Now, reality sinks in as all of my friends' husbands have come home.

CRYING from a knock at the door 😢 Dear Am Yisrael, I am writing to let you in on the inside of our lives - Every day you check the news, Trump, Syria, Egypt… Another reservist was killed. Youch! No one likes that headline. But then you keep reading.  You may not even tell your spouse sitting across the table, at this point in the war. For me, this news wasn't a headline in a newsfeed. It was a knock on my door. I still can't hear a knock at the door. I always jump, and sometimes I even break down crying. I push myself to function and socialize - I don't want to be so pathetic. I need to be strong! But inside is stress, pain, and loneliness. Yoni, I miss you. Our time together was too short.  The children miss you. Now they miss sitting on your lap, but at every stage of their lives, they will miss something else about you. Besides for me, there are 85 war widows from the current war. We are 85 traumatized mothers, dragging ourselves through each day. Without our husbands, we have more responsibilities and less emotional energy. It's not adding up - we need others to take a chunk off our shoulders. Shomrei Yisrael is helping us. They are raising funds for essentials, household help, psychotherapy, and children's support. I can't even tell you which is the most important! DONATE NOW TO LIGHTEN OUR LOAD >>>> Donate Now!
