This is good for anyone hoping to understand the complexities of POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. There is a lot of explanation of what it is and what is being done for it in the medical world as well as on the military medical level. It is plainly stated and well organized. I especially liked chapter four with explanations of cultural and religious differences in the world that affect the treatment of PTSD. end of review
I want to share a quote from this book that I found interesting. It is about the book of JOB in the OLD TESTAMENT. page 67 "The book of Job, then, is not an effort to explain why humans suffer, but instead to suggest how to behave in suffering, that is by accepting that sometimes tragedies occur for no particular reason, and that rather than blame ourselves or God, we should stay connected to God in our search for comfort." I've been taught that this lifetime is a test to see if we will be obedient and/or not forget God while we are here. It has always been difficult to understand Job's trials. The current trials of this world are also hard to put in perspective and make any sense out of. Maybe this sentence can help a little.

Thanks, Rosalie, Job's lesson is one of the biggest lessons we could ever learn.
Being tested makes me think of Mother. She said, "We've been put here to learn lessons and we will remain here until we learn all of them, the last one I have to learn is patience........Diane, I may never die!!!!!"
P. S. I love your rainy little bird.
This picture is perfect. Its melancholy, but hopeful. Love.
