Have any of you ever thought of how many parents send their kids off to college each year. All the worries that a parent feels when their high school graduate leaves the nest to go off to State College or State U.
Well if you think it's stressful to see your baby go off to college, then can you imagine what it is like to see your child go off to War!!!
I was contacted yesterday by a military wife and mother who is going through her 4th deployment. She has been separated 3 times with her husband and has already had 1 other with her son going to Iraq. God bless you!
She writes a blog that was a finalist for Military.com's best mil-blogs of the year and is a great resource for Parents going through the struggles of a Military Separation. Click here when you have a chance ParentsZone.org
She also asked if my book had a section for Parents. I gladly informed her that my Surviving Military Separation title was not only for spouses and children, but for any family member that is going through a deployment separation.
Here is a quote from an Army SGT on this topic:
** “This book is not just for spouses. Girlfriends, boyfriends, cousins, aunts, uncles, ext. can benefit from this activity book”. SGT Arthur HowardUS ArmyVeteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom
Parents, we know you need help too. Hopefully these two resources can help you THRIVE during your separation.
Good luck!!!
