Aim To explore the perspective of veterans with moral injury on how spiritual care contributes to their well-being. Methodology Twelve Dutch post-active veterans were followed during a trajectory in which they had one-on-one conversations with a military chaplain, using a longitudinal qualitative approach. Findings Veterans experience conversations with a chaplain as an opportunity to explore ongoing moral and spiritual struggles. Without being asked about it, they pointed out how, in their perspective, chaplains’ approach of moral injury, and guilt feelings in particular, differs from the approach by mental health professionals. This allows for reflection on the relation between spiritual well-being and mental well-being in the context of moral injury.
