Military deployments can necessitate prolonged family separations. The strain of separation is particularly acute for very young children and their parents. Reunions bring joy as well as challenges. The authors draw from their work with military families with young children to explore experiences of separating and reconnecting and the supports that can help families as they reestablish relationships, roles, and routines. The accounts of military families offer a unique lens for examining the impact of family separations. They demonstrate that, even with careful planning and strong supports, the implications of separation are great and the process of reuniting is complex.
