[QUOTE="DDD, post: 507647, member: 35"] I've been blessed so far and have limited exposure to death and dying. What you're feeling, however, I think is quite common for Mothers/Wives/Working Women...especially those with difficult child's. It has been my experience that you just slowly lose parts of yourself as years pass with demands dictating your life and your "wants" getting further and further out of view. Inconsequential activities go on the back burner. Going out to lunch and sitting at the table too long becaue the company is so much fun? It may be possible to meet for lunch...but in the back of your mind you know "I have to pick up X" or "I'll be late for work if I dawdle" or "School's almost out." Just letting yourself go with the flow of fun becomes rare. I'm not sure what I miss most. Spontaneous choices like a TGIF hour...on Thursday, lol? Hours alone reading a good book, sipping hot tea and letting my mind go to a different realm? In retrospect I do wish that I had found a way to keep the parts of me that I miss. Yeah, even a "stupid" jewelry party can be important, lol. Right now you're in a whirlwind but keep seeking the outer edges of the storm and make sure you jump on the chance to just "be you". It's important for your future. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
