There have been busy all the sites in the preparedness for togtragedien on Wednesday morning. Also in Falck Healthcare, where the DSB has set up a special number for crisis counseling for the use of passengers, staff and relatives.
Falck Healthcare informs that special yesterday was busy, but it is that also remains today, where several relatives have been calling in.
People’s requests are very individual, but a common feature of people seeking crisis counseling after accidents such as on the great belt Bridge, is that they need someone to share the experience with.
Psychologist at Falck Healthcare Ida Tetzlaff explains, on a general level about the reactions people can have after an accident:
Some will find that it fills more and more. It can be in the form of flash backs. Some will find that their sleep becomes affected, either they can’t sleep, or that they will sleep very much, like the appetite can be influenced.
the Psychologist stresses that it is quite common and quite normal that you can experience different reactions.
– But what you need to be aware of, is how much it continues to fill. The important thing is that you’ll notice, if not here is good. It is here I can’t even get the country again.
Psychologist-conversations can not remove the experience of the people, but as Ida Tetzlaff said:
– Some conversations can help with that process. I usually say that it is a little like a rucksack, you go with. If you get the support to pack the backpack on, so it may be a little easier to bear.
– If you know someone who has been close to the accident, how can you best help them?
– The important thing is that it is not taboo, saying to them that you know they have experienced or witnessed this accident. One should not force it down over the people, not shut the door on them, but say to them that you are there and want to listen, if they need to talk about it.
Eight people lost their lives, and 16 persons were injured as a result of the accident, as a lastvognstrailer smoke of a freight train and hit a passing express train.
Odense university Hospital reported Thursday morning that 14 of the injured had been discharged, while two were still hospitalized.
