That was what was so hard....he had endured the worst of the worst while at war but couldn't fight the demons once he got home. Yes, multiple deployments are very common in our military these days. He would get back to the states for 3 or 4 months (getting acclimated to being home) and then off he went to the other side of the world. He said when he got back no one really knows anything about war until you experience it..The only thing that gets me through the day is knowing he is in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ and is finally at peace....I pray every day that I can join him soon.

@sadiesmom Don’t look forward to joining him, you are still here for a reason.
I really hate to see you allowing your grief to control you. There are many things you can do to feel good again, like volunteering at some worthy, local endeavor. I spent time volunteering at a food bank sorting contributions. I had to stop because I was having problems with my knees and it was four hours of standing. When I was single I volunteered at a group home for foster children.
Find something that interests you and lend a hand. You will feel good afterward and may make some new friends. You need to have something to feel good about.
