unevenharmonies:sapphiredoves:king-emare:Oh shit. I never realized this.This is a depressing reality every 4th of July.My grandpa is a veteran from world war 2 and while he is older and suffering from severe dementia, every Fourth of July I can remember fireworks have triggered his ptsd and made him believe he was back in the war. This past year it was so severe that he hallucinated and thought we were trying to kill him. We have a sign like this we put outside his house and for the most part the neighborhood is really respectful, but the fireworks in the distance can still really affect him. -- source link
