This episode is about different kinds of silences.

Many traumatized veterans don’t know how to talk about their experiences, especially with people who haven’t been at war. My guest, Seattle novelist Shawn Wong, helps veterans turn their experiences into stories. When it’s your story, you get to control what it means. For example, he tells the story of a soldier who was too wounded to be at his dying father’s bedside. That fact had held the soldier captive; but in writing about it, facts become healing truths.

Meanwhile, Wong struggles to understand the silences in his own life, including the early death of both his parents and his wife.
