I am not smart.
In fact, I'm really, really stupid. 
Reading this article on war widows after a friend's husband's recent close call and following the story from my previous post simply is. not. smart.
In fact, it's a sure way to land me on the floor after midnight with my head on the 60 pound dog's bed, his head curled into the back of my neck and a paw thrown over my shoulder to comfort me as I cried. (This very same dog is very territorial and not too keen on others in his space, but he didn't have a bit of a problem sharing his bed with me for a few minutes. I think I love him a little more right now.)
I mean, seriously. I'm not smart at all.
I'm willing the phone to ring, but he probably thinks I'm asleep.

You're doing fine. It's normal to read about the other side of the picture. I still read blogs of current active duty families and look forward to hearing about the happy reunions. Allow yourself to feel the emotions of possible loss, but then shake it off and move forward as positive as possible. There's an end to the deployment eventually. Focus on that...and the honey-do list you'll have waiting for him.

Wow. Jennifer's comment left me speechless.
Big hugs honey... Sounds like she offered you wonderful advice.

I did that once. I read the blog of someone who had lost their significant other in Iraq (I don't know they were married). I cried ALL NIGHT LONG. Even remembering I can't sit still in my chair, and my eyes water. I have to hold it together I am in a public library at Fort Huachuca.
I remember not sleeping at all, having Adam call me and forbid me to read anymore blogs of that nature. I haven't since. Good Luck-- Hang in there!

I end up watching Taking Chance every single time DH leaves and cry for hours afterward. I have no idea why.
So. You're not alone in stuff like this.
