Karen B. Dudman replied to Amanda Lynn Higgins's discussion Can Military Mothers miss their son's or daughter's as much as Military Spouses? I mean is it the same heartache?"Great question! Not so simple answer. I am a military mom, as we speak I am awaiting the goodbye call as my son begins his second deployment. Absolutely the toughest thing I ever have to do.....keeping the pain and sadness out of my voice, staying…"

I mean is it the same heartache?"Sweetheart, you will only understand when you have your own son or daughter. A marriage is a very special bond, a deep love between two people. But this child that you brought into this world is forever tethered to your heart and…"

I mean is it the same heartache?Lisa Hernandez replied to Amanda Lynn Higgins's discussion Can Military Mothers miss their son's or daughter's as much as Military Spouses? I mean is it the same heartache?"Yes, you can miss them just as much, just not in the same way. You love him as a spouse...they love him as a son. There is absolutely no comparison. You will understand this better when you have children. To the logical mind,…"
Debra Renschen replied to Amanda Lynn Higgins's discussion Can Military Mothers miss their son's or daughter's as much as Military Spouses? I mean is it the same heartache?"I don't think it's the same kind of missing. A mother loves her son but a wife has a different kind of love. You and your mother-in-law need to get on the same page, it's a give and take situation. You need to…"
Marti Knoll replied to Amanda Lynn Higgins's discussion Can Military Mothers miss their son's or daughter's as much as Military Spouses? I mean is it the same heartache?"As a military mom, I can honestly say we always miss our children, no matter how old or far away they are! I too am very lucky that my daughter in law and I communicated almost daily while my son was deployed. We were missing the same…"
Nancy Rooney replied to Amanda Lynn Higgins's discussion Can Military Mothers miss their son's or daughter's as much as Military Spouses? I mean is it the same heartache?"As the mother of two sons in the military, I think I can respond with a mother's point of view. Can she miss her son as much as you.... darn right she can, but as Lori Bell said, in a much different way. I know that when I had my children, I…"
Shannon Looper replied to Amanda Lynn Higgins's discussion Can Military Mothers miss their son's or daughter's as much as Military Spouses? I mean is it the same heartache?"I agree with Lori, it is completely different. Neither is more or less painful than the other persons feelings. You need to sit down and talk to her because as a Mom myself with a son who is engaged, I recognize that his fiance is…"
Megan Glynn replied to Amanda Lynn Higgins's discussion Can Military Mothers miss their son's or daughter's as much as Military Spouses? I mean is it the same heartache?"I am very fortunate to have a mother-in-law that is very laid back and understands the day-t0-day difficulties we experience when my husband is deployed. So, it is very rare (if ever) that I feel she is trying to prove that she loves or misses…"
Lori Bell replied to Amanda Lynn Higgins's discussion Can Military Mothers miss their son's or daughter's as much as Military Spouses?

Moms are moms no matter how old the kids are and if this is the first time for her son to be gone, it really hurts. However you're…"

The day I met my husband was the best day ever. I told myself I was going to marry that man. And I did. I said "YES" the day he asked me, it was the happiest day of my life.
