The Coffin

This is my coffin—a journal where the struggles of coming home from war have been laid to rest. I’m a United States Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician (EOD). And this is my story. After a diagnosis of PTSD from three combat tours in Iraq and at the heels of a mild traumatic brain injury, this is my attempt to heal. To heal and help others understand the process of coming home from war and the aftermath that comes from getting the poison out.
