The concept of delayed grief in the military environment doesn’t mean all Veterans grieve in the same way. But sometimes the unique conflict situation Veterans face and their inability to take time off to grieve the loss of a fellow service member, frequently brings on specific instances of survivor guilt and traumatic grief.
TALK – sometimes an opportunity to express oneself on an emotional level is best. Talk to another Veteran, or find a family member or friend who is able to be present and listen without judgment. Seek immediate assistance during times of crisis.
CONNECT – there are a wide range of programs and resources geared towards Veterans, e.g. the National Veterans Foundation provides crisis services for Vets and their families and maintains a current list of organizations that offer targeted assistance for Veterans. Connect with others and get help on dealing with grief.
ADVOCATE – it can be difficult for fellow Veterans to claim the health and financial benefits due to them for their honorable service. Veterans can help each other by getting involved and advocating in person or online so that all Veterans receive the help they deserve, including help for handling grief.
