On Sunday, staff within the church and the municipality were available to support everyone who needed to talk about what had happened.
In the event of such a serious accident with a fatal outcome, the POSOM group becomes important with its good knowledge of being able to handle people in grief, says Per Hilding who is the safety coordinator in Degerfors municipality.
- Since then, staff from the church and the social administration have been here for everyone who wants to talk, he says.
A municipality in mourning
That the tragic fatal accident left its mark is something that is noticeable.
- Degerfors is a small municipality and many know each other.
When a young person dies, there are a lot of contact areas, so it is clear that there is a lot of talk about it, says Mikael Norell.
