"War doesn’t end when the fighting stops. For many veterans, it continues inside—manifesting as post-traumatic stress anger, confusion, and a deep sense of disconnection. The key to healing is not to suppress or ignore these feelings, but to face them with awareness and courage. Only then can we can begin to make peace with our unpeacefulness."
