i was having a really bad morning. boss in a bad mood, demanding things left and right (she's normally very pleasant and fun to work for/with, but every 4 weeks, she becomes this scary dragon lady...you get my drift?). then, i found out 2 of my coworkers got into a horrible car accident early that morning, around 3am, and suddenly my "problems" seemed so trivial. the driver is in critical condition, and may never walk again. the passenger, doa. i was so overcome with sadness, especially knowing the driver, who started working the same time as me and was in the same orientation class. the passenger, i later found out, was the boyfriend of another coworker whom i've gotten to know pretty well. when she found out later that morning, they had to take her to the hospital because she had become too hysterical with grief. i can't even imagine what she's going thru...it makes my heart hurt just thinking about it. i don't want to think about it...the thought of losing someone you love so much. i felt like i was fighting back tears all day, thinking of what she must be gong thru. i think that's why it's called heartache, cuz the grief is so huge that your heart physically hurts.
