I asked him to tell me what happened just before the accident.

Who I was before the accident is just a story now.

Before the accident, she had been the mother of 11 children.

I hadn't seen him for about a year and a half before the accident.

What had he been feeling these last several months before his accident?

I thought of the house where life would be going on as it had before the accident.

I came to terms with that long before the accident.

For a while before the accident, it was a good life.

It had been taken only two months before the accident.

At home, before the accident, he hadn't said so much to her for years.
