From widow to warrior -- What is a warrior? -- Death notification -- His buried trauma -- Darkness to light -- Suicidal ideation -- Meditation and mindfulness -- Breath: the body's natural stress reliever -- Learn to pause: mindfulness training -- Pause15 meditation."First responders have the incredibly difficult job of running toward danger while the rest of us run away.
