I diganosed Holden with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat.
Symptoms-with PTSD have frightening thoughts and memories of their ordeal and feel emotionally numb, especially with people they were once close to. They may experience sleep problems, feel detached or numb, or be easily startled.

The Five Stages of Grieving and Loss- Probably the most painful part of life is loss. Our experience of loss is described by one word more than any other grieving. The losses are usually more remote, at first, like a grandparent or school acquaintance. The closer the relationship, the deeper the grief.
1.) Denial and Isolation
2.) Anger
3.) Bargaining
4.) Depression
5.) Acceptance
