I Am Not Alone
It seems I am not alone with my current struggle of adjusting
after a PCS. The writers of several military wife blogs I follow have been
voicing the difficulties they have encountered as a result of their recent
moves. One of them is dealing with the adjustment to civilian life as her
husband leaves the service. Another is struggling to reach out to her new community because of past hurt. Still another is simply
not content with the area in which has been selected for her and her husband to
live. I myself am missing the sense of
belonging and coherence I felt while living at our last duty station.
Still, each day gets a little better. I find myself willingly accepting this aspect of my family’s life more each day. I remind myself that I must endure hardship in order to become stronger. I try to focus on the things which bring me comfort, like playing silly games at the table after dinner or taking family trips to the local fall events on Saturdays.
