My Mother passed away at age 54. I’ll never forget what my 81 year old Grandfather said when she died. He said he had lost his parents, his wife, siblings and friends. But none of those hurt him nearly as bad as loosing his daughter, my Mom.

When my husband was leaving for work, I ran to the door and I wanted to call out, “I love you!” one more time, but I didn’t because it was 4am… and if I would have just done it, just said I love you one more time… he woulda turned around and said “I love you too” and then that night he would have come home with a story about how he ALMOST got killed by a drunk driver. So yeah. You never know. So say I love you again. Just say it.

@@therealpetergeo Peter if this is you I'm praying for you brother! Your son is with God, and I don't just mean that in some cosmic sense. The moment his life ended he was face to face with the Lord of all creation experiencing unspeakable joy, peace, and love beyond what our brains can even comprehend. Not only is your son alright, he's in a state of peace we can't even wrap out heads around. God doesn't just love us he IS love. My prayer for you is that you can find peace in Jesus and the knowledge that, one day soon, all who put their trust in Christ will be together in eternity. Not a church, not a religion, but the person of Jesus Christ. On that day this life, with all its pain, will seem like a distant memory. Please read the first section of Revelation 21. The bible doesn't teach reincarnation per se but like you said it does teach that there will be a new creation and all will be made new, including us. I love you brother and I can't wait to meet you and your son when we get there. Trust in Jesus to get you through this!

The coma dreams he’s talking about are not the same as regular dreams and almost impossible to describe to someone that hasn’t experienced them. I have a TBI from a car wreck that killed a friend of mine. Every dream I had in the coma my friend was there. When I came too I didn’t believe my mom telling me he was dead because those dreams were so real. I relived the three days before the wreck in those dreams but everything was perfect. In the dreams there was a car wreck but nobody was hurt. It almost seems like our brain tries to protect us from the trauma by creating a different memory.

This guy is the most level headed genuine thoughtful smart well thought out articulate person I’ve ever heard. I learned so much from listening to this guys story. I lost it when he said you just second guess everything after you lose a kid. I could feel that to my core. The fact he reaches out to people and friends even after going through this. His matter of fact attitude is admirable and the fact that he doesn’t sugar coat shit is refreshing. It also makes me not take every second w people who are in our lives for granted. I also have someone close to me who went through something traumatic and I distanced myself for fear of being faced with not knowing what to say or how to say it. This gentleman taught me that you don’t have to say anything at all. You can sit in silence next to the person, but just be there for them. Thank you for courage.

I was nearly killed by a drunk driver. His defense tried to portray me as also driving drunk. I was on my way to work as a nurse, there was no way I was drunk. I’m not a drinker when I’m not going to work, I darn sure wasn’t drinking on my way in. I was dragged through the mud by these people that were defending a 23 yr old who had 4 drunk driving incidents in less than two years, who had no drivers license and no insurance. It was hell. I lost my home, my vehicle, my career, and my memory. I’m brain injured, have constant pain and horrific nerve damage. I will never be the same. Unlike this man in the story, I have not forgiven the kid that almost killed me. Forgiveness is not mandatory, it’s something someone earns by their behaviors. The guy who hit me is not sorry, he’s just sorry he got caught. He is owed not one ounce of forgiveness.

I knew someone who hit a toddler while driving drunk, and he killed the kid. After he got out of prison, he killed himself. It destroyed him. It destroyed the childs family. His suicide destroyed his family. A few weeks ago, my brother and his family drove by an accident. My 12 year old niece saw a bloody body crushed under a flipped car, dead. The driver was under the influence. Please, for the love of God, dont drive under the influence. The ripple effect of these things is atronomical. The destruction is unfathomable.

This is a devastating story, a devastating place to be in life...and yet to endure it and have forgiveness - this is being human to the max. Showing others what is possible. I just had to sit upright while listening to your story because your way of handling it all deserves the most respect. It is inspiring to the world and I hope that somewhere sometime it prevents someone else to bring unimaginable hardship on someone else by behaving more mindful while driving or doing anything. Thank you so much for being like you are. I wish you and your loved ones a decrease of pain and all the best, heartfelt.

