Libri GmbH Still Here: Life Unresolved Broché

Still Here: Life Unresolved is a memoir of what happens when a life keeps moving long after the moment it breaks-when the war ends on paper, but the body never gets the message.Told in vivid, scene-driven detail, Andrew Ford traces the path from ordinary beginnings into military service and its long aftermath: relationships that promise stability, family bonds that tighten into pressure, faith that offers structure but not a clean cure, and the relentless effort to build a life that won't collapse under its own weight.This is not a redemption story. It's an honest, unsentimental record of endurance-of living with combat trauma and its "invisible" costs: hypervigilance that follows you into grocery aisles, memory that misfires at the worst moments, nights where silence becomes a threat, and a mind that can't always tell the difference between rest and danger.As the years accumulate, so do the consequences. The book captures the real texture of PTSD, depression, traumatic brain injury (TBI), dissociation, and the way chronic symptoms turn daily life into management: routines, lists, controlled environments, and small sanctuaries built from whatever materials remain. Healing isn't portrayed as a clean arc-because for some people, it isn't.Still Here: Life Unresolved refuses easy explanations. Childhood isn't treated as destiny. Faith isn't treated as a magic solution. The story doesn't offer tidy causes or inspirational certainty-it shows how pressure stacks over time, how systems help and fail, and how a person can keep performing "function" while privately living with constant internal alarms.This book is for readers drawn to contemporary memoir, military and Iraq War personal narratives, and trauma literature that prioritizes lived experience over slogans-readers who want honesty, not comfort; clarity, not clichés; and a narrator who won't pretend resolution is guaranteed.
