Final Wave- Part 1

Each trauma, is a wave that knocks the veteran off balance. It is the accumulation of waves of trauma, stressors  that causes the most damage not one single large wave

The veteran finally succumbs to the pain, the attacks, the traumas

Surrender the Pain

Its not until the veteran surrenders the pain can healing begin. The red sun is the pain, the trauma always present

Transform

Healing has begun and a transformation into a new person. The pain is ever present but now hope is also present in the light in the corner. The waves are still present because life has challenges, stressors and trauma that is a constant. Whether we fight it or accept its presence will impact if this transformation is possible
