[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 622476, member: 13542"] Whew. What a huge relief. I don't think I knew I was holding my breath!! Oh Cedar, you must be so relieved. When you and husband meet for your happy hour, please, have a Manhattan for me. I don't drink anymore because as it turns out I am allergic to alcohol, but PLEASE, have a cocktail for me! Life is funny sometimes, you got thrown a real curve ball and you had to face the ultimate fear all of us try not to really look at too much, what will we do if [B]they DIE???? [/B]Well, you got a good hard look at that and you learned some very valuable things. There is something inside that lets go I think when we face that piece, awful as it is, but our holding on so tightly to our avoidance of it is almost worse then just facing it. As you said yesterday about forgiveness, it takes so much energy to hold on to our hostility and anger and when we let it go, it is such a release and a relief.
