When something terrible happens to a person, sometimes their body gets stuck. They then relive that event, or series of events, over and over again. This is called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and it's incredibly debilitating.
If you know anyone with this disorder, please show them kindness. They've been through a lot.
If you know anyone whom you suspect has PTSD, urge them to get it checked out by a mental health professional. There's no need for them to carry the weight of the past for the rest of their lives.
