The young man twitched in the street before he died and there was blood coming out of his nose in large amount. My brother saw the whole thing and saw the man die. There was also a young lady who was critically injured and she might not make it.
What advice can I give my brother? This would haunt anybody forever but my brother is especially sensitive to death and auto accidents. He threw up when he got to work and he told me all about it when I got home. I drove him past the scene and we listened to the news report together. I told him how sorry I was that he had to witness something so awful but now I am at a loss as to what else to do? How does one get past this and not let it ruin his week, month, year and or life? He drives a semi truck for a living.

Ive seen something similar in the uk. basically as cold as it sounds you have to just get on with life and not let it affect you. The older you get the more sh*tty things you see, you just have to learn to cope.

Sometimes these things are going to happen and all you can do is seek counseling to get yourself through the trauma. I agree with the above comments.
My husband walked in to work a few years ago to witness a co-worker who had just committed suicide with a gun. The guy was very obviously gone. My husband was understandably shook up for days, but everyone involved was given counseling at his military workplace.

Well all you can do is be there. And he is lucky to have someone there for him. I am sure your frustrated wit what to say but that is not as important as being there, listening and letting your brother talk it out with you. Tell him I would give him a hug myself if I was there. I will be praying for you.

There is really nothing you can do or say except to be there for him and listen. It will be comforting enough .It is natural that something like that would be so traumatic -especially for someone not trained in rescue & so on .He will eventually be able to deal with it .

It shouldn't bother him for the rest of his life unless he was involved or if he new the people. It is a terrible thing but it shouldn't stop him from doing anything. I suggest you book him into a few counsiling sessions to help him overcome the ordeal.
