My husband is in the Army and his 2nd deployment is quickly approaching. I was wondering what othe military spouses or family members do to cope with deployment & stress?

My son-in-law is on his 4th deployment, but at least this time it wasn't to Iraq. My daughter is coping with this deployment like she has with all the others, she stays busy with friends and hobbies, and she goes to visit family. She is in Texas this month, waiting for her new apartment to be available April 1st. The one thing that made this deployment harder over the others......she found out 3 days before he deployed that she is expecting their first child. But she now has that to keep her busy as well, getting the nursery ready, doctors appointments, etc. She also stays in touch with him as often as he can, and she has posted pics on myspace and facebook so that he can see the ultrasounds. Stay busy and time will pass quicker than you think, and he'll be back home safely.
