I'm feeling very helpless and almost hopeless.
My S/O and I have conflicting schedules (he works day shift...I work 2 jobs and 1 is on night shift), which sometimes make it hard for us to communicate as much as we'd like. This past weekend was one of those times. Monday morning we both worked and in the afternoon I had several errands to run. Afterward, I went home and took a nap before work. Well as I was leaving for work I found out (via text from him!) that he was in a motorcycle accident. He said he was OK, but bruised/banged up a bit!
I was upset and just felt helpless as there was NOTHING I could do from here except pray and talk over the phone. That just doesn't seem to be enough. I can't keep my eyes dry and I'm worried. He is OK and went to work. I wish he hadn't. I just feel horrible. I mailed a card, but really I think and feel there's much more I should be doing, but what that is I really don't know. My heart is heavy and I feel guilty for not being there. I haven't really shared this with anyone as I already know that they won't understand.
Something like this has never happened. I always worry about him on that motorcycle and of course he always says he will be fine. I know it could have been worse, but it's just scary. I'm glad and thankful that he's okay.
What do you do when your S/O is sick or something really bad happens and you just can't be there???
