I have suffered so much stress, worry, and fear, when my son was in Iraq. My worst nightmare, was he would be killed (pretty natural). My nightmare came half true, when i got a call, to say he was involved in an ambush on his convoy, and fellow squaddies were maimed. My son took shrapnell in his eye, eight bullets in his vehicle (he was driving) and was breaking down, but he was ALIVE. He returned home, now suffering ptsd, serious mental trauma, saw his colleagues shot up. I have been told today, one of my best friends, from years gone by, has had her son killed in Iraq. I feel devastated, i cannot pull myself together, new year or not, i am so gutted. Please help! Is this a normal reaction, or just she has realised my worst nightmare, and i cannot comprehend her pain?
