New Here
I'm new here and glad I found this forum. My BF is having nightmares and he confided in me about them. He is a survivor of a terrible bombing (military) in the 80's and was injured by shrapnel. His best buddy was severely injured and my BF keeps seeing his friend's shattered face in his dreams and he can feel the searing hot shrapnel burning through his fatigues. It is impossible to wake him up during these episodes and when he does wake up he is shaking for hours. It disrupts his life for several days before he is able to settle down.
The injured buddy is still alive (thankfully) but my BF refuses to see him. I'm sure he is afraid of reliving it all again but I think it would help him to see his friend.
What can I do to help him? Would it be wise for him to see his buddy?
