[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 676188, member: 19617"] Yes Hopeful, emotions will come and go. They are still there. Shedding tears and more tears will happen on occasion. However, I have come to understand that often the tears are not really for my son’s life that I was shedding tears, not so much for “his” loss, but for my own loss, [I]mourning our own losses [/I]with the realization that our own expectations, hopes and dreams for them will likely never be realized. It’s all part of the grieving process and stages to work through. This is a necessary loss to work through. Slow down and breathe. You are alright - hold your detachment boundaries. Just think if you caved, you would only again feel resentment, frustration, helplessness, anger (at yourself? at him?) As you said, you do not want to re-start the cycle. Today (Jan. 1st Happy New Year) is the start of a new time, a new era, a new year / [U]a new day[/U]. ~ [I]Ka la hou.[/I] [/QUOTE]
