[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 76505, member: 1721"] Did you go through a time Janet, when the kids were in trouble and then, gone from the home (a treatment center or some such)? I think that is the key to the irrational, unexplainable kind of grief I felt. (And still feel ~ but now I know where my boy is ~ my son took him.) Crazy, huh? But I am functional again. No more depression. No more private grieving. I know where he is. I know I cannot help or change or even, reach him where he is. But I am also no longer at the mercy of my-son-in-the-world-today. And I can view myself with compassion for the horrible pain of my loss instead of condemning myself for everything that is lost. Barbara [/QUOTE]
