[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 237450, member: 2459"] Linda, I can't even begin to imagine everything you are dealing with and going through right now. But, I am amazed at the clarity and logic you are thinking with. Yes, you may disagree with the clarity part but you ARE. As for the Tweedles, maybe this will act as a turning point in their interactions and relationship in that they are in the same boat so to speak and realize they need to support each other. While they have different experiences and memories of their dad because of their individual living situations, he was still Dad to both and it sounds like they get that. (if that makes any sense) Personally, I think the grief workshop is a wonderful idea. As many great people as it sounds like they have on each of their teams, no one truly knows what they have gone through or are going through. But at a grief workshop, there are people who KNOW, who can say "Yeah, I stood beside my Dad's bed in the hospital too." I don't know what they have in your area but I know here, there is a place that is for kids dealing with grief. It doesn't even have to be a parent or family member that's passed, it could have been anyone the child knew. I believe it was started by a family who had a child die and wanted something to help their other kids. As for the docs....they sound wonderful but doctors don't know everything. Listen to your mommy heart. If you think Kt and Wm should do this together then do it. It's not like you're going to throw them in a room together and leave....I'm sure you and the team will have a plan. But I agree, it sounds like this could really do them some good. Just please take the time to do things for yourself also. If you need to go to grief counseling, do it. Even if you think there isn't the time for it because of the kids....there is. From what you've posted about the Tweedle's teams in the past, I'm positive they would completely understand if you needed a little more support now and then for you to be able to take care of your own emotional needs. You're no good to them if you are in need also. Friend, you may not think you're in your right mind at the moment but to me, it sounds like you're at least on the right track. HUGS. [/QUOTE]
