Dear All
I have been fairly absent from these forums for a while due to other commitments but was hoping not to be drawn back by such bad circumstances.
I am involved in a collision with a cyclist yesterday and he is now in hospital undergoing surgery. I am not injured but am in complete shock and can't believe this has happened.
I am awaiting an update on his condition as well as news from the police.
If you could send some healing to him and to me it would be much appreciated. If anyone has been in a similar situation any tips on how to get through this would be much appreciated.
Deepest gratitude

Hi Sunbeam
I do know how you feel, I had a cyclist crash into me one morning, she came from the kerb and turned into me, she didn't see me, I braked, she was ok, cuts and bruises as she came through the windscreen. I had given her a wide berth and was straddled over the centre white line, she just didn't look.
I was incredibly lucky as I had a very reliable witness who watched the whole thing.The cyclist'sfamily turned extremely nasty and aggressive and attempted to take me to court, but the case against me just wasn't after their solicitor read the police reports, he strongly urged they drop the matter as did the Police, who in the end prosecuted the family, successfully, for wasting Police time
I hope the cyclist in your case will recover, was it a child or adult?
The local schools here held a cycle training course for 8 to 12 yr olds, one of the children who received the diploma promptly ran out into the traffic and was killed.
Your own feelings will vary from lack of confidence that you caused the accident, to extreme anger once the shock has passed and you are not culpable

Dear Sunbeam
A big hug to you and the cyclist! And of course I will include you both in my prayers. [sm=hug.gif]
Sunbeam – you need above all to forgive yourself for this. You didn’t do it deliberately bless you! I’m sure it would help all of you if you could visit the cyclist in hospital (and also his family).
You say “I can’t believe this has happened”, well, I find that the best way to overcome the effects of accidents and also to help protect ourselves and others from accidents in the future is to do just that! Shut out of your thought the movie of the event that is trying to do constant re-runs and move your focus to a higher plane – the spiritual.
It might sound foolish and impossible, but right where all this pain and guilt and shock is, right there is God’s constant, unconditional loving care and protection – both for you and the cyclist. Right there is the spiritual reality, which is always safe, harmonious and whole – never touched by the mortal nightmare.
I was once waiting to turn right and the setting sun was very strong. The other driver was blinded by the sun and drove right into me. Immediately, I felt shock taking over, but just as quick, I thought “No, I have a choice here – I do not have to accept this either for myself or the other driver” and the whole thing left. Another time, I had was at a traffic light when a coach jumped the red light and hit a woman who was crossing the road. I administered first aid and was with the woman for some time until the emergency services arrived. I was able to calm the husband when he arrived at the scene and get him to agree for me to take their little daughter to their neighbors while he went with is wife to hospital.
That was a more difficult “movie” to get out of my head but I was able to find the peace that not only I but also all the onlookers and above all, the driver and the family needed. I was in touch with the family and visited them. She made a very quick recovery.
I typed “accidents” into the search box on www.spirituality.com and found several articles showing how the connection to our higher selfhood – our spiritual selfhood which exists right where the mortal seems to be – has brought healing and protection to people involved in accidents. We are not the helpless victims of chance. Here are just a couple from there, which I hope you will find helpful.
