Facts for Health   

Health Topics: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). "The intensity of experiencing a life-threatening trauma can take time to subside. For some, it simply never does. If vivid "flashback" experiences or nightmares haunt you, if you're feeling emotionally numb or you feel plagued by worry and are losing sleep over concern for your safety, it is possible that you may be suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder. Seeking treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can help restore balance, control, and enjoyment to your life."

Front Porch of Atlanta, Grief Support Services   

Grief Support for Children and Adults. "Children and adults need to grieve the loss of a loved one. However, too often our society fails to support children after a death. Dr. Allen Wolfelt, internationally-recognized authority on grief and loss, claims that children are the "forgotten mourners" of our society. Children often experience isolation and confusion because people pressure them to "put it behind you and move on." If they fail to process the thoughts and feelings associated with loss and grief, they cannot move through the healing process. Keeping the feelings inside and pushing away the thoughts may result in relational, physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual problems in the present and lead to later difficulties in life."
