Hello to all MBers
Thought H may not want to have me email him but others wives of his team say they have not had any contact either. None of us seem to have he usual contact details that we can use to send messages. I know it's only a few days but thought we should have something by now. I wonder if they have gone on immediate operations? Can't help worrying about it.
well deep breath, count to 10 and control fears.
The contract for sale of the house is signed, the agent is now looking for a new home for us. I will not have any regrets leaving this place. Kids seem excited to be having a 'new' home.
Our rental home is vacant so we can move into that for a few months if we have to. Quicker we are out of here the better.
Otherwise all is ok. Glad I'm no longer working now, want and need to put all my energy into the family and M. The only thing is, there doesn't seem to be a lot around to help someone who wants to save the M where they are the WS.
I need a plan just as effective as the A & B plans for BS. Someway, somehow to show my H that I have changed from the person who existed a year ago. It is so hard to come to terms with being that ugly soul sick woman living two separate lives. I guess it must of been a sort of illness. Doesn't excuse one ounce of pain snd hurt I gave to my H and OM's Wife, but perhaps explains the drivers.
I wish I knew he was ok, thats all I need to know.
CL

CL -
I'm feeling so much pain for you right now. I did not read your thread before I updated my thread and didn't realize your H was gone. My heart goes out to you.
I know you need to be surrounded by people that love you right now.
I had a prayer that I used when my H was deployed. I would walk outside and look up at the sky...mostly at night but sometimes during the day. I would hold my chest and feel my heart beating and pray that his heart was beating somewhere. At that point I just wanted to know that he had a pulse. I would look up and speak to God out loud. After praying I would just whisper I Love You to my husband. I can't tell you how that helped me. I know it just sounds silly but it helped me a great deal.
I assume since this unit is deployable you have a family support group. I hope you stay in close contact with them. Other spouses can be a God Send in times like these.
We had no contact either. My H kept a diary for me and my girls while he was gone. The girls and I kept a picture journal. We wrote to him daily even though he would never receive the letters while he was in the theater of operation. It just gave the kids something to look forward to.
I'm not sure if this would work for your family but it helped mine.
Sending you my prayers and lots of hugs.

Well Believer I wish I could say recovering was a work in progress, not sure I can do that yet, but I am hopeful.
HW thankyou so much for your words. I do a similar thing with the kids but we sit around the dinner table, our daughter always sets a place for him, as if he will come in the door at any time. Seems to help us all.
Still no word from him or for any of the other wives. All of us very nervous right now. Just nerves & worry I suppose.
Had a VERY good offer on the house & will make decision today or tomorrow. I would liike to talk to my H about it just to be sure he is happy with this.
Oh well another day of hurry up and wait I guess.

There has been no word from our Husbands, we are starting to worry. Why won't he at least send a message to the kids so we know he is ok?
Feeling so low and worthless I wish I could just make it all go away.
I have to make a decision on the offer for house tomorrow. Is it all ending? I wish I new he was ok.
