father's day 2005 I woke up on my dead husband. He had over dosed. I feel a lot of blame as I was leaving him at the moment. And part of what he OD'ed on were my pills that I left with in reach. I see his face every day. we were together for 10 years. My inlaws took custody of the kids a year earlier so I basically lost my intire family....I was 27.

Take a look at "Riverman" profile on this site and see what he wants to do to help those suffering from PTSD. I am a Blue Star mom and have spent considerable time as a Red Cross Volunteer at the VA hospital. I was tapped out to go to "China Beach" during Vietnam with Red Cross but stayed states side. Riverman is a Trained EMT...and wants to work with returning Vets in a rehab program. So, how can we help?

I feel you man. It is hard to talk to family and friends because they don't hear you, they just listen because they think that that's all you need is someone to vent to. I found the biggest thing that has helped me is to talk to someone that will interject and open dialouge. I held a dead 9 year old in my hands who had just drowned. Half way through the call I realized that we were just working her to ease the family and provide them with closure. It was a tough one. A well seasoned medic approached me after the call with 3 straws and said draw one. Long story short they were all short straws and the lesson was that sometimes man, you get the short straw no matter what you do, did, or could have done. But if you need someone to actullay listen to ya, hit me up. Oh and by the way thank you for serving our wonderful country.

I recently got out of the military and have I similar situation. Its hard to deal with having someone die right in front of you. I always think about if I could have done anything differently...and how that might have changed things.
