Accidents, crimes, and deaths that a person experiences or witnesses firsthand are far more terrifying and traumatizing than just watching them on television, social media sites, or reading about them in books. No one is immune to these gruesome and scary scenarios, especially if they involve a life-and-death situation.

Watching people on the verge of death or actually seeing them die can have a negative impact on a person's mental, emotional, and physical health. These worst experiences usually haunt them in their sleep, and they are sometimes triggered by things that remind them of such horrible happenings.

There are dangers, catastrophes, and other things that make human life shorter than it actually is in the real world. According to Lee Chambers, a psychologist and wellbeing consultant, these unexpected and unfortunate accidents can happen, but they are part of human existence, and there are ways that people can cope with them.

"Understanding that things are sometimes out of our control helps us to accept that not everything goes to plan, and accept when things happen to us that are negative. This acceptance allows us to embrace the change and difference, and manage our expectations so we can become more resilient to the ups and downs that all our lives lead," he pointed out.
