[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 619352, member: 17542"] Of course you feel like this right now, Echo. Birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, it brings to mind and heart what isn't. And it's so painful and I believe it always will be painful. But maybe not AS painful as the months and years roll on. You are such a true voice on this site. You are really doing so well in your detachment. I believe what you are feeling today is completely normal and part of the up and down and all around cycle of suffering, denial, pain, grief...detachment...joy, hope, love that we all feel. Just for today, be kinder to yourself. Give yourself some breaks. Do some nice, nurturing things just for you. Feel your feelings. As much and as long as you need to. Write things down that come to your mind and heart. Write them here or elsewhere. This day is going to pass and you are going to feel better. You are doing the hard, hard work of change, and it's tough sledding, I like to say. We are here for you. Many hugs and blessings to you on this day. And a happy birthday to your precious son and let's hope he is doing exactly as he chooses for himself today. And then we can let go again, maybe. [/QUOTE]
