Comments on: A Letter to Injured War Vets (and the people who love them) http://www.whynotrachel.com/2008/12/09/letter-to-injured-war-vets-and-the-people-who-love-them/ How to Live a Limit Free Life Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:01:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: susan kuhn frost http://www.whynotrachel.com/2008/12/09/letter-to-injured-war-vets-and-the-people-who-love-them/#comment-413 susan kuhn frost Wed, 10 Dec 2008 09:54:53 +0000 http://www.whynotrachel.com/?p=339#comment-413 We all try to "restore," rebuild," after a loss, when as you so beautifully put it, that is impossible. I was just writing a list of goals for 2009 and every one started with RE-something, and then I remembered your blog. Thinking about re-storing focuses inevitably on what has been lost, and I had no energy. But after thinking of your blog, I started to recast my goals, and felt far more optimism and energy. My goals got deeper and more meaningful, more personal. I believe that "if we bring forth what is within us, what is within us will save us." Thank you for finding a new way to bring that truth home.

Life will never go back to normal. A new norm is to be defined. The best thing we can do for our wounded warriors is to listen, show our support, help when and where needed, help them heal and give their lives a purpose by helping them meet their goals and realize their dreams.
