Imagine you just figured out that you had someone who was in your family in the military, who died in action or missing. How would you feel? Sad or mad? However, you feel, anyone who loses a loved one, especially in the military, have mixed feelings. Our soldiers have done a great deal for us, such as their sacrifices and their jobs, and what a lasting impact they can have on their families.
Soldiers have sacrificed many components of themselves, such as their lives, time, and life experiences. First of all, they sacrifice their lives. According to Inquirer.net, it states, “Every war has an objective, achieving it would entail sacrifices; it could be a most difficult and painful actionable.” Although this statement is undeniably powerful, …show more content…
First off, I’ll want to point out what they’ve done in the past. Defining the word past in this context means any wars that were before the 21st century. Not to mention, Pearl Harbor was an infamous war. From history.com, it states, “Moreover, the Pearl Harbor assault had left the base’s most vital onshore facilities---oil storage depots, repair shops, shipyards and submarine docks--intact. As a result, the U.S. Navy was able to rebound relatively quickly from the attack.” The historical statement means that during Pearl Harbor, while trouble was going, America pressed on and went to go give Japan what they deserve. With this in mind, soldiers who fought in Pearl Harbor know how hard and gruesome this battle was. By all means, soldiers did courageous and life-threatening things for us in the past.

According to grief.com, it states, “This depressive stage feels as though it will last forever. It’s important to understand that this depression is not a sign of mental illness.” Now, this statement is reassuring those who feel depressed during grief, is completely normal. Many people, unfortunately, have gone this road of ending themselves, but we should help those who feel this way. Personally, when I lost my mom due to cancer, I felt depressed for the first two years of her death, but luckily God gave put the right people in my life to help end this feeling. People who feel this way should seek immediate help and go to God during this time. Secondly, people who deal with grief can have anger. This anger can often lead to thinking about what they “could’ve done” and questions their faith in God. Grief.com talks about what anger is during grief and says, “Anger is a necessary stage of the healing process. Be willing to feel your anger, even though it may seem endless. The more you truly feel it, the more it will begin to dissipate and the more you will heal. There are many other emotions under the anger and you will get to them in time, but anger is the emotion
