My definition

of moral injury is an injury

that you have suffered

because something that happened,

something that you

were a part of has affected,

has gone against

things that you

believe in, your values.

It affects you

in such a challenging way,

such a negative way,

because it is

against your values.

Something happened,

something you were part of,

that has affected, that has

gone against your values.

That to me, my own

definition of moral injury.
