[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 682275, member: 17461"] Monkey mind.... Monkeys are said to be clever, brilliant even. They are known to be curious, and to be quick, sifting enormous amounts of information in the blink of an eye. It helps me, savior no more, to acknowledge the impossible difficulty of living and loving so intensely when the realities we share with our children bear not the smallest resemblance to anything we knew to be real, before these things began happening to all of us. There are no guideposts to let us know where we are. When the rational responses we've made fail, we accuse ourselves. It is the situation that is horrific. Not you. Not me. Not our children. We fail, and we try again. The one constant is love. It would be an easier thing, to turn away. But our children and families and the lives we all have created together are in our hearts. Grief, and horror sometimes, and so little joy to sustain us. Somehow, we come through to a reality we cannot recognize, except for that feeling of love and compassion for our children and ourselves and that is the only thing we know at all, sometimes. I am glad you found us, and that you are here with us now, savior no more. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
