SKL-you wrote exactly what I would say!

Until you can get to a therapist,just keep explaining to her that accidents can happen but that's what they are. Accidents. They don't happen every day.

Do some at home play therapy. Give her some paper and crayons and let her draw first thing in the morning. Help her put her feelings on paper. Draw pictures with her of the family in a van and their ok and happy.

Do the role playing that Slantond10 suggested. By playing it out, she can come to an understanding by working it out her way.

If she has ever had any other type of accident, like falling down and scraping a knee or someone else in the family falling off a bike, etc., you can use that as an example of how accidents happen, but we're all still here.

I know it's got to be tough because as a Mom you have places to go and things to do It's going to take time for her to process what happened and come to some peace about being in a car. The fear of losing you is so real to her.

My heart goes out to you and her. We'll be praying for that she is able to find some peace and soon.
