Just try to remember that these people cannot relate to your experience, but they are trying, as best they can, to connect with you and show their love & support. They are trying to comfort you. Most people have never served, so they may be very bad at it. Just remember their intentions.<br /><br />When I train new advisors, I tell them that when they have a bad day, pick-up the phone and call their favorite client. The one who always makes them smile & laugh. Don't complain, gripe, or talk business, just visit about nothing. I have such a client in San Diego and she never fails to get me smiling & laughing. Try it. I bet visiting with one of your friends about nothing would temporarily help unwind the stress.<br /><br />Know you are loved very much and your family will help in any way possible, even if you just need to call & vent on us about all the people who are making you mad!<br /><br />See you in a few weeks.Leehttp://www.strongheritage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678857827037725020.post-70953985575373337072011-06-08T15:01:00.512-07:002011-06-08T15:01:00.512-07:00You commented on my Positive post and I went to re...You commented on my Positive post and I went to respond back to you via e-mail but you don't have it set up so..

I posted ...Oh that kind of thing makes me SO mad!!! I posted on FB last time The Hubble was deployed that I was missing him a lot at that moment. My "friend" called to "support" me. She actually told me that I should be happy The Hubble wasn't around because men make messes. Then she went on to complain about her husband. Really???? I know they mean well...but you are right. They shouldn't speak.<br /><br />Even if someone HAS been through or is going through a deployment, they should just hug and walk away. Or just be there. People stick their feet in their mouths too often. And EVERY deployment is different. <br /><br />Love this post! Well said!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105496356213075925noreply@blogger.com
