Tragic end to my husband's day at work!

[Cetawin]

I will say a prayer for your husband, I can only imagine how hurt and shocked he is.

Prayers for the young man and his family as well.

DH went back to work yesterday and did okay. He said it was rough going in the morning but got better in the afternoon. They had grief counselors there all day but my husband was none too impressed with them. They don't really do a lot of one on one counseling but just tell them what to expect. I think it's a little late 5 days later but at least they tried. Asked him if he thought he might need to talk to someone and he said he didn't think so. Let him know that all he had to do was say the word and I would call the doc!! He said he was fine and knew he had good things to look forward to everyday when he comes home. Meaning me and his girls!!!! That makes me happy.

Today he is layed up with kidney stones. Poor guy can't get a break. Woke up at 1am in a lot of pain. Hoping they pass and he will get back on his feet!!! Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes from everyone!! BYCers are the best!

Here is my suggestion.

Go through the phone book or even call your Doctor or even his. Find a therapist that does eye movement therapty.

It helped me through a car accident where 3 lives were lost. I had the nightmares, flash backs, night sweats and I couldn't smell motor oil without losing it. I almost attacked a person that made a nasty remark to myself and a friend.
It helped me to get past that.

It is a moving yet sad thing to read how your husband has taken this tragedy. I hope he will find someone to talk to about this.

Just seeing this.

I'm very sorry about that accident.

I understand how that must be on him, and YOU, to know that something has affected him and probably changed him, forever. I'm glad he's feeling better lately.

As far as the grief counselors go, my hubs isn't impressed with them either and says he'd never waste his time with them. No one could force him, but it does make me worried about what he might come across at home, and how it will change him and therefore our family life. So far he's been able to talk about it with me, or if I'm unable to bear bad news myself, then his parents.

He is an EMT and there's been a handful of times when he just can't leave "work" at work. And who could blame him? That said, my thoughts are with your husband and also the family of the guy who was killed.

I'm so sorry. It's so hard for guys - women are allowed to wail and carry on when they need to but guys are stuck with having to appear tough.

DH and I both work security at a steel recycling manufacturing plant and we worry daily about something happing. I know the plant where we work is safe and every one works hard to keep it that way but things happen sometime.
I hope your DH talks to some one if he needs to. Thoughts and pray go out to young mans family
