Some of you may know that my husband is currently away for a month, he has been gone for almost 3 weeks already. The days are very slowly going by but it really seems as though I am not coping with the overwhelming sadness and loneliness that I am feeling. I cry at the drop of a hat and just feel this ever present ache. It doesn't help that I learned that this absence might extend to two months.
My husband does not know how I feel as I do not tell him how dependent I am on him. He knows to a degree but thinks I am handling this all quite cheerfully. But I am not. I just feel overwhelmingly emotional and not quite sure how to handle it. Coming to PC has helped as has the occasional glass of wine - but I don't even want to go there. I wish there was an easier way.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I was away from my husband last summer, and it was very difficult. We were able to web chat occasionally, and that helped. Do you talk very much? Does it help, or just make it worse when you're alone?
I hope he isn't gone for two months. Hugs to you. |

I understand a lot of what you are feeling hon. I was married to a man who lived on the other side of the world and we could only see each other once a year for 4 weeks or so. Gosh it was sooooooooo hard! We used to web chat when we could, but I'm not so sure doing that made things any easier. To see him and not be able to be in his arms was very painful. I did much better just chatting with no web cam. I hope you can find some things to do that are healthy things to help the time go by. Doing special things for yourself is important because you and you feelings matter. I hope he doesn't have to stay longer than originally thought. Take good care! |

Web chatting is not an option though we usually get to speak on the phone at least once a day. Due to the nature of hubby's work, I am unable to phone him or text him when I please. I pretty much have to wait for him to call. And he doesn't always call!! As it is, right now, as I type this, I have my phone next to me and I am just waiting for the call to come!!
Thank you all for being supportive and understanding.

(((Sabrina))) I know that this has been very hard on you. Please let me know if I can help in anyway.
Would working on some sort of project help to take your mind off of the lonliness? Many hugs to you. I hope he doesn't have to stay away longer than was expected.

OMG, am I struggling tonight. I feel such a sense of loss. It is consuming me. I know now that he may be gone for quite some time, we just don't know. And I just don't know how to deal with it. I am hurting so badly. My negative emotions are ruling right now.
Don't know how to cope.

Sabrina I hope you got to talk to your hubby and feel better.
Mine hasn't even left yet (for a month to see troubled family) and the negative thoughts are trying to take over. Any distraction is a relief.

Sabrina, I'm sorry about the struggles occuring right now! Hang in there! I'm sorry I cannot offer more than a consolation or a few words of support, but you're in my thoughts!
I sincerely hope time flys for you. Perhaps do a fun activity that can pass sometime for you? Take care!

Thank you friends. I am grateful to have another weekend gone! Essentially he should only be gone another week but of course we are still waiting to hear if his assignment will get extended or not. So I don't know what to expect at the moment. Tears overwhelm me so suddenly at the oddest of times.

Well, a month has now passed. I have no idea when hubby will be returning. Could be weeks. You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice.
