In his essay, Charlie writes about that moment after the funeral, when he was in his car talking to Mark, and he finally understood how Eddie had died.
It all came together in my mind suddenly.
No mention of cause of death, no news stories of training accidents, no mention of the end of his life at the eulogy.
The monster that hides in the dark.
The one that you don't mention, lest you summon his attention.
How did that change things for you to understand that Eddie had committed suicide?
In fact, the Navy chaplain had mentioned at the start of the service that Eddie had killed himself.
But Charlie arrived late and missed it.
And Charlie had misunderstood Mark's worry that no one would show up.
Mark told me he was worried about that, but not because Eddie killed himself.
It was more like it all happened so suddenly, and he wasn't sure people would be able to come.
The morning before our interview, Charlie called Eddie's widow to make sure it was okay with her that he talked to me.
And during that conversation, he learned something about Zelma's breakdown in the chapel.
Eddie left the military in twenty twelve, the same year as Charlie.
Charlie says when you go back to civilian life, you get a job, you've got your family and friends, but you miss having a greater mission.
Uh being able to put yourself in their shoes.
I mean ca c can you talk about that?
Are you up for it up for talking about that?
You wanna take a little break?
That's fine.
