In reply to The War - coping strategies, posted by photojenny on March 23, 2003, at 12:32:46
I'm guessing that it is a relatively individual thing. I have more anxiety when I have less information, and less anxiety (tho a significant amount of sorrow) when I have more information.
No matter what though, it is unsettling, and unsettling is never good for me.
I guess the thing that is most comforting to me is sharing my sorrow and fears. I was at church today, and you would have never been able to tell whether anyone in particular was opposed to the war or backed the US administration. We were united in praying for the safety of American soldier and Iraqi citizen alike. We were praying for a swift end to the war with minimal pain to everyone involved. And that, I found comforting.
But that was what *I* found comforting. Someone else might find something else works better for them.
