The Three Commodities of Life After Loss: Rebuilding Through Time, Knowledge, and Financial Wisdom

Abstract


In the wake of loss—whether due to trauma, death, or professional disruption—individuals in military medicine must find pathways to personal and operational recovery. This article presents a novel resilience framework centered on three foundational commodities: time, knowledge, and financial wisdom. Drawing from clinical leadership, combat medical practice, and personal survival, this piece proposes actionable strategies and includes the emerging role of artificial intelligence (AI) in restoring clarity, reducing burden, and enhancing decision-making post-crisis.
