Two Brothers, One War: A Story of Loss, Survival, and What Comes After
from Change Happened, Then What? | Real Stories After Life Changes · host Heather Holt
What happens when the person you grew up with… served beside in spirit… doesn’t make it home? In this episode of Change Happened, Then What?, Scott DeLuzio shares the story of serving in Afghanistan at the same time as his younger brother, Steven—both answering the same call to duty, in the same war. But during one mission… everything changed. After learning that his brother had been killed in action, Scott was forced to navigate the unthinkable—continuing to serve in the middle of a war, while his world was breaking apart. What followed wasn’t just grief. It was anger. Survivor’s guilt. PTSD. And the long, complicated road back to himself. This is a story about brotherhood… about sacrifice… and about what it means to keep living when someone you love no longer can. And ultimately… it’s a story about purpose. Today, Scott shares his journey through healing, therapy, and rebuilding a life after loss—along with how he now helps others through his Drive On Podcast and his book Surviving Son. If you’ve ever wondered what happens after everything changes… this conversation will stay with you.
