Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The incident happen is an accident and I think you are in a state of shock and disbelief. Body and mind takes some time to relieve itself off the shock. In the mean time you also should be able to assist it positively. Why don't you get yourself engaged in some tasks or hobbies? That way you will be able to forget the shock much more easily than being at your home and thinking about it.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
