Chances are that if your loved one has seen war, he or she has Post-traumatic Stress Disorder at some level, and you who love your veteran will also be deeply and profoundly affected. Finally, the cries and needs of the loved ones have been addressed in this comprehensive, practical book, now newly updated in its 2nd Edition! Love Our Vets answers more than 60 heartfelt questions, providing down-to-earth wisdom and much-needed tips for taking care of yourself.

Sharing as a counselor and from her personal experience of living with a 100% disabled veteran with PTSD, Welby O'Brien gives hope, encouragement, and practical help for families and loved ones who are caught in the wake of the trauma. This book addresses a broad spectrum of issues and concerns and offers realistic wisdom from a wide variety of individuals who share from real hearts and lives. Now newly revised and updated with additional material, the 2nd Edition of Love Our Vets continues to be enthusiastically welcomed by VA and other counselors. This is not just another book about PTSD; rather, it is a tremendous resource for families and loved ones who struggle heroically along with their vets to face the day-to-day challenges.

Review

“Wow, where have you been?! A lot of the PTSD books and information do a good job of addressing the vet, but the spouse (a key figure in recovery), at least mine, feels a little left out―in the dark, so to speak. Thank you!
-Dr. Bob Lantrip, pointman outpost leader, Semper Fi

“Couldn't put this book down! Powerful. Loved the humor too. What a read! We finally have a book that deals with the reality, courage, faith and real hope for loved ones of PTSD survivors.”
-Linda White, wife of a Vietnam Veteran

“For those of us under the stress of being caregiver to a loved one who suffers from PTSD, Welby provides a priceless resource of strength. This insightful book offers a place to start rebuilding a spiritual foundation for our own strength and healing, and a better relationship with our PTSD loved one.” - Cheryl, Mother of Afghanistan Veteran “I’ve picked up countless books about PTSD, thumbed through them, and thrown them down. I’m so glad to know there are REAL PEOPLE, going through some REALITY out there and I’m not alone. And there is real help and real advice. Thank you!”
-Irene, loved one of PTSD Veteran

“This is an amazing resource for military spouses! A lot of time the focus is on the Vet, and sometimes the caretakers and loved ones get pushed under the rug. This book is for them, for us. Great stories to help you know that you are not alone, and resources we could all use!"
-Hayley Kolb

“I think it’s the best book I have ever read! I am very impressed!”
-Rebecca McCoy
