Name: Francis B., 71 years old

City: Apache Junction, AZ

Brain Injury: POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD). I have experienced substantial trauma when my 11 year old daughter passed away unexpectedly.

Explanation of mask:  My mask represents the most challenging thing I have had to deal with in my life-the loss of my child-my only daughter. I depict this vast devastation and the following painful emotions: sadness, wounded, angst and loss. The loss of a child makes or breaks an individual. I have chosen to be a kind, loving and empathetic person towards others. I am a warm and giving individual who continues to make valuable contributions to this earth. I will always hold my daughter close to my heart and cherish the memories I was given.
