Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I can imagine the anguish of watching your child walk away towards the uncertainty of life in the military. With love and grace, this mother has gathered her insight to share with other mothers. The what-if’s and the how-to’s are covered, along with her own story of her childrens’ varied military careers. Recommended for mothers of military children. ( )Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This book gave great insight into the difficulties and joys a military mother experiences. A good read for any military family member or friend. I did at times lose track of which child was in which branch of service. Although I don't think that mattered as much as what happened and how the mom(s) got through. Great book filled with many chapters full of coping mechanisms for the parent whose child has decided to join the military. This book is written by a mother who has children serving in all four branches of the U.S. military. Elaine Lowry Brye's words are so wise and relatable from letting go TO what to expect next TO confronting the ultimate sacrifice. Keep the tissues handy when reading this enlightening book. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. The synopsis of this book sounded a lot more interesting than it actually was. I just couldn't get into it. I didn't think it was particularly well-written either - it kind of jumps around, and the author repeats information several times. I plan to pass it on to a military mom; maybe she can appreciate it more. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I was really excited to recieve this book and I tried really hard to read it several times. It just didn't appeal to me. When I requested it, I expected a book that anyone could relate to, but you really need to be an army mom to get into it. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
When you enlist in the United States military, you don't just sign yourself up for years of duty-you also commit your loved ones to a life of service all their own. No one knows this better than Elaine Brye, an army brat turned military wife turned military mom of four officers, each serving in a different branch of the military: Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy. Brye's father and mother met while both serving in the US Army, and her childhood was that of a typical army brat, with frequent moves-some to faraway countries-dinner-table conversations full of military lingo, an ever-present anxiety during her father's deployments to Vietnam and elsewhere, and family vacations to national monuments and battlefields. In 1976-the first year women were accepted in the service academies and ROTC-Brye herself enlisted in the Air Force, where she would later meet her husband, an Air Force pilot. Now Elaine Brye is a mom to four military officers, and for more than a decade she's endured countless teary goodbyes, sparse communication from boot camps and training summers, deployments, emotional airport reunions, empty chairs at Thanksgiving dinners, and sleepless hours waiting for phone calls in the night. She's navigated the complicated tangle of emotions-pride, worry, fear, hope, and deep, enduring love-that accompanies life as a military mom. In Be Safe, Love Mom Brye reflects on her family's military service and offers a lifetime's worth of insight, comfort, wisdom, and a bit of humor to fellow military moms who are navigating the unpredictable life that accompanies having a child-or children-in uniform. In intimate and instructive essays-on topics ranging from that first goodbye on induction day to the comforting power of the military community, from the healing power of faith to coping with the enormous sacrifice military life requires-Brye braids together her own personal experiences with those of fellow parents she's met along the way, offering gentle guidance and hard-earned wisdom to those new to the sisterhood of military moms. In this one mom doing her best to hold down the home front, readers will find a wise and endearing friend to guide them through the unpredictable life of having a child in uniform, all the while reminding us that within each military mom's personal story lies universal experiences of courage, loss, loneliness, faith, pride, and ultimately, a parent's unconditional love.
