Produktbeschreibung

Healing from war's devastating effects isn't easy--but it is possible. For every wounded warrior, there is a wounded home--a family and community impacted by their loved one's war experiences. Service members returning from combat deployment all bring war home with them. And when a combat veteran struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or traumatic brain injury (TBI), every family member experiences the effects--confusion, hurt, anger, guilt, fatigue, and fear. Wounded Warrior, Wounded Home offers a hope-filled way forward, giving hurting families a look inside the minds and hearts of combat veterans and guiding them to develop their own plan for physical, emotional, and spiritual wholeness. "No family, not even a military one, is ever prepared for the holes that war and conflict punch out of our loved ones. This is a must-read for anyone living with or loving individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury."--Lee Woodruff, bestselling coauthor, In an Instant; co-founder of the Bob Woodruff Foundation; contributing editor to CBS This Morning "A story of courage and hope and healing. Essential reading for all who love and are connected to the life and service of a combat veteran. For your sake, for your loved one's sake, get this book."--Dr. Richard J. Foster, author, Celebration of Discipline and Sanctuary of the Soul; founder of Renovaré Ministries International "Knowledge, insight, support, and guidance to ease the adjustment experienced by all in the wake of combat. Carter and Orr provide a resource that brings hope and healing to those who love, work, and live with our returning service members."--Roger Staubach, Hall of Fame Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Naval Academy graduate, and Vietnam veteran Marshéle Carter is the coauthor of When War Comes Home and the author of Hope for the Home Front.
