[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 168781"] Steely, First of all, you're not a whiny poster. There are no words in our language sufficient to articulate these feelings. And there are no words or answers that will miraculously make it better. I wish it were different. I wish desperately that I had those magic words and could make it all better. I have never lost a loved one so tragically. But, I have experienced the feelings of despair and hopelessness and a meaningless existence. When I was in that very dark, oppressive place nothing was right in my world. And nothing was going to be right in my world. I wasn't in a place where anything could ever seem right. Everything was wrong. Very wrong. You just exist. You go through the motions. You keep telling yourself those cheesy little lines that 'this too shall pass' and 'this is only temporary'. Any little thing that will get you through the next minute, the next hour, the next day. All the while you wonder why you are making such an enormous effort just to get yourself through another miserable, meaningless day. It's not the big things that define a person. It's not the big events that come along a few times in a lifetime that keep us going. It's the little things. Find something that gives you even a second of peace or comfort or joy. And hang onto that. When you think you can't make it another minute, hang onto that brief moment in time where you felt peace or comfort or joy and believe with all your soul that there are more of those and that you *will* experience it again. And it really is the little things. Early in the morning the bunnies come out. There's a big bunny, then a baby or two, then another big bunny. The only noise outside are the birds. It is so peaceful. So tranquil. And it brings me joy and comfort to take pleasure in these little events that go on around me. It seems silly. But in my darkest times, these little things are what kept me going. I wanted to see the bunnies every morning. This past weekend when I was so distraught over my own issues, I kept the LionCam that SRL posted the link to up on a separate tab. I would keep it up for hours and flip back and watch here and there. It brought me peace. It made me smile. ((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) to you, my friend. You are loved. You are cherished.
