How do I get my daughter to stop whining about her leg amputation?

My daughter was a ballerina for over 10 years. She started when she was 7 and won many awards. She planned on touring with the Bolshoi Ballet in Europe after graduating high school.

Last year she was driving home from a ballet performance in Chicago and was hit by a drunk driver. The accident shattered her spine and her right leg had to be amputated.

Now all she does is sulk and cry over having to quit ballet and being a cripple. How do I get her to shut up? I threw away her ballet trophies to help her get over it but it's made her even worse. What should I do? She's really annoying.
