[QUOTE="Jena, post: 399600, member: 4514"] I think gvcmom and sharon hit the nail on the head. it's a grieving process like anything else with stages.... you first are in denial, than you learn acceptance, than you grieve the loss of the life you thought you would have to be open to the life you do have and than you get active and reactive. its soo hard, it is. i remember years ago when i first got my difficult child's diagnosis there were so many i was just shocked in awe functioning was hard. it's years later do i still struggle yup you bet i do, and coming here is HuGE and helps. there is power and calm in numbers and in getting you arent' alone, in seeing how others do things and get by. i read this great quote one day it was about raising a special needs kid. they said you get on a plane to take a flight to let's say california, suddenly the plane changes routes and destinations, you are unaware of this. you get off the plane to find your in a strange country do not speak the language are overwhelmed and confused. you take your time, you learn the language you speak to the locals and those to teach you, and suddenly you wake up one day and look around and realize it may not be california you were hoping for yet this strange land you have now adapted to the language has it's own special and unique beauty. i have no clue if that helps....... lol yet i'll tell you i think of that on days like today for myself where i wanna run outta my house and rip my hair out or maybe just go have a margarita :) hang in there it sounds like you have things working out for you in all areas your concerned about your easy child also which is huge. ((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
