[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 625570, member: 17269"] Child, I think dealing with these holidays and our difficult child's is like dealing with death. The first holiday "without" or in whatever situation we are in with our difficult child's, is awful and then...it becomes the new norm. We don't forget them, and we may grieve a bit...but it is OK. My mom was wonderful with transitions. We face them all the time, whether we have difficult child's or not. Kids grow up, move abroad, die, get married, forget...and we get used to the changes, as moms must. This is just another of those transitions. One of the four sufferings in buddhism...you must accept that we are of a type to change. You must accept that you will lose those you love. You must accept that you will grow old. You must accept that you will die. Clinging to the status quo in any of those areas is the source of all of our suffering. We are of the type to change (meaning our circumstances change). We will lose those we love. It is as it is. I hope you found some joy in Easter, my friend. I did, even without the church, and without three of my four egg hunters, and without being at home. It was a beautiful day. It is what it is. Echo [/QUOTE]
