My husband was deployed to Iraq for 15 months, it was hard to see him go and work everyday no day off/ worked more than 12 hours a day.

What I can tell you is you have to be patient, try to think positive, and stay faithful to your love one. Separation sometimes can drive you insane but you have to be strong. If you have a job then that should help a bit but I didn't have a job at the time, so I tried to stay busy by doing yard work, crafting and some other things. My husband called me everyday eve tho he was extremely tired, I would always tell him that I love him and waiting for him patiently and don't be worried about me.

Sometimes next year he will be deployed again........

I wish you the very best!

Darn, I thought 13 months was bad! I'm guessing he is Army?

I'v learnt a few things about myself durong this deployment though, so it's not all awful!

You will get through this, believe me. And if it ever gets unbearable, I'm here on VJ to keep you above the water!
