[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 623582, member: 17461"] I am here with you too, pasajes. I liked the post about being strong and healthy for him. This is a true thing. Our being frightened does nothing to help the kids. It is so hard to put that into perspective, though. Recovering describes that feeling, that stopped feeling, as FOG. When it happens to me, I can climb out a little easier with a name for the feeling. Naming it seems to put an edge on it, a boundary beyond which that feeling isn't overwhelming, anymore. Somehow, thinking about it like that makes it possible for me to sit with that shaken, stopped feeling until I am back on solid ground. It helps me sometimes to find a card to send. Reading all the cards, laughing or crying or whatever emotion the sentiment called before choosing the one I will send is so healing for me. When I do send the card, it means all those feelings and more. (And sometimes, I don't send it, right away. I savor it, first.) It helps me remember how much I love that person the card is for, sort of helps me remember what they mean to me. And what I mean, to them. Somewhere along in there, I understand that what really matters IS that I love them. **** Know what I would like to hear? What you did in the taking care of yourself realm. I have a plan for myself. I like to think and think about it. Know what I am going to do? Right after Easter, when the peanut M&Ms go on clearance, I am going to buy a bag and eat it all. Preferably while watching Beverly Hills Housewives. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
