Newbie in hospital invited to support group

As it turned out the gentleman did not sleep the night before then 2 hours of therapy he was sleeping so I said let him rest.

 

yesterday I stopped to check on him and he was angry directed at me. the therapy aid had written the support group meeting on the big white board schedule.

the newbie yelled at me " if I want to go to therapy ( support group) I'll make that decision, not you.

 

I told him that group is completely voluntary,

 

I hope in time he processes through his losses, too early right, maybe it was too much of a reality check, he is definitely in the anger stage.

 

of course we look back and say wow I wish I had had that opportunity, but we may have reacted the same way that early in the recovery process.

 

be blessed and be a blessing,

I slept hours and hours in the hospital. My brain was doing its thing,my body reacted to all the new meds they put me on all at once,my emo responses came from brain thing,meds,exhaustion,Disbelief. I did not think about a support group in the hospital.

 

Keep planting seeds. Some may grow,some may hibernate for later on. Just know you are doing productive work even if you never see it yourself.

Thank you for the supportive words I really do appreciate it

I was just talking with my mother in law about this and her point was well he's obviously got a lot of things on his mind he's angry and he took his anger out on you so you did do something good

 

I pray for him daily I wish him well I would never want anybody to feel pressured to do anything that they weren't interested in doing.
