Plenty of online resources offer suggestions for dealing with grief and its related emotions when people experience loss, as happened in Saturday’s deadly crash in Campton Hills.
Dealing with the loss of a loved one, whether family member or friend, is never easy and might be more difficult when the death is an accident or appears senseless. The deaths of Jennifer Liston, 30, of Madison, Wis., and Zachary Bingham, 18, of Maple Park, on Saturday night, Dec. 1, certainly have elicited an array of emotional reactions, including anger toward Liston, who was driving at speeds of more than 100 mph before the accident along Route 38 in Campton Hills. Liston was driving a car stolen in Wheaton. She was involved in a hit-and-run accident in Geneva before the deadly crash, and fled when a Kane County sheriff’s deputy began to pursue her. The deputy ended the chase when Liston hit speeds of more than 100 mph. Witnesses said …
Watershed 1969 book transformed the medical community’s approach toward dying patients. It identified five key steps that are a part of the grieving process among the dying but which since have gained broader acceptance.
In her 1969 book, On Death and Dying, Elizabeth Kübler-Ross detailed the five stages of grieving she observed during her work with dying patients. In her book, Kübler-Ross not only identified the characteristics of those emotional reactions to impending death, but she also noted they occur in no particular order, and that the individual may revisit the stages from time to time. Since the publication of her book, the five stages she described have become more broadly known as the grief cycle in any situation involving loss. Such a grieving process is ongoing for those mourning the loss of two people killed in a fatal car accident in Campton Hills last weekend. The five stages are fairly simple and are noted in the Elizabeth Kübler-Ross …

A Wisconsin woman was driving a car stolen in Wheaton when it collided with a Maple Park man’s vehicle. Both were killed in the four-vehicle crash.
After being involved in a minor hit-and-run accident in Geneva, the driver of a car stolen in Wheaton fled on Route 38 at speeds in excess of 100 mph and struck another vehicle head-on, triggering a four-car crash that killed her and another driver Saturday night. Authorities have not determined whether alcohol played a role in the accident. Police said an incident that transpired in the 1900 block of Illinois Street in Wheaton before the accident is still under investigation.

Very helpful article, and well-thought. I do not feel anger, nor should others, toward the family of a 30-year-old woman who behaves in a reckless manner such as this accident, because at 30 years she's an independent adult and making her own decisions -- she's not being advised by family members to drive recklessly not to steal a car. The fact that family members and friends are publicly … more ›
