Question
First off, my fiance and I are both in the military. I am stationed overseas and shes in the states. I recently recieved the horrible news that she had been drugged and raped. Ive read that it is important for a lover to be there for the victim to comfort them and let them know that they are still loved. But my dilema is, obviously, that im thousands of miles away. I really need to know the best way that i can help her without actually being there.

Answer
Dear Cory,

Psychologically speaking, in my understanding, unless  she  gets  help from a psychologist who  is  a firm believer in God thinks may not turn well.

You  may help  her through e-mails  by encouraging her  to  pray and also  showing  her  love offering courage and positive approaches.But  any help  from you  will have  limited effect  because you are away

I pray for you


Have a nice day
