A war-wounded person sometimes feels ashamed of their scars. They hide behind masks to appear strong. They fear being judged and showing their true selves: whole, sensitive, generous beings who only want to be loved and to love in return for who they really are. A war-wounded person who doesn’t heal their wounds is a […]
It’s hard for a former war-wounded person to believe in love again.
