How my mother murder my father
So painful Iga swaitex stated in a recent interview
Iga Swaitex, a young woman from Warsaw,
lost her entire family in a tragic road accident on the A2 highway near Łódź. This event changed her life forever, leaving her with unimaginable pain and emptiness that accompany her every day. In this interview, she talks about her experiences, emotions, and the difficult path to accepting her loss.
The Tragic Accident That Changed Everything
The accident happened on a Saturday evening when the Swaitex family was returning from a vacation by the sea. Iga was at work when she suddenly received a call that turned her world upside down. “It was something that can’t be described in words. When I heard there was an accident, I didn’t want to believe it. It felt like a nightmare that I would wake up from any moment,” she recalls with tears in her eyes.
According to police reports, the car in which the Swaitex family was traveling was pushed into the oncoming lane by a truck whose driver had lost control. Everything happened so quickly that there was no way to avoid the collision. Both of Iga’s parents, as well as her younger brother and sister, died at the scene.
The First Moments After the Tragic Loss
When the police arrived at Iga’s house to inform her about the tragedy, she was in shock. “I didn’t understand what was happening. The officer’s words sounded like something out of a movie—I couldn’t process them,” Iga says. For the next few days, she was under the care of a psychologist, but no help could lessen the enormity of the suffering that overwhelmed her.
“Everyone kept telling me to hold on, to be strong, but how can you be strong when you lose everything? My family was my life, the meaning of my existence. I felt completely alone,” she adds.
The Difficult Path to Acceptance
For the first few weeks after the accident, Iga couldn’t find the strength to continue her daily duties. “It felt like nothing made sense anymore,” she says. For a long time, she didn’t leave her house and avoided contact with friends and acquaintances. “I felt like no one could understand me. Everyone who tried to console me with words only made things worse,” she admits.
After months of struggle, Iga decided to seek help in support groups for people who had also experienced similar tragedies. “It was difficult, but I saw that I wasn’t alone. Shared meetings and conversations gave me a bit of strength to survive each day,” she says.
Life After Tragedy
Despite the enormous loss, Iga is slowly trying to return to normalcy. She works and sometimes spends time with friends, though she often feels her life will never be the same. “I feel like I constantly carry a deep sadness, but I try to live. I know my family would want me to be happy,” she says with a slightly trembling voice.
Iga also reveals that she’s trying to find a way to honor her family’s memory. She plans to create a foundation that will support road accident victims and their families. “I want this tragedy to bring at least a little good. Maybe I can help someone who finds themselves in a similar situation,” she says hopefully.
The Need for Change and a Call to Society
Iga’s tragedy also sparked a broad discussion about road safety in Poland. Many people express solidarity with her, and her story has touched thousands of hearts. Iga calls for greater caution on the roads and stricter regulations for truck drivers, who pose a significant threat on highways.
“I hope this tragedy makes people more responsible. One mistake can take away an entire family,” Iga emphasizes.
How Iga Sees the Future
Asked about her plans for the future, Iga responds that her priority is to survive each day. “I know time heals wounds, but my loss is too great to forget. I’m trying to live with the hope that one day I’ll find the strength to be happy, even without my family,” she says sadly.
Although Iga has a long way to go to accept this loss, her story may serve as an inspiration for many people struggling with their own hardships.
