Comments for Widow Of A United States Army Soldier: Page 1

moongrim, I think your comment alone has helped out more than the military has, thank you, I will take your advice and go to the place you mentioned.

yes stephyw2001, we were married. 16 dec 2008, the family never aproved of me, nor there grandchild/nephew. So anything outside of the military you will see no mention of us.

Well Mrs. Campbell I appreciate the sacrifice you and yours have had for our country and his willingness.

But it's NOT a good idea for you to self identify, because of all of the predators out there who will take advantage of you if and when they can.

As far as matters supernatural- there's not much the Army or any other branch of the armed forces can give you, information wise, that they can give. To paraphrase a common military saying- "If the (BRANCH) wanted you to have/know about Ghosts, the (BRANCH) would've issued you one".

As a military vet myself- you're not crazy. You're seeing your husband and his friends- helping keep an eye on you and your son. As to the one who freaked you out- it may very well be one of the other soldiers who died, it could very well be a predator ghostie. One that's been attracted to you in hour of need.

Cold Iron works well in keeping malevolent spirits at bay, but it won't interfere with a spirit who is there to protect you.

Now as an ex-D.A.V. Commander, I advise you to talk to your local surviving spouse representative to insure that you and your son get everything you two deserve...

And send an email to the Your Ghost Stories administrator- you should have them edit out your personal info here.

If you are who you say you are, then the truth will out-regardless.

That's really sad, sorry for your loss.

And I agree, that sounds absolutely terrifying. Any time an apparition appears it's one of the scariest things. Maybe the spirit in your house wasn't your husband after all.

I actually feel pretty weird talking about it since it was so recent, I don't want to say anything that could hurt you in any way, you know? I know I would be extremely sensitive about it. It's important that his memory is there, even if what you saw wasn't your husband. That can be enough of a "spirit" in and of itself.
Take care.

I am looking up SPC Joshua R. Campbell, but it doesn't list a wife or children anywhere. They always list wife and children first. It said ashes were given to the brothers to scatter. Were you two legally married?

God bless you Camswidow. I was also an army spouse (though mine ended in divorce, not KIA). It is hard enough being an army wife, I can't imagine how hard it is being an army widow. (I am empathetic so I physically ache when I have to lower the flag for any of our boys) 😢

I made such great friends when I was with my ex-husband in South Korea. Even he is still a friend to this day. We were like a family, and I think those ties will always live on. My father's air force friends and him still catch up!

That being said, I don't think its crazy for you to think you saw his friend who was/is deployed too. I do have to ask, do you think you saw a ghost? I was a little confused because you said the door swung open, so I wasn't sure if it was a real person or a ghost that you thought you saw. What happened after you had eye contact? Did he speak? Did he disappear? Did he leave?

The Army is crap for family matters. They do only what they need to retain "good" PR (at least in my experience). I hope you can find somewhere else to help you in your difficult time. I am so sorry for your and your son's loss. I am glad you feel consoled by the ghostly mischeif, but I do hope your husband isn't stuck somewhere he doesn't want to be. I hope that he's peaceful, happy, and just checking up on you until you're both ready for the next step. ❤
