This may sound dumb, but if your religouse u can always turn to god. I’m not particullarly religouse but praying can really help in times of need. It will feel like u have an edge to protect your brother. Also the death rate has gon down considerably in Iraq. Just pray. Thats all you can do.

Try to look at it as a positive- dont see it that you wont see him again, just look forward to the times you will see him.
Remember that he is doing a good thing by going there.

I know exactly how you feel, my hubby is in he Army and he just got back from Iraq, and the only thing that you can really do is to keep busy to help the time pass, talk to him every time he calls home, and it helps to have friends who can relate to what your going through and how your feeling. Because no matter what a normal civilian cannot understand how hard it is to have a family member over there no matter if its your brother or husband. They just don’t get it even though they say they do. Oh and something that will really make him feel good is if you send care packages! I always sent them to my husband, I would put his favorite foods in there (just make sure they are microwave-able) magazines, candy, pictures, cards, DVDs, if he has a psp or something like that send him games, you know stuff to help him pass the time and it helps them to know that no one forgot about them. As far as the crying and the sadness that just comes with it, that’s why I say keep busy that was the only thing that helped me.

I know how scared you are for your brother, but you’ve got to remember–he’s been trained by the best army in the world and if he wasn’t ready to go they would choose someone else. If the US Army has faith in him you should too. Just keep him in your prayers and keep writing/e-mailing him and sending him care packages. You might want to join some on-line support groups for families of deployed troops. They really do help. My sister STILL swears by them even though she lost her husband three years ago to an IED in Iraq.
Our prayers are with your brother, you and your whole family.
My God bring him home safely and quickly.
And please pass this along to him: Thank you for fighting for our country and the preservation of democracy! God bless you and stay safe!!

It is extremely hard for someone who has never had that happen to them advise you but i think you are doing what any normal human being would be doing in your position. I mean its your brother going to a dangerous country id be upset too but i know its hard but you need to think positive and i know ur probably thinking wtf is this girl saying she wouldnt know what its like but thinking positive is the only thing that is going to put your mind at ease and try to keep yourself busy take up a new sport write him letters let him know how your feeling im sure he would like to know. I am against this war i dont believe in wars its a stupid thing and everyone loses one way or another but ill pray for ur brother and just think positive ok

I think your feelings are totally normal! War sucks, there is no other way to say it. Try and remember that your brother is trained for this, they train day in and day out, so he knows what he is doing and chances are that hes good at what he does.
Im not going to tell you not to worry, because I know you will. Talk to people about him and how proud of him you are, its important to keep him active in your thoughts, dont try and put him out of your mind, maybe you could get into a family support group and then you will know that your feelings are valid and you are not alone. be a support to another person in a similar situation, and that will give you a good feeling in this hard situation.
remember that god is just a prayer away and he listens, he hears our prayers, pray for stength for yourself and your family and a safe return for your brother.
Its people like you and your family who give people like me and my family the freedom to live the life we choose, my kids can go to school and church where we wish because of your brother and people like him! Thank you for that. Remember that gift that he gives, its an important one, and he has an important job to protect us.
I will pray for his safety and for your stength.
