Caring For Ptsd Sufferer

It comes in many shapes and forms Some from abuse some from wars Others include accidents or death One thing is real they are  all bereft I'm talking about ptsd in remission Anyone can suffer from this condition It is always there in the mind Helpless lonely feeling blind To help these people you must be strong Sometimes it's tiring and days are long Be there for them when they call To you it may appear so small Give them a hug if there are down If there tears are flowing don't just frown Listen to them as their fears unfold Pull up your chair as experiences are told Once  they've spoken do not mock   There mind is ticking like a cuckoo clock If you do they may implode Or worst still totally explode What they need is a reason to live You are the power and need to give Don't condescend  and say normal stuff It will be ok is not enough Find something they can grab hold A purpose in life that can't be sold A feeling of a accomplishment is a must Alot to give and gain there trust Once this hurdle has been broken Many other things will be spoken Listen intently and offer advice Whatever you do don't patronise If you struggle and can't complete Liase with a charity who you can meet They will help you save this friend Ptsd is a killer and that needs to end
