- Anger
- Violated
- Helpless
- Powerless
- Hurt
- Betrayed
- Hostility
- Disregarded
- Unimportant
Let me share with you how these arise following a devastating accident or injury arising from medical carelessness.
Following a traumatic event, you will experience disbelief. It will be difficult to accept what has happened. As you begin to play back in your own mind what occurred you will soon recognize feelings of helplessness, betrayal and that you are powerless to change what has happened.
These are powerful emotional triggers that are inevitable with any traumatic event. As you begin to delve into how and why these events happened and what might have been done to prevent this tragedy, you will soon begin experiencing feelings of anger, hostility and betrayal by those you trusted.
As you seek more answers into why this happened you’ll also find yourself feeling as if your thoughts and opinions are disregarded, and that people are paying you lip service so they don’t have to deal with your troubles. You will feel unimportant and unfulfilled when seeking answers to your questions. That in turn leads to further anger and resentment.
3 THINGS YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY DO
When faced with these overwhelming emotional triggers following a catastrophic tragedy involving permanent injury or loss of life, there are three things you can do immediately that will help you cope and deal with what you need to do next.
First, you need to speak with your family members and gain support from them.
Second, it is often helpful to speak to a grief counselor. That could be a psychologist, a psychiatrist or your spiritual leader.
Third, it would help you greatly to speak to an experienced trial lawyer to evaluate what your options are and how to deal with the emotional trauma you are suffering from.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
As you work your way through these emotions, keep in mind that you are never alone. You will however feel alone when you’re sitting at home by yourself with the lights off or when go to sleep at night. Rest assured though, that there are others who have gone through what you have, and have come out of it successfully with a fresh outlook on life.
