What is the worst day of your life?

Well just recently December 9th, 2004 my aunt she took a large and possibly fatal fall down her stairs. These stairs are nasty too, there's about 20 of them, steep and uncarpeted. Well anyway my uncle heard her take a couple of steps down them and then a large crash. When my aunt didn't answer he got up to see if she was ok, much to his surprise she was laying face down in a pool of blood at the bottom of the stairs. She's now in the ICU at a local hospital and laying there lifeless on life-support, she's got a skull fracture behind her right ear, and if she does live she won't have any mobility or speech possibly. But she's got tubes in her head and everywhere it's a scary, scary thing. It hurts so much to see her, I wouldn't see her at first because she was so critical, I didn't want my last memory of my aunt to be this. Anyway it will be a long time before they know if she will actually be able to come out of this...I didn't think this could hurt so bad, but it really, really does. And what really sucks for my uncle is that he just had back surgery in August, and he's still recovering from that, he's all doped up on pain killers and to see him suffer with my aunt in her condition really makes you want to cry. Seeing a grown man show that much grief, it breaks your heart.

So yes I agree with you death would be worse than a physical inujury but, the road to waiting to see if that injury will lead to death is no picnic either.
