1. Allow Yourself to Grieve and Mourn. Healing after a motorcycle crash starts with allowing yourself time to grieve the loss of your bike and ride, as well as anything else that may have been affected by the incident, such as pets or material things. This can be an extremely difficult process for some, but it’s important to acknowledge and address these feelings, rather than bottle them up inside you. Although the accident was not your fault, the reality is you still experienced pain and loss because of someone else’s negligence or misjudgment. It will take time to work through all of these emotions, perhaps longer than you expect. Be patient with yourself as this healing process plays out.
2. Seek Out Support from Family and Friends. Many people who experience similar pain will seek the support of family and friends after a motorcycle crash. Be sure to reach out to those you know will be there for you, whether it’s through providing emotional support or helping with any practical needs. If your loved one was injured in the accident, then their treatment could deplete time, energy and money that is already stretched thin. Make it known that you are easily accessible so they can lean on you whenever necessary.

Having gone through such an emotionally draining event, it’s crucial that you take care of yourself physically and emotionally throughout the healing process. This includes getting sufficient rest, eating well-balanced meals, exercising regularly (even if it’s just walking around the block a few times each day) and taking time for yourself. If you have children, then don’t forget to carve out some time to bond with them as well. Spending time together will also help improve your emotional state after all that you’ve been through.
