I took my daughter to the ER today because she was having a bad reaction to an immunization shot, fever, swelling, and severe crankiness. While there, we already had to wait a while in the waiting room because the ER rooms were full. I felt bad for everyone there because they had to listen to my daughters screams. By the time we got into a room, got her vitals and history, we were suddenly rushed back out into the waiting room because a severe truma was coming in and they needed the room we were in. As we were going out, I suddenly hear a woman scream "Where's Calvin?! Where's my son, why won't you tell me?!" Turns out, her son had just been killed in a car accident. I looked down at my baby who will survive through this little fever and thought how lucky I was that it wasn't me screaming for her. Then I felt bad for that thought. I had to hold back tears for that mother, and couldn't imagine what she was feeling. I felt so bad that I have what she lost and wouldn't wish that on anyone

I can only pray for that family to hold on to his memory. But is it wrong for me to feel this way?

Yes I often feel like you do. But that must have been horribly upsetting for you to witness, though I guess those sort of things happening in the world, when it's on the news or happening around us are what make us appreciate what we have.

Just pray to God to help her and her family get through this horrible loss. I will pray for them also.

No a perfectly normal reaction and I think it makes us appreciate our loved ones more.

No. You're just a caring person with a big heart.
