...after a tramatic event.
Recently I woke up and had a long message waiting on my computer from a friend. It began "I watched a 2 year old die today..."
To summarize the story that followed;
My friend is a leader at a summer time church camp, and his mentor and boss who owns the camp has two sons, age 2 and 12. One day some of the staff was cleaning up the garbage cans in the camp. The 12 year old was helping and jumped in the camp truck to back it up to a garbage can. His little brother came running out of a nearby building to be with his brother, and in a terrible accident the 2 year old tripped and his brother ran over the young boys head.
So my friend was there to witness the whole thing.. a young child that he had spent so much time with died right in front of him.
My friend has had some time to himself, but he's always quiet now. And I don't quite know the best way to help.
Have you guys been through something similar?
