Quynn Elizabeth, daughter of a two-time Viet Nam veteran, writes to veterans and their loved ones. Drawing on her own life experience with her father, who lived with classic PTSD symptoms since 1967, yet only when his life fell apart did he accept that he had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, 30 years after his experience in Viet Nam. “Accepting the Ashes” shares stories and expands on ten issues to remember after a veteran returns from battle. She also discusses five things to think about as one begins to heal.

I am a Vietnam veteran disabled from the war. I have P.T.S.D. as well as many other vets. Many don't understand what is going on inside our minds and dreams every night. You wrote such eloquent words and in such a loving way, thank you.

I feel I know you already. My husband has been diagnosed with severe PTSD, which explains his behavior for such a long time. He is so depressed and he isolates himself from the family as much as he can. He always says when he is drunk, “How can you love me? I am just a killer”. I have to keep reminding him who he was before he went to war..... Peace to you. Your dad and you have all my honor. Karen W
Your story reached into my heart. My husband is in Iraq right now with the Army National Guard. We've been apart 2 years out of 3. The stress is much more than I ever thought possible. Thank you for sharing your story,
A “waiting wife”
