[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 697669, member: 19887"] RN, I'm so sorry you are feeling sad ... It is so so painful when we have a child who struggles with addiction. I know your pain, I feel it many days. I equate it with waves of the ocean. I heard someone describe grief this way and it makes perfect sense. It starts out huge waves, they crash onto you and you can't see anything and you can't breathe the pain is so bad, but then the wave breaks and you catch your breath... Then another one comes, and another. Eventually they space further apart, and they get smaller. BUT they still come... And sometimes they are big waves again, and we can't breathe again. We feel like we are drowning... Take solace in the fact that this wave will break again, and give you some relief. They may never go away, but they do have breaks where you can breathe again, and maybe even feel some joy or happiness... Maybe... I send you some good vibes today, and pray for your wave to break and give you some time to regroup. Know that you are cared for and thought of.... Hugs [/QUOTE]
