Until you have walked in my shoes, how very, very true this must be very those who have lost spouses in military conflicts. Thankfully, most of us will never have to tell our children that their Mom or Dad is not coming home again. Most of us will never understand what these families experience and the challenges before them. We cannot understand their feeling of loss, desperation, hopelessness and not belonging.

All of sudden, these families have no connection to the military which has been their life for who knows how long.

• What can they do?
• Who can they turn to?
• Where can they go?

The answer is:

The Camp LeJeune Spouse Support Group. This group was formed in April 2006 and meets weekly to offer the support, direction and "listening" these families so desperately need. Any one who lost an active Marine or Sailor since 10/2001 is welcome to join.
