My handsome hubby and I got back from our conference last night. We are both so impressed with the folks who put on this particular conference on PTSD. It is by far the best program we have seen and my husband has checked out a lot of them and read the books written by many. It is called the Welcome Home Initiative. Google it to get more info. Both the Vet and his/her spouse is welcomed, cared for, loved and hugged for the entire time. And each is given time in group sessions to talk about his/her issues, prayed over and given advice to help heal. The tears flowed in buckets but there was as much or more laughter and hugs were counted by the dozen. Rob and I are both in a much better place now. I did not realize how damaged I had become as a result of my husband's anxiety disorder. But we are closer to our healthier new normal now, with the potential of growing even healthier as time goes on. We met 50 incredible people plus the staff. This country is fortunate to have such patriotic people who love our country. Rob gave the final message at an incredible ceremony that literally welcomed us all home. The church was filled almost to overflowing with several hundred people. It was very humbling and very healing to experience this. I want to thank you for your continued prayers for our Vets. And to let you know that in the US there are 22 Vets a day, yes, 22 every day that commit suicide because they can't live with the pain anymore. So for all who know a Vet, let them know they are loved and appreciated. Watch them carefully for the potential of suicide.My heart is so full from this conference, but you now have the idea of how special it was to be a part of this Welcome Home.
