[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 713200, member: 19522"] Feeling, what is, is. Your circumstances are very difficult and you are you. We all have to feel and process at our own pace and time. When the time comes, you will find your peace, I am sure of it. It does not sound stupid, Feeling, we all hang on to remnants of the past, no matter how big or small, as reminders of our loved ones. Horrible things have been happening to good people since time immemorial. When we were kids, and said "But it's not fair!" My dad would always reply "Who said life was fair?" I am finding that life is a series of challenges, ups and downs. It is up to us to make the best of whatever comes our way. It takes time, for sure, to recover from loss and find joy. I don't think you are disillusioned at all. You have accomplished so much against incredible odds. I don't think that ache will ever go away. I feel the same way about my two, my grands. There is always a part of me that is lamenting what is. When it is overwhelming, I let myself have a good cry, then pray for them to find their potential. Right now, my house is full again. I have my grands for the summer. It is a tough situation and I heard the most heart wrenching stories from them which I will post about. My main priority is my son, to help him achieve his goals and to provide a peaceable, stable home. But to hear the sufferings of my grands is unbearable. Oh, the what ifs's.......you are not alone in this Feeling. But I do think that you are not recognizing that you are also a pillar of strength, and an example of perseverance for your two sons. I am so glad for this Feeling. I would imagine that him seeing that you are working hard at surviving, trying to help yourself, helps him to climb up! You know, I feel the same way about my grands, my two daughters. The difference being that they were not incapacitated with mental illness, the caveat being that with addiction, the brain does not function well at all. Sigh. So many years volunteering and coaching kids. My own, I cannot reach. I marvel at you Feeling, so much strength! Keep pushing dear friend! I gave my Slim Glider to my granddaughter.
