aspire to.
My dad was killed in a heavy machinery accident while at work. The coworker that was operating the back hoe was not at fault but he was absolutely devastated. It broke my heart when he came to speak with us the day of the accident. He couldn’t even look us in the eyes. He ended up being hospitalized. He did not attend my father’s funeral, I guess he just didn’t have it in him but he would visit me from time to time at work. We did not blame him, and we made sure to tell him that. I’m not sure what good that did him though. My sister went to school with his daughter and she said he suffers night terrors. I hope he’s doing better, I can’t imagine.
