Add me to the PM list. It happened to me about four years ago. *It's Not Your Fault!*, there's nothing you could have done to change this. Now, girlfriend, here's a few useful tidbits: You're under stress. This means that your reaction time will not be as good (be extra careful driving the car), you'll need more time to think things through when you make a decision. Your short-term memory may well be horrible for a while; write yourself notes and reminders. Your reading comprehention/attention span may go 'way down, but it, like all these other things will return to normal eventually. Even if you like it, avoid Country & Western music, the lyrics are too depressing for the moment (I got this advice from a book!) Alcohol is a depressant. If you do have a glass of something, don't drink alone. Do what you must, then do what you can.

Your concern for your daughter is a very good thing, and it will not be lost on her.
