Nearly 18 years ago my wife was the serious victim of a car accident. At the outset, I was there trying to do what I could to help, but I did feel so helpless. I am not a doctor or nurse. During the first couple of weeks I withdrew. My wife was hurt by the fact I rarely visited her in the hospital during her two-week stay. I found myself pulling weeds from the landscape and not saying much of anything. Family had difficulty understanding my silence and lack of support. Looking back in retrospect, I felt shame over my action, or lack of action. Reading your comments today have taken a very heavy weight off my shoulders. I would also like to think that it will not happen again. Several times in the last few years I have thrown my soul at the foot of God, knowing full well my passage through some very difficult times would not be Godly without the help of the Holy Trinity, Mary and my guardian angel. I have been blessed and this blog entry has given me even greater insight. God bless. Carol, this was a very profound insight for me as a man.
