We decided not to run any more errands ourselves for a little while, but to accept everyone's offers of help and send them instead!
I'm sorry that you've been though this...but so thankful that everyone is OK. Be gentle with yourself. I think the recommendation to seek counseling as a family is a good one. Such a physical and emotional trauma. You will heal, but the wounds are still very fresh. I hope it is not long 'til riding is a relaxing, positive experience, again.
