my name is tamara. im 24 years old. on feb 23, 2014 my fiance and i had left our home to meet up with someone to buy a bearded dragon for our oldest son. we never made it there that day. it was a sunday around 2:35 p.m. a 77 year old man had a heart attack and crossed the center line and struck us head on. he was going 80 miles an hour and we were going 55. the impact killed my fiance instantly. the front of the car had crushed us inside. i was life flighted to osu medical center, in critical condition. my fiances family had been notified of the accident around 6 p.m. no one called to let my family know what was going on because they blamed me for her death. i was alone for almost 12 hours and i was listed as a jane doe. it was about midnite when my brother was notified by some of our coworkers asking how he was and if i was ok. my brother had no idea. he immediately rushed to get to me and he wasnt prepared at all. he dropped to his knees only seeing just my feet and seeing how swollen i was. i had already been in surgery for hours. i had massive internal bleeding and had part of my large and small intestines removed, half of my bowel removed and my liver and bladder was torn. my arms and legs were being pulled apart by pulleys until they could get me stable enough for more surgeries. i broke my left wrist, right upper arm, right thumb, both hips, pelvis, both femurs, left foot. i have plates in both arms, my foot and my right femur and i have screws in all of the broken bones including a long one that sits in front of my spine from my right hip to my left hip. im still under going surgeries. i spend almost 3 weeks on life support. it was when they took the tube out that i had learned of my fiances death. i screamed no and cried. the pain was so real. the kids all hated me because i didnt die in the accident and she did. i would have traded her in a heart beat if i couldve. i spent 2 months in the hospital and another 2 months in a nursing home. i didnt walk for 3 months and had to learn again. i have memory loss and the pain of not being able to rememeber if i had told her i loved her that day pains my heart everyday. im unable to work and fighting for disability but im out of money to pay my bills and im about to lose my home. i had moved back into the home my fiance and i had together at the time of the accident and i want so badly to buy it. she loved this place and it was the happiest i had ever seen her. i know this will always be her home. im so afraid of losing it. my utilities are about to be shut off and my rent isnt going to get paid. i have no where else to turn for help other than the support of families out in the world. its been a year and 1 month since i lost her and i have been suffering and struggling since only hoping and praying for the day when i can stop crying and smile again and not have to worry if im going to have a place to go. i dont know what to do... please any help at all will be very very greatly appreciated!
