PTS and laughing  spotted this article on how one woman beats back her PTS ....and thought...laughing is always good, maybe there's a hint here for someone to help beat off the worry blues.

Our Battalion posted alot of pictures of their Seabee Birthday Celebrations and just spent time looking at all of them.  It's just nice to see them smile and enjoying a celebration together.  It cheered me up to see all of them.  We have alot of strong men and women.  God Bless them All and it was just so nice to see our Military take time to let them have a picnic.  They are an example to us of making the best of it and so should we.  What an inspiration.

I'm on here this morning after a night of tossing and turning and dreaming of my son all night.  The good thing was that I was dreaming about the "after" deployment so that was good but when I wake up from tossing and turning all night he is a constant on my mind.  He told me not to worry if I don't hear from him for a couple months because he didn't know if he'd have ability wherever he goes but with this new event I'm glad he said that but I don't feel good.  I feel selfish for asking God to let me just hear his voice or just a one sentence on fb or anything.  If it comes good.  If not...no news is good news is how I will look at it.  At least I'm not the only one on here already this morning.  Off to work now.  I had to stop in and say good morning moms and like others, would rather hear news here than at work.  Even my co-workers have said they have heard about everything on the news and can't quit thinking about my son and all of them so many thoughts are with all of our children today.  God cover them with your protection and help them be more than conquerors today.  Amen

TDM...Once again, you have found the "right" words.  There IS a life after...and it can be a good one.  Also, some of the changes you see may be very positive.  A lot of "growing up" is done over there...That crazy kid you had may suddenly start talking about the world situation, and no matter what his opinions are, you can see that he has given everything much serious thought, and his ideas really make sense. 

At times like now, the sayings "One day at a time", "Left foot, right foot", Let go and let God", and "No news is GOOD news" are especially important.  They will get you through the day...or even the hour.  When nothing seems calming, come here and talk about it...There is another Mom (or many other Moms) sitting in front of her computer feeling the same way.  It is strange how it works, but every time I've come here for comfort, it seems to comfort someone else.  (Of course, it also works the other way, when I reach out to another Mom, I find comfort for myself.)

I can't think of words of comfort for you all. War is horrific and this is a worse night mare. I feel guilty, my son is here in my home, came to work in the yard with me over spring break. Today, I enrolled a young Marine (or ex Marine, out 1 month, just like my son) in our weight room program at work. Both of them sporting beards and swearing to never shave again. Tomorrow night my son will visit with a young Marine (also now an "ex"Marine) who visited with us a couple of years ago when he was home on R&R when he was injured in Afghanistan. He's 100% well, going to college here in Austin. They all look great, well  built young men, smart, and focused on working hard in college. I can't tell you that what is inside is as well as the outside but they are here, and safe.  

 We all have to know and believe that this will happen to each of you as well, there will be an after deployment for your kids, and for you. You have to focus on that, the end of their deployments, and they will come home.

Just remember you are not the only one praying for your kids. This nation is waking up to the right thing to do about this war, and it will be over. You are not alone.

There would never be a right time for this to happen.  Its something that we would never dream would happen.

I appreciate you setting that up because to tell the truth it's kinda overwhelming all the news in all the different places so it's easier for me to come here and read it too then I don't feel so all over the place.  You amaze me.

I set up the RSS from http://www.icasualties.org , they have the latest news and info, as well as casualty information than any other site I've read over the last few years.

I just heard about all this by getting an email from my church today saying they heard the morning news and started praying for our soldiers today.    I just sat down this minute reading emails and realized more going on over there. Above this comment wall is a section called RSS.  It seems to have most recent news and I'm glad it's there because I'm starting to check it but what does RSS stand for?  I'm just going to keep praying for all our men and women and that God would help their minds and that our leaders would come up with a plan of action to help prevent sending anyone with PTSD back over.  I feel awful for his parents also.  God Bless everyone. Sorry for all that this kind of news hit.

Susan, you worded it perfectly. Only military families will feel sympathy for this man and his family, but we know he was driven to the edge, and then went over. I wonder how many deployments this man has been ordered on...Innocent women and children in 3 homes died. And yes, his family at home will not have their son come home again.
