I'm sure you have already thought of this, but have you tried sitting in a chair in her room quietly while she goes to sleep to reassure her that there is nothing to be afraid of?  What exactly is she afraid of?

Dying, murderers, strange sounds in the night, various diseases... You name it, she's afraid of it.

And yeah, we've tried that, too. The sleep I got last night (about 2.5 hours, I think) was in a makeshift bed outside her room...

Have you tried singing to her?

Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed.

*Me* singing? You are joking, of course. She does have problems, but there's no need to add PTSD to them.  ;)

Seriously, thanks for the suggestion. I'm not suitable for the task but my wife has tried that, I think.

Actually I was hoping that you couldn't sing. You warbling on to some old musical, and dancing could help make her laugh. Laughing is always great for relaxing people.

I tell her stupid jokes, doesn't that amount to something? But me, singing, nooooooo.

This is way more interesting than 'Robinson Crusoe".  That's kind of sad.

i have a vague idea, but i also have an extremely well-honed schadenfreude muscle, and i reckon listening to you sing could be fuel for ripping the piss out of you for ages:P

Wouldn't work. You'd have full-blown tinnitus and wonder if you had the guts to ask Flo for suitable herbs for the condition. And yes, maybe you'd consider buying a gun.

It makes me feel good inside in a kind of twisted way, the number of people who know the word schadenfreude on this forum.
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.
Reverence is fine, Sanctity is silly.
We're all fucked, it helps to remember that.
