An Accident No One Talked About
Few years ago I witnessed a traffic accident in which a 16yo boy riding a motorcycle died. 
I was the first to get to him trying to assess his condition and help. Those were his last moments. There was a lot of blood and I was helpless. I did my best but witnessed him dying anyway. 
I was 32 years old. I never knew this boy. Nevertheless this was a life changing experience.
I'll never forget this neither will I forget having face his poor parents who wanted to hear about their son's final moments from the man who was there. 
This experience will never stop haunting me. 
I can easily imagine how devastating it can be for someone who's lost their friend. Especially when you're a kid. 
If someone from your family experienced this, please don't go the "let's not bring this up" way. 
That doesn't help.
