[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 619365, member: 17461"] Echo...I have been in that same place, lately. There are no birthdays to celebrate, here. For me (and maybe for you, too?) I think this is a place we get to in our own process. The birthday is a marker, a reminder, a true thing to hang the feelings on...but the feelings were the truth beneath whatever we told ourselves to cope with the horror of what is happening, all along. I think this might be what it feels like to come out of denial. You are letting yourself know the truth of the situation for today. This is the truth Echo, [U]for today.[/U] This is not the truth for forever. Nothing is constant, nothing is forever. Even the bad things change. I am right there with you in spirit, Echolette. Another human, going through that process of admitting that it is just what it looks like. There is a shocky quality to this kind of seeing, isn't there. See me, pulling my wagon up beside Recovering's? And COM? And Lucy and oh, all of us, Echolette? We are here. Companions on the journey. Cedar [/QUOTE]
