One can endure almost anything, so long as itisn’t meaningless. By the very nature of our finiteexistence, we are going to suffer. All God’screatures will suffer sickness or injury, andultimately death, but that does not make lifemeaningless. Suffering can be made sacred byidentifying our suffering with the suffering anddeath of Christ, which gives our suffering cosmicsignificance. Another way in which one can makeone’s suffering meaningful is by envisioning it asa trial. It may be a cliché to say that sufferingproduces character, but that doesn’t make it lesstrue. We all must find our own way to make oursuffering meaningful. Sometimes the suffering isjust the tedium of our jobs, and even mind-numbing boredom can be an opportunity to findmeaning via mindfulness. Other times thesuffering is physical pain or discomfort, and thechallenge is to figure out how to view our pain ordiscomfort in such a way that it can be handledwith equanimity. Perhaps the hardest sufferingto endure is mental or emotional suffering.Anxiety and depression can literally be too muchfor many people to endure, and so it is vital toask for help, and sometimes that is the meaningin suffering: that we are finite, limited creatureswho are quite often helpless in the face ofhorrible pain and that we must be ready andwilling to reach out for help.

Veterans NotesBy Greg Remus

Hubbard County Veterans Service Officer

Vet Center information

A few months ago I was at a Veterans Conference and Vice President Biden wasthe keynote speaker.He ad-dressed us regarding his con-cerns about the quality of life of veterans after their injuries. He opened with a startlingstatistic saying one half of all veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan who sus-tained a combat injury would not have come back alive if they sustained that same in-jury in any other previous conflict.Ourmedicalsupportin theater is saving an unprec-edented number of lives. This statement alone makes one re-alize these veterans will need an enormous amount of sup-port for the rest of their lives. One of the potential resid-ual conditions after surviving a life threatening situation is the onset of Post TraumaticStress Disorder (PTSD).Some estimates are stating up to 1/3 of all combat vet-erans will have some level ofPTSD.Thisstatisticisforall veterans who are in com-bat, not only the ones who survive a catastrophic injury. These veterans need counsel-ing immediately and should continue this counseling long term. Early treatment in the form of counseling makes a difference. One resource for veterans diagnosed with PTSDiscounselingfromtheVAVet Centers Program. Ihaveseenfirsthandthesuc-cesses of Vet Center treat-ment. It can change the lives of veterans and their family members absolutely for the better. The goal of the Vet Center program is to provide a broad range of counseling, out-reach, and referral services to eligible veterans in order to help them make a satisfy-ing post-war readjustment to civilian life. Vet Centers are available to any combat vet-eran(ortheirfamilymember)for readjustment counseling. Our closest Vet Center is in Fargo.

I have personally seen the results of this program and wasskepticalatfirstbuthaverealized this program is in my mind one of the best meth-ods, most successful methods of addressing PTSD. If youknow of a veteran who may have PTSD, please let themknow this resource is avail-able, it could make a differ-ence in their and their family members quality of life.
