Dealing With The VA
is a pain in the butt! We've been trying to get Husband's rating for PTSD raised to 70% and get 100% total disability. However, it's been an impossible task. We have friends who have less severe PTSD who are rated higher than Husband. It is quite frustrating. However, persistence and documentation is key. We'll keep submitting the paperwork until we get an answer we're hoping for. We just might make a call to the senator soon as well. I'm praying something goes through soon. Husband can't go back to work and he can't stay home with the kids. And it's important to both of us that the kids not be in daycare right now. I do have faith something will come through soon!

About this blog
Living with someone dealing with PTSD is not easy. It's a life filled with hurt, frustration, uncertainty, and the feeling of failure. But it's not impossible. I don't believe PTSD has to rule someone's life. I believe with the Grace of God, one can learn to conquer their fears and anger. It doesn't mean they will be completely "cured" (though I do believe God can completely heal), but it does mean that with the support of those closest to them, a good amount of therapy, and heaping amount of grace, a person can live a happy and fulfilled life. PTSD does not have to destroy families, it can bring them together and bind hearts together forever.
