[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 637370, member: 13542"] SweetMama, I think every single mother on this forum can relate to your post. I don't believe it's "crying without provocation" though, the provocation is something that is always right there, just awaiting our present recognition of what is. Here are my two cents. This path is filled with sorrow and grief. It is a sadness that unless you are on this path with your own precious child, you wouldn't have a clue what this feels like. This grief is total and feels unending, however, it does cease in its intensity. I see it now as a well of sorrow that needs to be expressed, it comes out in spells, sometimes with a vengeance, sometimes it leaks out in small increments, but giving it it's expression, allowing it to surface and letting it out, lessens it and over time, it is there, but it is faraway, put in some secret place within where it resides but is not prominent. I have cried truckloads of tears over my daughter. And the single most important thing I have learned is to let it out, to allow the feelings, and to do that until they are completely expressed. Once that is accomplished, as remarkable as it may sound, they recede in to the background of our lives and we can once again be present for our own lives, our own joys and our own passions. Crying is cleansing, normal and around here we have plenty of reasons to cry...........allow yourself to feel what you feel. In the long run, that is what will free you from the grips of the deep sorrows we feel here. Sending hugs and warm wishes for a more peaceful day today. [/QUOTE]
