C. Henry Adams would like to extend his condolences to the Family of Nathaniel T. Cope, 31, of Hiram, Georgia who passed away. Prayers of healing goes out to the other driver and all people who witness this accident.
On Thursday, July 26th 2024, I decided to take a walk to a local store called, " Dollar General " from the Subdivision. While walking down this road toward an intersection, I heard a sound like that of a " boom " or collision. Then, looking down the road as I approach the point at which two things intersect... There with others, I witness in the dusk of the day, a tragedy which resulted in the death of a motorcyclist.
According to the Mayo Clinic on the Internet. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967;
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition
that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or
witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe
anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
The death of the motorcyclist occurred minutes prior to myself appearing in the Dollar General store. I took a picture of the receipt to show as proof that I was near that area.
I share this experience and ordeal in an attempt to help heal myself and others who could possibly relate to experiencing Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Why? Well, I know now that it is important to try & do these things:
1) Stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself, other people in the World when you encounter a surreal event that could likely cause Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
2) Have hope for the your future & other people futures.
3) Talk to a close friend, close family member & or licensed mental health professional or Doctor.
4) The surreal event will likely place you into shock; keep moving forward literally and figuratively.
According to the Mayo Clinic on the Internet. https://www.mayoclinic.org/first-aid/first-aid-shock/basics/art-20056620;
Shock is a critical condition brought on by the sudden drop in blood
flow through the body. Shock may result from trauma, heatstroke, blood
loss or an allergic reaction. It also may result from severe infection,
poisoning, severe burns or other causes.
Shock keeps organs from getting enough blood or oxygen. If shock is
not treated, it can lead to permanent organ damage or even death.
UPDATE 7/28/24 10:08 EST:
After further thought, I realize that a number of people pass through that intersection and likely witness that incident which could have caused Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Perhaps, it is time that the United States of America developed a Mental Health Team of 1st Responders.
