"At home in Northeast Ohio, soldiers' families feel the stress of war in Middle East"
by Brian Albrecht
Katheryn Maguire, Wayne State University assistant professor of communication studies, comments in a story about the stress of war on military families. She says the separation can create a "weird, uncertain" world in which spouses strive to keep their absent partners part of the family, yet also maintain enough of an emotional distance from them so they can do what needs to be done at home. "Life doesn't stop during deployment, so you have to learn to do some independent problem-solving," she says.
