Thanks for sharing this. I think the hardest enemy to face is the emotional fatigue that comes from having to work in a situation that is chronic rather than acute - the tendency to burn out that is faced by ER personnel, COIN warriors, aid workers, law enforcement, educators, and many others. The pressures will vary, the dangers as well, but the resulting despair sounds so similar.
So how do we find the right encouragement? How do we train for THAT kind of "emotional fitness?"
