Is there any news about Mari333 and Michael? |
|
Did he get his x-rays taken and get his deferment? Is she doing okay?
I keep checking DU for her name, but I haven't seen anything.

He ultimately made the decision to go back, out of fear ..I begged him to see a counselor or get an X ray..he was so screwed up when he got home he didnt know what he was thinking or doing..he only had 2 weeks..his email reflects that the death of his dad is JUST starting to hit him now...I told him to contact a chaplain and get some help...I did what I could..I couldnt make him stay ... -------------------------------------------- hey
i just want you to know that i made it as far as kuwait for now. i will be spending the night here, so it is one less day i have to spend at the shithole prison. it was a long series of flights, and i haven't slept yet. every time i lay down i think about home, and my dad. i think it is sunday, but i am not sure.
i regret not seeing a therapist. i am going nuts right now trying not to lose it in public. i suppose everything will settle in the place it should be in, but i feel worse than i did when i first came here. even worse than i did at fort dix. i will try as hard as i can to plead a case over here, but if i can't get results, i will try to have fun, and keep out of danger. remember, it's almost october, so time is running out. if i don't come back in november, then i definately will be back soon. only a matter of time.
i love u mike
------------------------------------------------------------- edit to add: I am doing grief work...some days Im angry, some days I just sit for hours and cry, some days I watch the dogs, some days I fall apart ..its a long process...death of a spouse takes 2-10 years...approx 1 year to get on ones feet again..Ive been a widow before, so I know the process..thank you for asking..Ill survive, but the grief takes a long time to get thru...right now Im just trying to get thru one day at a time.

5. Call if you need to Marie |

Will check with you later. Marie. Try not and watch any tv, please. We have talked about this and I think you are holding up pretty good. Of course I can't imagine and how is Bobby? We will continue praying for Michael and you and Bobby. Hadn't talked to you in a week. Glad to see you are making it one day at a time.
