Well on Thanksgiving day my husband suprised me by comming home!! He is a soilder in the war in Iraq. We haven't been together in a year. A week into our 3 week honeymoon he says I have to go to Iraq in 5 days. I cried so much when he left. I mean he sent these video diaries and he sent letters. I did the same, but it was like he was on another planet. We got these letters and tapes of recently happened things but it still felt like no matter how many letters or tapes you send, you still feel seperated. Anyway I was so happy to see him it was just a suprise! I cried and I kissed him and it was soo suprising. We went out for a Thanksgiving dinner that night and had a great time. But the dinner didn't even compare to the sex we had later on that night. The next morning I woke up and he left a note that said I love you. I will be back sooner than you think. I put on a robe and I ran outside to kiss him goodbye.

Then on Mon. I get this call on my cell from Iraq. I thought it was from Matt (husband). But it was from his Capitian Leader person from his sector. He said that Matt had encountered a land mine. Also that he was in criticle condition and was unstable. Then he said he has a small percent of living! I froze and then I screamed and then I started to cry. I mean he was here healthy and happy on Thursday. Then the man said I am sorry, but we are doing all we can. Then he hung up. I am so worried right now I don't know what to do! I could lose my husband. I have only been married for a year and for him to die. this can not be happeneing. Advice!!! How can I stop thinking about all this. It is driving me mad. I am allready worrried enough about him being in Iraq in the war. Any ideas on how I can relax?

I'm not a religious person but i will pray for your husband to make a full recovery. Have you talked to his parents and do they even know about their son. I can't even pretend to know what you most be going through. My only son is 27 and if anything ever happened to him i don't know what i would do.
It would be nice for you and your husband if you conceived on Thanksgiving night, being pregnant would get you through this and all the lonely nights.
I wish you all the best and for your husband to come home healthy and very soon.

You poor thing.
Can't the army get you over there to see him?
Surely they've medivac'd him out to Germany or somewhere by now.
Make some calls, ring the papers, tv anyone - get something happening and get there to be with him.
Hope you're both ok after this, hang in there

I am so sorry. I don't know if you believe in God, all I can say is pray for your peace, strength, sanity, and to leave all of this in God's hands. God Bless, this is a very very difficult time for you, sending prayers..........call family and friends immediately to be with you right now.

I think you find a support group for military wives. Find hobbies to do to occupy your mind. Talk to a therapist or minister. Best wishes.
