Pilot's wife blues

[Comairwife]

So, yes, I miss him! It's been 2 weeks (this weekend) since I've seen him... and I swear, it's just like when I was a single mom all over again.. except my name changed and now I've got someone to answer to.... ugh! Please don't get me wrong, I love him like crazy, but, it's hard.. you know.. Especially with all my health stuff, I wish he was here... I have cancer scans again next week.. and this week I'm off of all my medicines so I feel terrible.. and nothing would be better than a hug from dh... He's got soo much studying to do now that he's in training that for the past 2 days if we've spoken 10 minutes on the phone it's a miracle... we are officially text a holics... I feel badly he's studying and away from home that I sent him this huge care box yesterday.. it's nice hearing his voice get soo happy with simple things like his fave orange cake I made...

I know.. I know.. I fell in love with a pilot and this comes with the territory... Not to mention he'll prolly be furloughed by the time his IOE is over, but, I guess I'm just being a whiny baby right now in saying that I miss him a lot... You get married thinking that you'll have someone near you.. always able to connect.. and I know this training isn't forever, but, it sure sucks bigtime! Like now, it's 11pm and I miss him and wish I could call him but he's in SIM.

Maybe I'm just being too much of a whiny crabby girl... What do you think?

Nah, not a baby, just perfectly normal. And your health problems on top of his absence surely makes it even harder. You'll get through this time soon enough and it will be a distant memory. Nearly all of us on Jetgirls have been through this time so we all know how you feel.

Stay busy and concentrate on your health.

Hey Helen,

You are certainly not being a baby. Some weeks we are strong, others it seems more difficult. Completely understand.

We are driving back to Pitt tomorrow or Saturday, so we'll be there soon! Can't wait to get together and meet you and your little boy!

Nope, not a baby, just NORMAL. Stay busy. Take care of yourself. He will be home before you know it. Learning those coping skills early will make all the future gone times just routine. Hang in there.

How about some smilies to cheer you up?

Hi there, and agree with what the other ladies have said...and personally, I think if you weren't feeling those things, something is wrong then, i'm kidding, but it is just alright...i've had those highs/lows and really a good cry/a good laugh usually gets me through...stay busy, be strong, and think/talk positive, you'll get through this...

You are definately not a baby!! I have up to 7 days when I am home by myself with our 2 year old and feel the same way. It is hard to be a mom 24/7. Some days are a lot easier that others! We live in the country so there is not a lot of activity here and no neighbors really close.
hang in there!!!

Hey girl! We all have good days and bad ones. Heck, sometimes I have good weeks and bad weeks! Training is stressful not just for your pilot, but also for you. Your health issues are making your situation even harder, and your a mom on top of everything else. You have every right to be missing him and feeling down. Stay strong! We're here for you!

[jr_lenz]

hang in there, and if you do a search you will find that alot of us have struggled just like you are. So you aren't alone. lose yourself in a good book.

ps. hope all of your scans go well, we are somewhat in your same boat. and I it so nerve wracking, waitng for the results. We have to wait for blood results, I swear, someday I will be on the news for breaking and entering, somenight just to get the results!

You have every right to whine. We have all been there and feel your pain. It sucks.

Like someone else mentioned, keep yourself busy. I think that is very imporant.

Best of luck with your health issues. That has to add to your stress as well.
