The "thank God it wasn't my husband" seems to always sneak in no matter how hard we try to push it out. <br /><br />I am sure that most of the wives are thinking about the widow, I'm in a different battalion and I am thinking about her. How much they think about her is probably all over the spectrum. <br /><br />When my good friend's husband was KIL she saw it all, there were the wives who flocked to her offering her any and all the support we could, those who avoided her like the plague thinking it was contagious and then the worst, those who said they would be there but were gone by the time the grass grew over his grave.<br /><br />Allow yourself to feel happy and guilty, there isn't much you can do about either emotion but if you can, reach out to her. Let her know you are thinking about her. I am sure even the smallest gesture would make a difference.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777609339556901804noreply@blogger.com
