How to Survivify: A Long-Distance Relationship: Military Family Edition

All hail the brave men and women in uniform who risk their lives on a daily basis so that the rest of us can do whatever it is that we do.
But the troops are not the only people making sacrifices. Their families feel the absence of their loved ones every minute of every day, and these people are the unsung heroes of military life. While the ribbons and bumper stickers offer genuinely nice and sincere sentiments, military impacted families face huge challenges every day and deserve our respect and thanks.
Share your best tips here for how you're coping, and help out others in the same situation.
