In families where men have stood up for the protection of the country, it is usually women who take care of the family, raise children, take care of older family members, and solve various domestic situations.
But often they do not have experience in how to deal with negative emotions and fatigue and how to support themselves and their loved ones.
Relatives of military personnel live in long separation and are constantly waiting. He can write that he is coming to see you, and within an hour everything changes. It is a constant uncertainty and you cannot make any plans. You can only wait and believe in the best.
The war sharpened the sense of the “here and now” moment and the understanding that “tomorrow” may not be, only increased the value of love and the fear of losing it.
We organize weekly meetings, the purpose of which is to introduce women to each other for mutual support and to provide tools to improve well-being in various emotional states.
At such meetings, you can be yourself, show different emotions and not be afraid of judgment, because all women have similar experiences. And it’s always easier between your own. Here you can speak, or you can be silent. You can stay further, or you can leave when you’ve had enough.
