As he approached the green light with his truck full of trusses, my brother-in-law was horrified to see a car pull out directly in front of him. There was no time to react or even brake, and unfortunately he hit the car broadside at full speed. He was saddened to hear that the elderly lady died days later from injuries. Understandably, he didn’t want to get back behind the wheel after this, yet he realized that staying stuck there would not help him, his family, or his company. His emotional and over all wellness depended on healing and moving beyond this tragedy. When an accident happens, especially involving drivers who are so conscientious about safe driving, it can seem impossible at first to overcome the shock and anguish. Yet with time and help from others, healing does happen. Let me encourage you to get in touch with someone to help you move beyond an unfortunate event, no matter how big or small, and allow your emotional wellness to be restored. Comment here.
