You discover what you are made of. You come to realize that you are stronger than you ever dreamed. Your sense of what you are capable of shifts and becomes an “immune system” that allows you to face other challenges in your future more easily.
It is interesting as I have gone on this journey of life after combat in Vietnam that I have discovered something that happened along the way. Yes, people do experience stress during times of extreme events. These events can and often times be things that affect how we respond to people and other events. For me, survivors guilt was a big one , why did this person die and I didn’t. I did not know enough to help this wounded person make it.
