What to Do When Tragedy Impacts Your Family
When I was 14 years old, a small airplane crashed across the street from where I lived. I called 911 then ran to the plane and helped two 20-somethings out of the burning wreckage. I thought they were the only two in the plane at first. I soon realized that their fathers had also been aboard. They were dead. I also experienced tragedy in my personal life. My mother died of cancer when I was nine.
