When my grand daughter was 11(now 17) we were in a car accident. We were hit head on by a drunk driver,she saw that driver ejected from his van and hit out car and bounce off and die. Then 5 months later she witnessed her 16 year old brother drown in the river during a family outing. Her PSTD is huge. Baby steps for her to attempt to live her life, she sees them each and every day. In the auto accident it was her and i in my car,every day I wish that I would have been the one to see what she did and for her to not have seen it. I didn't see because of the air bags and passing out.I as an adult and a nurse could deal with it better than an 11 year old. thank you for your time

I'm surely sorry that your granddaughter is living with those horrible memories. She's fortunate to have a loving and supportive family. I know that time is said to be a good healer, but it's the"meantime" that presents great challenges. We need whatever help is available. Friends, groups like this one, therapists, church, family - help can show up in many ways, sometimes unexpected ways. I value deeply the support I've found here.
