Amy Berry is the spouse of a veteran.

He was and still is honestly the man of her dreams.

18 years after she said, "I do in sickness and health, for better or for worse, till death do us part...." PTSD reared its ugly head.

For three years Amy fought to get her husband, the man she fell in love with back, and sometimes it was very lonely. Amy felt they were abandoned at times, but just when they would be at the brink of giving up, God would send a stranger into their lives to help them.

Because of all the strangers who became angels Amy wants others to know they are not alone.

The mental health system is a nightmare, a beast, and a dragon that will swallow you, but if you have an advocate, mentor, or coach, you can survive it and navigate it.

Is it easy? Hell no, the system will try to break you, but you can do it and you can support your loved one through it, one day at a time, sometimes one second at a time...

There is hope...and Amy's husband, family, and herself are walking, breathing, living proof that you can come out on the other side and when you do, you will be a better, stronger person because of it.
