[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 518257, member: 13542"] Oh Sig and Exhausted, my heart just about breaks sometimes on this site at the sheer magnitude of the hurt a mother's heart can actually sustain and then keep on living. Living yes, but with a wound in that very heart which never heals completely and is always raw. I am sorry. I know how you feel. I am thousands of miles away and that string stretched out over the ocean and keeps me awake some nights wondering if my girl is safe. I understand the concept of the illusion of control. I understand the concept of detachment. i get it. I think many of us get it. But, getting it doesn't make the pain go away, not completely, because the losses are so immense, it takes time to trust that whatever happens, it is their fate, their destiny, and nothing we do will prevent it or make it any different. Some days are better then others, at least for me, some days I almost forget it all, and then there are those other days, the ones where that wound really hurts and the salve for it is someone else's kind words who say, 'yes, I know how much you are hurting, I am hurting too, we'll make it through this together.....' I wish you were having us all for dinner too, now that would be some dinner party! Hang in there guys, tomorrow it will feel different..............Big giant hugs coming right at ya! [/QUOTE]
