[QUOTE="Beta, post: 744107, member: 22597"] Smithmom, yes you are right about the conversation being doomed from the start. I have reached the point now where I feel like I've come to a new level of understanding of what I can expect and not expect. Money is the only thing he wants from us--anything else is brushed off. Tanya, your list of grief stages and examples is very helpful. I boomerang back and forth between them all, which I know is a normal part of the grieving process for anyone you've lost. Thank you, and I will be able to refer to them again when I need to identify "where I am" on any given day! SWOT-I agree that mourning a child that is alive but not "there" in the same sense they once were is harder in some ways because it's not final, but then again, when something is not final, there is still a possibility that change COULD occur. Maybe not likely, but still possible. So I guess there's a trade off on each one. I'm sorry for the pain you experienced from your family. To experience rejection from the very one person who should love you no matter what, is incredibly hard. [/QUOTE]
