Current situation

[Guest guest]

I too have been sickened by what has happened, and I am trying to

keep calm about the future possibilities. DH is on a ship in Turkey

at the moment, bound for Oman - he's scared stiff too but says not to

worry. How can I not worry? I feel physically sick and cannot eat

anything, but am trying to carry on as normal for DS's sake. I keep

crying over the stupidest things and I'm worried that the depression

I had just recovered from will take over again - I'm determined to

stay in control, but it's hard. PIL's are on holiday in Canada to

make matters worse, due home on Monday but who knows when they will

be able to get home. I miss them so much, it would be good to talk

to another older person about all this, my Mum is very reassuring and

calm, but I miss my FIL's advice and comforting presence, and they

must be worried about DH too. Support from friends is invaluable at

this time, my best friend is E-Mailing me 2 times a day, bless her!

Looking forward to Christmas when DH is due home for 3 months leave,

let's hope things will settle down quickly and nothing too hasty

happens.

Hugs to all, lets help each other and stick together through this.

{{HUGS}} to you and to everyone who's loved ones are not with them at this

difficult time or who may be involved in any action that follows.

Like Kerry I'm praying non religious prayers and will try to remember to

observe the silence at 11 pm. (we decided 11 am was impossible since we were

in a church hall full of wild toddlers)

Just so glad DH was not in Washington or any where else in the states since

he always seems to spend half his visits on internal flights.
