I want to put this out there for all my fiends to have a look at. I read it a few weeks ago and have since gave some close friends copies and recommended it to many more. I think anyone with PTSD, anyone married to a soldier with PTSD or taking care of people with PTSD and those just wanting a better understanding, this is one of the best books I have read in a long time. No techno talk, no medical lingo, just a story of a soldier named Billy Reardon who in the story served with 2 RCR. The second part of the book looks at the medical system within the military and VA and how to make improvements. Give it a read. (FB post by Derrick Nearing, Retired Medic, CAF).

I also read this little book. It is a great read for anyone suffering from or close to someone with PTSD. It should be required reading for everyone connected with VAC and the military medical system. 5 Stars.

All these years with feelings and behaviour I did not understand. I just wanted to be a “good man”.

Murray: Thank you for your comment. It is wonderful for me to hear that the book has helped you make sense of some things and to just put them down. Wish you all the best, John. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
