Here We Go Again

Tomorrow is July 4th, the one day of the year that sets me on edge. This will the first July 4th after my wife has passed, not sure how I’m gonna get through this. Usually, I go out of town and find some place remote and quiet with other veterans who also cannot stand July 4th. This year, I’ve got our three dogs to take care of and though they’re good with fireworks, I’m not. I am really frightened that I will have a severe anxiety and panic attack with no one around. Does anybody have a good way to deal with fireworks?
