“The idea behind moral injury is that a key part of trauma is the experience of being haunted either by the sense that you failed morally or that your moral structures have failed you.
This second meaning -- the iead that your moral structures have failed you -- applies to any kind of traumatic experience. In fact, this is a central part of trauma's wound. Think of it this way: Regardless of your spiritual life and beliefs, all of us have a set of assumptions about the way the world works. These assumptions stretch from the mundane to the meaningful, and they help us order and navigate the world so that it feels less chaotic. They are part of our map of the world.”
