Oklahoma is home to many military families, many of which are living with their loved ones deployed. With the current number of soldiers over seas the number of those left behind continues to grow. Those left behind wonder where they can turn for support.
Loved ones who continue to aid the home front are becoming stressed by the situations they are in. Most do not live near any family members, or have someone who could assist them while their soldier is away. The problem is no one knows where they can go or who would be willing to help.
However, there are many organizations on-line as well as counseling groups in Oklahoma. Christian Counseling Associates is an organization in Edmond which was set up to help aid families coping with deployment. Home Front Hearts is an online service that "serves families that serve our country". There are many more sites and locations that are easily and readily available on http://www.samhsa.gov/vets/.
Brandi Buckman, wife of Shawn Buckman Master at Arms E-5, says she would love to find places that would have people able to relate with what she will go through with Shawn's deployment. Buckman said, "although not sure how she will cope...I'm hoping to stay busy." The main thing she looks for until he comes back is friends and family being there for her.
After the trial of being separated the return could be amazing, but for the soldier it could be hard. So what sort of places help with the transition of gone one day here the next syndrome? Christian Counseling Associates can help with that as well.
