If there are millions and millions of people with PTSD, then there must be just as many who love them. I wanted to try to put into poem form what so many of us hold deep inside. And too often we think we are the only ones who struggle. Or if we just try harder we can fix it all.
The blessing is that there IS hope! And loving those who struggle with PTSD can truly be one of the most rewarding things we can ever do. At least for me. I thank God every day for the privilege of loving my vet and being loved by him.
This poem is now included in the newly revised version of LOVE OUR VETS: Restoring Hope for Families of Veterans with PTSD.