Hearing from someone who lost a family member and hearing what they need and want from their friends is so helpful. It's hard to know what to say and what to do for people that go through something so tragic. I have been on the receiving end myself but hearing it from him is even better. One of my friends recently lost her husband in a car accident and they have four young kids. It's been difficult to know how to be there for her in the right ways. But the right thing is definitely not to disappear. That much is certain.

00:00 🧡 Unconditional love for a child is crucial; it's a consistent theme throughout the interview. 01:28 🚗 Tragic DUI accident details: Peter's routine day turned tragic in a head-on collision caused by a drunk driver, resulting in the loss of his 6-year-old son. 02:41 😔 The indescribable pain of losing a child is highlighted, as it's against the natural order of life. 03:55 🍺 Misinterpretation by the media about Peter's involvement in the accident; beer cans from the other driver's vehicle led to false assumptions. 05:01 🚫 Peter's alcohol test was negative despite misconceptions due to the accident's circumstances. 06:27 🛌 Initial denial and confusion after waking up from a coma, followed by a slow realization of the tragic events. 09:26 💔 The heart-wrenching experience of seeing his son for the last time at the funeral is emotionally impactful. 11:36 🏥 Extensive injuries sustained by Peter: broken bones, strokes, and critical conditions, with doctors unsure if he would survive. 14:16 🏨 Financial strain post-accident led to eviction, forcing Peter's family to stay in motels while dealing with immense emotional distress. 15:29 🧠 Compulsive visits to places associated with his son reveal Peter's subconscious search for his lost child, showcasing the depth of his grief. 18:09 ⚖ Peter's encounter with the perpetrator in court, where he forgives but urges the truth, aiming for the offender's personal growth and a positive impact post-incarceration. 20:35 🙏 The power of forgiveness as a means of personal healing, despite the immense pain and loss inflicted. 22:35 🔍 Trauma from loss can deeply affect one's sense of self-worth and perception of being a good parent. 23:15 🤝 Losing a child can strain relationships, but it's possible for a strong partnership to grow from such tragedy. 23:30 💔 The statistics indicate a high likelihood of divorce after the loss of a child, but some relationships become stronger. 24:25 ⏳ Coping with physical pain can be a continuous struggle, impacting memory and overall health. 25:21 🧠 Suffering from strokes might increase the risk of dementia or Alzheimer's, adding uncertainty to the future. 26:32 🙏 Trauma can reshape beliefs, shifting from religious to more personalized spiritual or reincarnation beliefs. 28:17 🍺 Post-trauma, some habits or vices may lose their effect or appeal due to the experience's impact. 29:54 💊 Accessing pain relief after disability can be challenging due to restrictions and stigma surrounding pain medication. 32:02 🤷 Self-blame and "what if" scenarios are common after trauma, even when irrational or unrealistic. 33:16 🚪 Trauma often reveals who stands by during hardship, as some friends and family may distance themselves from the pain. 34:18 💪 Despite adversity, the desire for stability and a return to productivity remains a driving force. 35:53 🌟 Emphasizing the unpredictability of life and the importance of kindness and expressing love regularly. 37:19 🤝 Cherishing genuine friendships becomes profound, even with the understanding of their rarity. 41:45 🕰 The value of time and human connection intensifies in the face of loneliness and distance from loved ones. 46:07 🏠 Peter's challenging move: After relocating due to a 14-day notice, he re-broke his femur during the move, immobilizing him. 47:01 😢 Emotional connection with loss: Peter relates to Hutch from Soft White Underbelly due to shared trauma, wishing he could talk to Hutch about losing his son. 47:45 🤔 Striving to be a great dad: Despite doubts, encouragement from friends fuels Peter's desire to be the best father he can be. 48:15 🤝 Blind spots and encouragement: Friends' reassurance helps Peter see beyond his self-criticism, acknowledging he might be too hard on himself. 48:42 🌟 Battling suicidal thoughts: Peter faces ongoing struggles, taking it day by day, hour by hour, especially dealing with chronic pain. 49:10 💔 Long road to healing: Peter learns from his mother, who took around five years to cope after losing a loved one in a car accident, indicating the prolonged nature of grief.

I feel his pain in every word. I hope one day, you will be able to see some light in your lives again, although it may be a different light to the one you had before, but it is there. I totally agree with you that each day that passes is another day closer to when you will see your son again one day. I often think this to myself. I have a wonderful medium who is able to connect with my son and it is so comforting to "hear" from him at least 3 times a year. I also find that writing a page of my day's happenings to my son each night is also a comfort -it is like I am chatting to him (albeit a bit one sided :-)) Hang in there, thinking of you.

