Tag Archives: coping techniques I write about suicide this month because of the timing of National Suicide Prevention Week earlier this month and the Army’s expanded observance throughout September. Knowing that preventing suicides is a growing challenge in the military as well as the military family (read: spouses), I was watching the offerings of training and dialogue closely. In… July 28th, 2006 I got the call that my husband was severely injured by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). He was six weeks from coming home after being stop-lossed for his second deployment to Iraq. We spent 20 months rehabilitating and medically boarding at Walter Reed. It was a roller coaster for a very long…  I’ve been learning a lot about myself over the last few months. I have found out how strong I am. I have been finding out who my real friends are in life. I’ve found that I can do ANYTHING I set my mind to. There’s still a lot about myself that I need to work… I love it and you! During our deployment this last year, I called it our year of perspective. We got rid of a ton of negativity too and never looked back. When you are going through something so stressful, you have to stay positive and focused! |

A tough subject. Well written Star.
Thanks Paula. Too many never heard that they are not alone and still do not hear it.
Very true…
Very well written, had me in tears a couple times. A hard subject to talk about but a very important one.
Sorry to make you cry Jane. But you’re right: a hard, but very important, subject.
