I’m part of several military spouse groups, as many of you probably are. While I don’t always engage, I’ve learned a bit from watching the interactions members have with each other.
There’s one question I see over and over again that I almost always chime in on, not because I think I know better than someone else, but because I believe it’s a shame that these services aren’t promoted, few know they exist, and therefore service members and their families suffer.

As someone who has always had some sort of seasonal depression in the darker months, even before my diagnosis of Postpartum Depression after each daughter, February has always been one of my least favorite months.
This year, it’s month four of a deployment that will be somewhere between eight and 12 months long (it’s still anybody’s guess), and the end of my homebody tendencies because travel season starts back up for my job.

Trigger warning: This post discusses infant loss. I don't know what it is, but I have a really big issue with lying—at least when the lies, great or small, come from me. It's hard for me to "fib" to my daughter about why she can't have a piece of Mama's fancy...
I’ve recently lived (barely) through some intense, life-altering, earth-shattering events. Specifics are best kept for another time, when I’ve had proper sleep, time to comprehend, digest, and process all the things, and there are so many things.
From start ’til now, it’s been a grueling, frustrating, heart-wrenching (and many more “..ings”) 10 months. And while I can see the end will eventually come, no one involved can name a date. So here I am, month 10 of this “event” in my life, and I feel as if I’ve found a specific theme park called “Emotional Rollercoaster City.”
