“How Do We Repair the Souls of Those Returning from Iraq?”

\”How Do We Repair the Souls Of Those Who Come Back from Iraq?\”

by Rita Nakashima Brock and Gabriella Lettini, truth Commission on Conscience in War organizers

“The hidden wounds of war do not heal when left unattended; instead, they may fester for years in depression, homelessness, addiction, and a half-lived existence finished by suicide, which doesn’t end the suffering for those who knew and loved the one who died. Unattended, moral injury will linger for generations. Understanding moral injury is a necessary first step in a much longer societal healing process. We should begin that process today.”
