SEND A MESSAGE TO A VETERAN

My grandfather who served in WWI

I wanted to send this message as my grandfather served in WWI, and had shell shock. After fighting it for many years he ended up locked away in a hospital. This was due to ignorance about mental health and the long term affects of trauma and PTSD. I understand that this time can be so difficult particularly with feelings of loneliness and I wanted to say that you are valued we are grateful for all that you’ve done for us. Please don’t loose hope, there is light as well as darkness. Xx
