A man severely burned in an SUV crash is sharing his story of recovery at the Canadian Burn Survivors Community conference in Calgary this week.
He went to his first burn survivor conference in 2012 and to the world burn conference in Indiana a couple of years after that.
“I was alone with this injury. Nobody wanted to talk about it. Nobody knew how to deal with it,” Ward said on Saturday at the Calgary conference. “I didn’t have any support back in 1961 and if you had any kind of disability back then you were put in the background,” “I turned a disaster into something very successful and positive,” Ward said. “At the conferences, they start getting comfortable in their new skin and they open up. They cry but they get things out and they’re gathering information.”
