[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 725536, member: 18958"] hi new leaf. i waited to respond on this thread until i could bear the pain of it. and still i cannot. actually i do no believe this is bearable for any mother. i will just say this: i do not think it is about strength. i do not think it is a question of love. or will. you have all of that to the nth degree. this is not a battle. at least not a real one. there is nothing right to do. or wrong. there is no reason that she will recover. or will not. or that my own son will live out his lifespan. he has an illness. he feels invulnerable. i worry about bikes and cars and helmets...and.... but there is no certainty of anything at all. for anybody. the physical pain of this for me at my heart chakra feels like what it is: a heart attack. i feel this as i type this. for you. for me. that said: i think there is a place of unity. where the fears, the past and future, the present, your daughter and you, my son and i--come together. where there is no expectation or want. (actually. i think the rok bottom that is meaningful for me...is my own. it is beyond the depths.) i have not a doubt in the world about your capacity to be in this moment despite the outcome. this dread is spiritual in nature i think. but there is a point when the battles stop and the last one i have been told is seeing ones own face. and then. you are there at the center. rest. you are there.
