my friends and i got minor car accident (slipped on ice into a guardrail and got stuck but everyone is okay) and after everyone’s families and the non emergency line was called there was a long moment after we established that everyone was okay where we just had to hang out and wait.
and obviously these things are case by case and i’m gonna talk to my friend about it in the morning but really my instinct in anything like that is to make jokes and try and lighten the mood. which i think is maybe not always appropriate but also i imagine just remaining silent and having to sit in whatever has happened when we’ve already done everything needed feels like it may be worse?
i don’t know, any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