So take for instance, when you win a lottery, your energy will always try to balance to neutral and maybe counterbalance with a negative (like a pendulum) and vice versa. I lost my baby before she even took her first breath, she would have been 31. That pain still sits in a corner of my heart. I have a grandson today who is just a year now. I just cannot imagine losing him. I sat and listened to your interview today and heard you, every word. Your compassion and kindness are remarkable traits considering all of the pain you have and are going through. Your loved ones are blessed to have you.

I hope he may himself have this thought at times, sometimes it helps to believe there is something else helping along the way be it Devine intervention? or what ever the case may be, even tho it’s the worst thing to possibly happen to anyone in life (losing a child) maybe that was the sign he was so frantically searching for after losing his son. Possibly already happening in the process of what was to come.. Apologies on my long reply, I just truly hope he receives what is he truly longs for in the events his had to endure..

On top of that, there is that selfishness that masks itself into something else : " I don't know what to say ". They think about landing the perfect words and ultimately don't say or do anything just to be on the safe side of their own ego, because you do not deserve an authentic action that is not calculating how this could hurt their own image. So yes, suffering is a lonely path on which we only meet people who have been taken by similar experiences. But everybody gets there, one day or another. And this is what it takes for most people, to open their heart.

See Jeff Olsen on Anthony Chene Experience. Very similar sense of injustice. On a separate note entirely, when my father was terminally ill from cancer I was training to be a therapist, and so I knew that anger is important in the healing journey of grief. I don't mean anger at the loss but anger at the dying one for leaving. So without expressing that to my father, I just, in my alone moments, allowed my inner child to sob and yell at my father, in my mind, for abandoning me and being mortal and vulnerable to death. "How could you do this right now?" "How could you get so sick when I love you so much and need you to stay?". I ended up furiously not allowing grief. I know that sounds silly but because death seemed like a rejector of me I rejected death back, by disbelieving the death had happened. I just got on with my life. And deep down I knew that the spirit of my father welcomed my feisty refusal to forgive him for going. Years later I feel he, in spirit, was more keen for me to get on with living, for life is short, and I would be seeing him in spirit before long. I am not saying that my particular way of grieving would benefit anyone else, but if grief is partially about how anguished our deep inner child feels at the loss of any loved one then it is of the child to feel anger in that turbulence. Years later my son left me after a row and never came back for a decade. In no way was his going missing anything like an actual loss of the magnitude discussed here, but I did the same thing, of allowing my childish rage at him for abandoning me. I never let him know of that. I was warm and welcoming always. I was always outwardly loving and inwardly loving, it's just that I gave a little space within me for me to yell at him for destroying what was by his leaving. It seems absurd on the face of it to release anger at the dead for going away when obviously they were not to blame and were cruelly taken. And it seems absurd for a parent to feel upset at an actual child for being too delicate and fragile and needy. It almost seems grotesque to heed our own inner child but I feel it is possible to HOLD both, the lost beloved and our raw emotions that stand testament to how treasured the beloved was and still is. Lastly, I want to revere your honestly and directness about never getting over catastrophic devastation. Your experience of brokenness will help thousands. I used to derive comfort from the poetry of Ted Hughes. His life was demolished by loss of a little girl called Ashura. She was taken by her mother Assia. For years Ted Hughes went into decline but one day he began to write of his experience of total annihilation, by writing surreal verses about a mythic Crow. The Crow symbolised his bleak black utter desolation where nothing makes any sense anymore. Not everyone can read those poem, which are often bizarre or nightmarish, but grief at its most total even erases reality as if by way of escape. Fortitude is not splendour. Fortitude is being shattered yet still bearing up.

I'd quit drinking about 6 months before his accident. I never got in a wreck and never got a DUI or in any kind of legal trouble but absolutely should have. More than 5 years later I still get a chill watching these kind of videos and thank the gods that my stupid selfish addiction never impacted anyone like this. They're very helpful for us former drunks and serve as a reminder to never go back.

thank you for talking about living with chronic pain. Many ppl don't understand the torture one lives with. They don't understand why the depression strikes, as if you're supposed to just get over it. Thanks also for pointing out how the pain triggers memories of life's most painful moments. I hope you find peace and the internal comfort. I pray that your wife continues to also receive blessings for standing with you through this, even though she also lost a child. You are two immensely blessed people for being able to choose forgiveness, even to the friends who deserted them. Stay blessed.

