I'd never get over it, there's no putting it aside, and life would never be the same. But as with any tragedy, one must learn to live with the pain and move forward.
I suspect this is what Venus Williams is doing, using every ounce of the strength and focus she gained from rising to become a tennis champion.
I couldn't do it. Of course I am not a champion tennis player nor am I a champion anything else. It would undo me. For how long and how badly I don't know but I'd never be the same. Thank you for your thoughtful and helpful answer m'dear and Happy Tuesday! :)
That's something I don't think I'd ever get over, even if it was an accident. I still feel bad about accidentally killing a little baby bird as a child, but killing a person would probably send me off the deep end..
It would haunt you forever, I am sure. But if you did not cause it, how can you think about forgiveness? You did nothing to forgive. But, I know what you mean. I pray it never happens to either one of us. Or anyone for that matter.
