Love help: my girl friend who i have been with for 3 years, had just gotten - Help.com

my girl friend who i have been with for 3 years, had just gotten into a car accident 2 days ago that totaled her car and she doesn’t remember me.

She doesn’t recognize me when she sees me. She has no idea who i am. She only remembers her mother. Which i am very grateful for because she at least has someone and is not completely alone and who better to have in a time like that than your mother. I am in love with her and i don’t know what to do. All i can think about are the chances she will get her memory back and how i can help her, but i don’t have any of the answers. I don’t know what to do. I feel like i can’t live without her. Of course i love her and think to myself i will try to make her fall in love with me again if she never remembers me, but i read things about brain trauma changing people in so many ways even completely changing their personalities. So if she doesn’t remember me i don’t know if she will even be the same girl i fell in love with or if the same reasons she fell in love with me the first time will even matter or make a difference anymore. If it weren’t for the possibility of her regaining her memory and it was definitely gone permanently, it would be in my opinion, the closest she could have come to dying for me. I am obviously very grateful she didn’t die whether she gets her memory back or not because she at least still has a chance at life even if she has to start all over again and even if its not with me as long as she could be happy again. i don’t know what to do. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, and i cry every time I’m not doing anything to keep my mind occupied, and i think about her. I just feel like i don’t have any motivation to do anything with my life and I’m starting to care less and less the longer this goes on. I can see my future of me falling to old bad habits i used to use to cope. Because if i lose her i will have lost my inspiration to live, and my motivation to succeed. She is the one love of my life and i can’t imagine being happy for the rest of my life knowing what i had and lost. Especially in this way. It just seems like nothing will ever be good enough for me because i have already had the most perfect woman in the world. We had our lives planned, it was going to be perfect and nothing could stop us from doing it. And then this happened. All i am doing now is believing in god and what he can do and hoping that true love really does come from the heart and not your brain.

I’m currently going through a similar situation. He just woke up a few days ago. Thankfully, he can see, hear, talk, eat, and move his hands and legs. He remembers most of his family. I can’t go see him yet. I keep hoping he will recover fully. And even if he doesn’t remember me I will be happy as long as he’s healthy, self-sufficient and happy.
What happened in your case?