Hi Peter. I lost my son to a single car wreck in 2014 . He was 22 (No drugs or alcohol involved). My wife left me within 2 years... I'm at peace with my sons passing and my wife leaving now. At the time I didn't see it coming but it can happen like you said in these circumstances (95%). Just keep your head held high and keep moving forward. Worked for me. I'm in the best place I've been in 20 yrs.

I’ve watched probably two hundred of your interviews and this one tore me up the most. Maybe it’s because I have a 7yo son but I physically feel sick and just wanted to keep weeping for this guy the entire time. He’s such an A+ human and he hasn’t let it make him a monster which is miraculous.. no one deserves that kind of unbearable pain but especially a guy like this. My heart just hurts. I pray this video saves many lives in his son’s honor.

So true & on point!! My niece is 6yrs and i paused when he talked about his son sitting closer that day.. I didn't expect myself to cry this hard... And the forgiveness he showed at the court.. I had to repeat that part more than once because it was such a beautiful expression of real genuine forgiveness. May he find peace that surpasses all understanding (& his wife too). May they experience an intimate joy between each other, because she stood by him in a beautiful way. May they find joy together despite "friends" going silent, and that heartless landlord. They have a gift many ppl don't enjoy - growing old with the love of your life. They have been through a lot together and they deserve that intimate joy and peace and security that will accompany their big hearts.

@@therealpetergeo True. They can't understand. For them to understand would mean your loss compounded by their number. That would be even more horrific. But I do believe God saved your son from eternal death in that accident. I think there is merit to your reincarnation thoughts. I don't want to sound like a heretic, but I have had the overwhelming experience of recognizing my brother somehow in someone else many years after his death. I know nothing, and I've never told anyone that. I also know a brother is not a son by magnitudes, but in subsequent years, I have found reconcilliation and peace with his death. I pray that for you and your family.

My worst fear is when someone takes the child. I call it hiding the child. It's when a sibling, or any baby not your own, is taken as a hostage. It's horrific. I've played this game so many times that neither I, or any of my siblings, have ever given birth or had a child. The game "find the child" will rip the humanity out of any person.

Out of all the interviews you’ve done, this one has really stuck with me. So many of his analogies, compassion, realness…. Man… I have not lost a child but I have lost family and the grief, the pain, physical and emotionally and mentally… and the part where he said you can count on one hand who the genuine friends are who are there for you…. Absolute truth. Peter I’ll never forget you and your son’s story. Thank you, and my love truly and genuinely is with you and your family. If I could bring your boy back I would in a split second Xxxx

@@therealpetergeo smiles, I bet this is one of the very few interviews, if not the only one, where the comments are 100% kind. I know that in the USA they have MADD, mothers against drunk drivers, I wonder if there is a DADD for the fathers. These mums give talks at high schools etc to show the faces and actual impact of a moment of thoughtlessness. If you aren't already, maybe if you ever feel able to, you could give talks to teens and young adults and even to people who have been caught DUI. Showing them that the survivors lives are ruined in many ways and that the world gets robbed of the chance to see what your eldest boy and all the other people killed by a drunk/drugged driver could have been. For various reasons, I completely understood when you talked about what it's like to really not want to be here and to have to fight that desire because you have your wife and younger son and they both want and need you alive. Its not only them that wants you alive, I do as well. Mel ❤

Survivor's guilt is 100% real. It takes about 5 years for a traumatic brain injury to heal. I'm a disabled former emergency nurse. I've had chronic pain for 37 years. I have 2 herniated discs in my spine (neck). They fused naturally so no surgery is indicated. I think this Dad is doing better than he gives himself credit for.❤️ Embedded in my memory is the crying wail of a parent whose infant-child has died unexpectedly.😰

There is no timeframe on “healing” a TBI. I had a TBI 26 years ago, the first 5 years I made a lot of improvement but still continue to get better everyday. It took me a good 10 years just to start to learn how to function “normally” with a TBI. The biggest improvements came way after the 5 year mark. We can always get better if we want too.
