This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 173 sitting here with Echo Charles.

We have received questions from you, the troopers, and we are going to provide, attempt to provide, in some cases answers, in some cases guidance, in some cases assessments to help you move forward.

First question.

Dear Jocco, my daughter died of SIDS a year ago.

I found her in the crib and despite doing CPR with paramedics,

we couldn't save her.

She was only three months old.

Since then, my wife and I have felt emotionally dead.

I'm in the Utah Army National Guard, and my A&G family showed incredible support, something I'll never forget.

Last month, I received a hardship discharge. I wasn't ready to leave,

but my readiness and seal assured me I can return when the time is right. In the meantime,

my wife and I have grown distant. I lost my job, and now she says she doesn't want a romantic relationship anymore. I feel adrift.

I want to return to the guard.

I'm only 30 and still have more to give, but I'm torn, not wanting to leave my family behind.

Therapy alone isn't enough anymore.

I need action, but I'm stuck.
