I need some advice y'all.
I have a friend whose husband just deployed for the first time. She is clearly very depressed. Every day, all day, she posts super depressing statuses on Facebook about how she isn't whole anymore and she can't live her life until he gets back. It's not normal. I want to suggest counseling in a message but I haven't really talked to her for a few months and I don't think if I would be overstepping my boundaries. She has a 3 year old and that is what I am most worried about. WWYD?

Re: I need some advice y'all.
It took me a couple of weeks to get my feet under me when DH last deployed. Can you offer some real tangible help? Have her and her child over for dinner? Babysit the toddler once a week or once a month. Invite her out/over for coffee or to go to the playground with her to chat while her child has fun.
I have a two and a half year old and a DH who will be deploying. One of my concerns is what to do when I have hit a breaking point frustration wise. I hope to find a friend who can be there for me (and me for her) when I'm at my wits end.
Thanks for caring for your friend. When a spouse is deployed, friends who are willing and DO step up become treasured friends.
