Does deployment ever get easier?

Question

The little one and I miss our soldier so much. Will it get easier?

Answer 1

I am a Soldier getting ready for round two in the dessert, and my Wife says it does not get easier for her.  She works full time and keeps busy with the family readiness group but other then that she says she is lonely when I am not there.  

If you ever feel really depressed though remember you can call army one source or find them on the web.  

Keep in contact with your spouse and remember time always moves forward so he will be home soon.

Answer 2

hm

i don't know about deployment

but just being away from them...no

my fiance is in new york

and I'm not

its not easy but after awhile the feeling of missing someone becomes numb

its just more of knowing their gone, knowing you want them their, but the feeling the loneliness...it becomes numb

Answer 3

i'm a military child so i think i might be able to answer this, in a small way. for my parents, knowing that the other one was there for each other no matter what was comforting. i think that's what got them through. my dad has been in the navy for 30 years. i have no idea how many months of my life he was gone for (many birthdays, that's for sure), but in my experience, it gets easier over time. over time is not a few years, but a while. but i also think that separation makes you stronger and also makes it easier the second time around. i hope this helped.

Answer 4

That all depends on you. As a married soldier myself (SPC deployed to afghanistan) I miss my wife everyday. She misses me alot to. Shes pregnant right now and i will tell u, the hardest thing ive ever had to do was leave her. In my opinion No a deployment does not get easier. You will get used to it, but it will always be hard and there is nothing you can do but wait, hope, and love your husband. If you love him and you 2 keep in contact, that will help you through it. Its helping me.

Answer 5

Give time to do its magic.  You will find other routine things to do.

I think there should be associations for the women, you might get guidance and help from them.

good luck

Answer 6

i wish that i could tell you absolutely yes,,but i can't it's, not a cut and dry answer..some days it seems as though it is,but then some days it seems harder then anything imaginable... and honestly,,the hardest days for me were the last few weeks before he was to come home,,it felt like those were the worst and like they took forever...but you can do things to make it more bearable, get yourself busy in alot of activities,,maybe join some military spouses groups,,it is alot better when you can talk to other people who are going thru or who have gone thru it before. also,,,make sure that you keep the letters,e-mails,pics and anything else that you are sending to him going because as hard as it is for you and the little one,can you imagine how hard it is on him...keeping contact will make you all feel alot closer....good luck and god bless.....
