This is an IHeart podcast.

Welcome to the fifth thing.

It's the Q&A segment of my Four Things podcast.

I'm Amy Brown.

And I've been going through some of the questions that you've sent me.

And I really appreciate that y'all take the time to email and talk about the show and what you like, what you don't like, what you'd like to hear.

And you also ask me questions. So this is where I will address them. The email address is Four Things with Amy

Brown at gmail.com in case you're new and you're like, oh, what is this email thing? And I can just

send her questions. And I really, some of them, I really just don't have the answers to. I am coming

to you as like your friend.

I try to seek advice from others. I try to tell you what I know and what I do and what works for me.

But at the end of the day, some of the questions I'm getting, I'm like, well, this is like

definitely for like a medical expert. So until I can either find the right person to bring on

to address the question or like I can ask them and then

relay it to you. I'm just kind of have some questions that I have on the back burner that are like

waiting. So if you don't hear your question, hopefully it'll get addressed one day.

This first question is from Anna, and she's looking for advice. Hey, Amy, my husband is

active duty Air Force, and we found out only a few weeks ago that he's getting deployed.

We've been through a deployment before, but last time I was able to live with my family,

and this time we're at a new base where I will

be all alone with just my dog to keep me company. I know you've said in the past that you've been

in the same situation. I was wondering how does one cope with loneliness during this time?
