Coping With Anxiety as a Military Spouse: Triggered by the Invasion of Ukraine

The last couple weeks have been filled with worldwide tension as Russia invaded Ukraine. We have watched in horror and sadness as the Ukrainian people have fled from their homes and been separated from their family, friends, and loved ones, but also united together to protect their homeland. And while our hearts are breaking for the people of Ukraine, many military spouses’ anxieties and worries are running high for their own reasons. Military conflict has a way of stirring up our fears because of the unknowns of what the conflict may mean for our own families. If you are a military spouse and are feeling anxious and triggered by the invasion of Ukraine, that is completely understandable.
