The Cost of War
An article written by Amy Blumenshine appears in the current issue of Caring Connections. Amy states that moral injury brings a rupture of relationships in all that matters (community, loved ones, God) along with a numbing and estrangement from one's own soul. The article, "Our Militarized Society's Cry for Help: Part 2, looks at veterans' emotional struggles with the impact of moral injury on their lives after returning from conflict zones.
(Part 1 of this article, published in the prior edition of Caring Connections, addressed the problem of suicide among military veterans.)
Caring Connections is a inter-Lutheran journal for practitioners and teachers of pastoral care and counseling published by Lutheran Services in America.
Amy, MSW and Lutheran Diaconal Minister, is a member of OSLC. She convenes the Coming Home Collaborative.
