i can tell already that its going to be a hard week. I need hugs and kisses from my sailor and I can't get them cause he is months away from giving them to me. I can't tell him what is going on cause he will worry big times about me and I can't have him doing that cause he has a job to do on the ship. I just want to cry and cry.

Help!

hang in there:hugs it will be okay , if you ever need to talk you know where to find me:) here is some good news, next week will mark the half way point just about, stay positive girl, everything will be okay, i definitly understand, i miss dh sooooooooooooo much , just stay positive and everything will be okay:)

You're doing good, at least it's months and not years! Write him letters (and send or burn them, lol). In fact, I have a journal that helped me SO much when DH was gone. When you get hopeless, get a spiral notebook and write EVERYTHING down. Write about how much you love and miss him, how bad things have been and how you didn't want to tell him. I have pages upon pages telling DH how we ran out of things to talk about so many times because I didn't want to tell him how bad it really was without him. Keep all of the letters in one notebook, and if you send them to him rip them out, but be completely honest and as thorough as you can make it. Tell him every.little.tiny.thing that happens, like the little crap you would tell him at the end of the day that you can't. And even if you tell him over the phone, write it down so you both remember. It helps SO much more than you think when you go, "Oh DB would LOVE that" and you go write it down for him - in a way it's almost like you're talking to him. Then when he gets home, offer it to him to read. DH won't touch mine because it's 100% raw emotion, lol.
