You can get back out there one day, you can start over.

“Listen to me closely, okay? You cannot change the past. You can’t change what happened. All you can do is accept that it happened. Wondering about the ‘maybes’ and the ‘what ifs’ isn’t going to change your future. The only thing that’s going to help you now is accepting what happened and appreciating the fact that everything is okay. You made it out of that situation alive, mostly unharmed, and intact. Your daughter made it through that ordeal unharmed. Your husband is alive and here for you, too. You have so many more positive things to think about. Don’t let yourself dwell on things that can’t be changed.”
