Thank you for reacting to this video. My husband is a veteran. We’ve been married for 20 years. I thought I knew what this would mean when we married, but there is no way to really understand until you’re in it… This Christmas is one of our worst. We are drowning. Our kids have no presents and we barely have food. I’m desperately trying to keep his head above the water right now. I’m exhausted but I know if I give into that exhaustion for a moment, I will lose him. So I just keep going, hoping we will somehow figure out how to find peace for him again.
Hello,
Let me start by thanking your husband for his service. The family of service members should also be thanked as they also give so much to defend their fellow man and country. Thank you.
I can only imagine the pain, the trauma, and the difficulties that come along with existing after going to war.
I’m sure all that you do for him does not go unnoticed! I’m sure you and your children are helping him stay strong even when life is at its darkest.
I’m sorry to hear the holidays are especially hard for you and your family. I firmly believe vets should be set for life as they gave up theirs for everyone else.
There might be programs created by your local church communities that could help your children receive presents for the Holidays. I’ve participated in these types of programs, and they are worth looking into. Everyone needs a helping hand sometimes!
These times can be stressful, and I hope you have some time to rest! Stay strong!

Thank you for sharing your weight with us, I sincerely hope it has eased the burden, even if just for a moment.
I want to tell you what an amazing woman you are. You’ve been by your husband’s side for 20 years, first not knowing whether he’d be coming home or not and then to be there for him so unwavering. They say a warrior must be made of stone but they often forget his wife is tempered steel.
Tomorrow, the 21st of December, is the winter solstice - the shortest, darkest day of the year. Then the year will be born again, light will start to slowly trickle back. There is a rebirth in sight for you and your family. It might not come tomorrow, but it is coming. I pray it comes as quickly as possible. Until then, keep that steel hard and strong. You can do this!
With love,
Cris
