Today's featured video is Gloria Estefan Coming Out of the Dark...which is exactly what healing #PTSD is like. You may be afraid of the changes you went through after surviving but healing does not have to something to be afraid of if you are not alone. Like the lyrics say, "Why be afraid if I'm not alone...life is never easy. The rest is unknown." #BreakTheSilence and #TakeBackYourLife from PTSD

Why be afraid if I'm not alone

Though life is never easy the rest is unknown

Up to now for me it's been hands against stone

Spent each and every moment

Searching for what to believe

Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now

It's shining on me

Coming out of the dark I know the love that saved me

You're sharing with me

Starting again is part of the plan

And I'll be so much stronger holding your hand

Step by step I'll make it through I know I can

It may not make it easier but I have felt you

Near all the way

Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now And it's shining on me (I see the light, I see the light)

See the light (I see the light)

Coming out of the dark I know the love that saved me

You're sharing with me

I stand on the rock of your love

(Forever and ever)

Can't nobody stop me from watching

(Forever, and ever) I stand on the rock of your love

Love is all it takes, no matter what we face

coming out of the dark

I see the light, I feel love shinning on me (shining, shining)

Shining on me

Coming out of the dark I know the love that saved me

You're sharing, you're sharing with me, sharing with me, sharing with me

Coming out of the dark

Making it into the light

Your love shining on me, shining on me, shining on me

Coming out of the dark

I see the light, I see the light (I see the light)

Shining, shining, shining on me

(Shining, shining)

Coming out of the dark

I see the light now

Yes I see the light (shining, shining)

I used this song back in 2006 when I started doing videos for veterans.

Why be afraid if you're not alone? Life is never easy, the rest is unknown. The song is by Gloria Estefan and the first time I heard it, all I could think about were the Vietnam veterans I spent so much time with including my husband. You are not alone fighting to heal PTSD just as you were not alone during combat.
