Not to diminish her suffering, but I would like to counter a bit the inevitability of PTSD causing long-term harm. PTSD occurrence in soldiers follows a bell-curve with only the lower quartile having a sustained psychological disorder. The middle majorities get traumatized but after a varying length of time enter a phase of post-trauma growth. One quartile is not significantly affected by trauma and can shrug it off. Apparently optimism is a key element of trauma-resistance which is a trainable emotional intelligence skill. I'd recommend the book "on mental toughness" from harvard business review for some more insights on this
