Today the psychologist and I told Timothy everything we know about the accident. He has not remembered anything about it. When we told him about James and Kevin, he became quite emotional just as anyone would. He had been asking us and the railroad men what happened so it was time to tell him the truth. I think he will remember what we told him tomorrow. That was one of the concerns--that he would have to be told more than once and have to endure the pain over and over.
The therapists were alerted that he was aware of the facts so they were careful with him but kept him busy. The speech therapist had him use the computer and find the stompers 4x4 website. That helped take his mind of things for awhile.
Right now he is resting. The psychologist will be in from time to time to talk with him this week.
The family has been dreading this moment, but I am glad Timothy knows the truth so we can deal with it honestly.

ReplyDeleteOur concerns are with Tim as he takes in the trauma of this information into his heart
ReplyDeleteII Corinthians 1:3,4 says, "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father of mercies, and the God of ALL comfort; Who comforeth us in ALL our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
Timmy is very lucky to work with such a wonderful group of people. Not everyone has that kind of closeness with their co-workers. I'm so sorry for the other 2 families that were not as fortunate as us. We certainly haven't forgotten them & their losses. God Bless them.
