Shirel Golan, 22, survived the October 7 attack in Israel last year. She had by all accounts been an outgoing, happy young woman.  She had been at the music festival when the attack happened.  After the attack she became withdrawn and fearful.  

She died on her 22nd birthday, this past Sunday, by her own hand.  Her family blames the government for a lackluster outreach to survivors suffering from PTSD.
