It helps to read books about this disorder or about people who are dealing with this disorder, either real or fictional.
I don't read about PTSD but instead read to distract myself... to escape for a little while.

Read about greif & loss. Being informed of the process of losing a loved one, informed of what I am feeling makes me feel more normal and not alone in this.

Helps to put me back to sleep if I wake up in the night.
Read lots of books - currently reading books by Dr. Peter Levine
