"A Great Will to Live" – Testimony of a Returned Combatant "The days leading up to my arrival at the village were days of great darkness. My memory was terrible, my body refused to rest, flashbacks flooded in without warning, and chronic lack of sleep turned me into a zombie... I felt that something was deeply broken inside, and it was hard for me to even speak." "At the village, I was given a safe and quiet home. The routine restored my balance. In the therapeutic groups, we dared to touch the most complex topics, to talk about our feelings, and to learn to cope with the anger that threatened to erupt. Meeting other combatants in complete anonymity lowered my defenses and showed me that my suffering is human and that I am not alone." "Week after week, the magic of the village worked. Those who arrived broken and detached discovered that something inside them was coming back to life. My energy returned, the dark and suicidal thoughts simply vanished – and only one great desire remained: to live."
