My fiance got on the plane to Iraq about thirty minutes ago. I'm home alone I have no friends or family to talk to and I'm having a break down. Anyone care to try to cheer me up?

..you'll get him back..and you know it..live your life at this point and prepare for him return..cry it out if you need..it won't hurt..but take this opportunity to do the things you love and explore the things you might love one day..read everything you wanted to read and create foods that you've yearned to taste..embrace your life..don't let the fact that he had to go turn you to hide in your shell..everything will ALWAYS be ok

(((((HUGS))))) 10 yrs ago I watched my husband get on a plane and leave for the army. Now, he never had to go to war or over seas, so I can't say I know personally the stress you are feeling there but I do know (to a extent) what its like to see them leave and knowing you wont see them again for a while. It's very hard. It will be ok. Your fiance is very brave and so are you :)

If you have a twisted and bizarre sense of humor, click on my avatar and look at and/or answer my questions. Or you may look at some of my answers as well. I won't pry but if you want to tell me exactly what you're feeling I'll listen. Sometimes just simply telling someone exactly how you feel sometimes helps ease the pain. I hope this helps. Either way stay strong and good luck! :)

He is 'on a mission' and 'doing his job'....support him and it will help you both..just know you are not alone..many husbands and wives who have done the same.:)..do some charity work, read , etc.......him stressing about you is not what you should want him to be doing....make a life for you and him...its your job..:) pray and get on with it...been there ........its hard, but you can't sit around feeling sorry for yourself.....be strong.....

The statistical likelihood of him being hurt is very slim. There are thousands out there and whilst each single lost life is tragic it's a one in thousands chance your man will be one of the unlucky ones. He's far more likely to have an amazing time helping people and bonding with his fellows (imagine the cameraderie being in an environment like that must bring), than he is to come to any harm. I'm not a cuddly supportive type but cold, hard facts like this are what give me hope when I need it. Don't forget that you see the worst on the news as that's what's newsworthy; the day to day stuff isn't reported on as much.

Get out of your house and go for long drive, go for a walk and write all your feelings for your boyfriend and keep copy with you.and you should not feel down as there are lots of people are lonely and some of people are in the hospital who are unable to eat. at least you have somebody in your life, and last thing is keep in touch with AB for some comfort.

Didn't we talk about this earlier? You need to find some activity in which you can submerge yourself. I highly recommend volunteering to help others.

It seams like you're doing the right thing and reaching out, you'll definitely need to practice your coping skills and it's easier to cope with such things with others help. So it seams you're on the right track. Keep in mind your fiance will also likely be having some worries and anxieties, so thinking of things you can do to help him will in turn possibly help you. I would recommend starting a scrap book or simply writing down your thoughts of him. You can then when you write him, include these thoughts and scraps of your memories collected while he's away. An example of this is if you're reading a magazine and you see an article that reminds you of something you've done together, clip it out and put it in a folder or some kind of place where you can take it out and put it in a letter when you write to him. Little things like that can help you stay connected and maintain a dialogue even though you're apart. Best of luck, I hope this and all the other suggestions help you through your tough times ahead.
