That doesn’t mean we’re broken.”

Some losses don’t hurt at the time.
They hit years later, when everything finally slows down.

You don’t have to be in crisis to need somewhere safe to put things down.

Working around death teaches you to keep going.
It doesn’t teach you how to stop carrying it.

Quote : “Some people don’t struggle with the job itself —
they struggle with who they became after it.”

If that makes sense to you, you’re not alone.

SPOUSES, PARTNERS & FAMILIES — INFORMATION

When someone serves, the whole family carries it

If you love or live with someone who has served in the Armed Forces or Emergency Services, you will have noticed this:

Some parts of the job don’t switch off.

Exposure to repeated emergencies, loss, and high-pressure decisions can change how a person:
• reacts
• connects
• rests
• and copes with everyday stress or bereavement

Families often experience this as:
• emotional distance
• sudden anger or withdrawal
• difficulty talking about loss
• or feeling like the person they love is no longer quite the same

Operational Loss & Everyday Impact offers a confidential online space where families and partners can:
• understand what service life does to the nervous system
• make sense of what they’re seeing at home
• and learn ways to reduce the ongoing impact on everyday life

You don’t have to explain military or emergency service culture here.
You don’t have to minimise your own experience.
And you don’t have to carry it alone.

Online.
Confidential.
Independent.

Welcome to Operational Loss & Everyday Impact ( Renamed for clarity )

This page exists for people who have served in the Armed Forces, Emergency Services, and their families — and who find that some experiences from service still affect everyday life.

That might show up as:
• certain deaths or incidents staying with you
• personal losses hitting harder than they should
• difficulty switching off from “service mode”
• or feeling like others don’t really understand what you carry

This isn’t about being broken or needing fixing.
It’s about understanding what prolonged exposure to loss, responsibility, and high-pressure work does to the nervous system — and how that can affect life long after the uniform comes off.

We’ve recently renamed this page to better reflect that focus.

Our work is shaped by people with lived experience of military and service life, alongside professional facilitation.
We also moved our monthly sessions online to make them more accessible, more private, and safer for people who prefer anonymity.

If you have suggestions for what you’d like to see here, or what would make this space more useful, you’re welcome to comment or message privately.

Nothing shared here is passed on.

You’re not alone in this — even if it’s felt that way for a long time.
