WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT
"Preparing to discharge was nerve-wracking. I wanted to return to my home and everyday life, but I was terrified, not knowing how I would be able to function or what I would do. The days would be long, floating in a limbo-like abyss as I worked on more patience and mending. Going home presented another layer of reality, commencing to live life marred, altered, and reconstructed, never to be the person I was before we sped away from the house 45 days ago--the person I had been for the past 43 years."
