After the Silence
On April 1, 2008, I experienced cardiac arrest while serving at Langley Air Force Base. I remember what I describe as a near-death experience. For about twelve years, I shared it with a small circle of family and friends but avoided speaking publicly. I feared stigma more than I feared dying again. This essay describes that silence, my adjustment to medical retirement, and why I support Camaraderie Foundation's work with service members, veterans, and their families.
In the Air Force, I knew how to talk about an assignment, a deadline, or an injury. What I remembered from my cardiac arrest was harder to explain. I worried about who might overhear me and whether the conversation would change how my colleagues saw me.
