Open Letter to SOF Spouses

Dear SOF Spouse,

You are extraordinary.

You may not wear a uniform, but you serve just as selflessly. You sacrifice your career, your stability, and sometimes even your identity to support your family and the mission. You juggle the roles of parent, partner, friend, and so much more—all while carrying the invisible load of worry and uncertainty.

But let me remind you: your contributions matter.

You are the glue that holds your family together. You are the steady presence your children rely on.

You are the advocate, the cheerleader, and the silent warrior.

It’s okay to feel tired. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. And it’s okay to take time for yourself. You deserve care, love, and recognition—not because of what you do, but because of who you are.

So today, let this letter serve as a reminder: you are seen, you are valued, and you are enough.

With gratitude,

Lotus River Wellness
