[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 143332, member: 1697"] sadly it was Brian himself who was just 2 days prior, pointing fingers of blame at people involved in the previous crash. The kids are all trying to sort it out, trying to find that line where they do not hold onto the anger and blame so much, as try to forgive and help and be supportive. They are learning....it is a slow process, and sadly, they have already had far too many incidents to grow these life sklls of forgiveness, supportiveness etc. BUT yes, they do have divisive times, and difficult times in the process. All the kids do seem to be very aware that even the driver of the car needs something inside him, some tenderness, compassion etc, and the kids do seem to be aware the driver is most likely his own harshest judge. They were asking me before school this morning if there was any way they could help the driver, without upsetting the family of the hurt boy. They also are already considering a fundraiser to help financially with the injured boy and his family. Counseling is and always has been a big part of life for all my kids-----and for several of their friends, partly due to just how much they all already have experienced.....my kids friends and this area in general does seem to have given the kids so much on their plates already. ALl the kids here have suffered SO much loss. SO much devastation etc. I am grateful the kids do talk- do open up- do ask questions, do put their feelings out in the open so we all CAN work with them to try to help them come to terms with things. I do not have another update right now, but, I am hoping the surgery went well. The kids this morning were ALL subdued. Seems to match the weather today (dreary) I think every kid went and looked at the scene, and I had to go over to courthouse today, and even over there, the accident was a big topic of discussion.
