After a little prodding, she admitted she had managed to get over her divorce by getting into a relationship quickly after her marriage ended. "I was amazed at how easily I could forget my husband," she said. Her relationship with her new boyfriend lasted only a few months, and yet she says she still has feelings for him.

Is my friend ready for another new relationship? Perhaps if she wants her next relationship to closely resemble her previous two. But not if she wants something different.

The only way to forget a former relationship as soon as you enter a new one is by avoiding your feelings of grief over breakup. You would instead look for new relationship to fill you up.

Minneapolis, MN, August, 2002 – When Daniel Prins’ wife was injured in a car crash he thought all he had to do was notify his insurance company to get matters resolved. After all, another driver who was charged with DWI hit his wife Johanna and she was taken to hospital by ambulance.

After weeks of frustration, Prins, Marketing Consultant, built an Internet Assistance Program “The Car Crash Victims Alliance Of America.” The site provides free information for car crash victims on how to protect themselves against serious financial exposure (http://www.carcrashvictims.citymax.com).

“I Didn’t Realize I Had So Few Friends”

While insurance company claims personnel are usually courteous, Prins had no idea that his wife’s case was immediately “compartmentalized”. He had to deal with a cast of about a dozen (medical bills from hospital, his own and other driver’s main insurance contact, police, claims adjusters, property damage, etc.). In process, he found out that most of these individuals have their own agenda. Said Prins:” I believe only people truly on our side were Emergency Crew and Police at scene of accident.”

Accident Frequency Is Astonishing

About 42,000 people are killed on our nation's highways each year. The fact is vehicle crashes are an even greater threat to life and health in U.S. than crime! In 2000, there was one murder every 34 minutes, while one person died from a traffic crash every 13 minutes. There was one violent crime every 22 seconds, but one crash-related injury every 10 seconds. Traffic crashes are leading cause of death in U.S. for people ages 6-33, and their economic cost is estimated to be $230.6 billion per year.
