"The life of a soldier with PTSD is a lingering existence in the shadows. If he tries to be happy he just can't quite get there, forget ever being excited about anything. A good cry won't do him any good because in sadness is now a normal way to live. He is there but he is not. A personality he has no more." M. Beatty
"Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live." -Robert Kennedy
"The only way out of the hole is to climb. PTSD is like standing in that hole waiting to be buried." M. Beatty
"A sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker, than a germ." -John Steinbeck
"There are prescriptions for most maladies and disease. The only things that can heal a soul is a big heart and healthy mind. But by the time most souls are dying, the heart has been broken and the mind has been lost." M. Beatty
