**Update**
I stayed up in Grass Valley at his brothers for two weeks till the service that was on the 7th. It was a very nice service, I said a few kind words and the family asked me to be a pall bearer. The following morning I hoped on my bike and prayed that I make it to Ridgecrest in one piece. I did, but as soon as I got back into a bit of normacy the flashbacks, insomnia, depression got real bad. I'm a full time student right now, so I don't have health insurance, but I am a war vet. I went to a VA Hospitol and they are going to help. I'm on prozac for the depression, and I'll be seeing a PTSD specialist type to see if I have it, if I do then I'll get couseling.
I'm finding out that most people don't want to hear or think about what I witnessed, and also most people have no idea how to react to me. I kind of feel alone, even my good friends up there don't know how traumatized I got.
