He will suffer for this probably for years to come. Hopefully he'll find ways to help others through his experience. I say this because twenty five years ago at age twenty two I was in a car accident in upstate New York with a very close friend at that time. Neither of us were wearing seatbelts. I survived, he didn't. To this day I pray (chant) for my friend and try to honor him. Grieving is first and processing will take time. I read the news on J.R.s accident and felt it was similar to my experience. I guess it pinched a nerve in me. I'm sure that J.R. has family and as a professional athlete has all the support he needs. But if he ever could use a contact outside his family or community who can appreciate and understand what he's been through, pass my e-mail address on to him.Encouraging someone with a similar experience is a way of honoring my friend. That's my M.O. nothing else. J.R. has my heartfelt empathy. He will suffer for this probably for years to come. Hopefully he’ll find ways to help others through his experience.
