[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 743573, member: 19522"] Hi Beta, it has been awhile since I have posted. I am so sorry for your grieving Mommas heart. I know the feeling all too well. It has been months since I have heard from my two. I pray for them daily, and have learned to let God and let go. It sounds so cliche, but it has been a lifeline for me, to place them into His care. It is hard. I know exactly what you mean. I felt the same way. After years of the craziness of it all, I had to realize that if I was asking in faith, then it would take faith and patience to bring calm into my own life, despite what may be happening in theirs. It has become a practice for me to keep praying, especially when I feel those pangs of fear of the unknown. It helps to put out the flames of anxiety, lest they build and consume me completely. Keep praying and posting and get your feelings out. Grief comes in many forms and waxes and wanes. The difficult part, is grieving over lifestyle choices, no contact, unanswered questions. It is a harder journey than losing a loved one in death. There is a finality to that. This, is [I]ongoing[/I]. Keep fighting the good fight, cry when you need to, then pick yourself up and rebuild. The holidays always magnify the feelings. We are definitely not living that Norman Rockwell painting. One day at a time. Take very good care of yourself, you matter. You are not alone Beta. Sending big hugs. Leafy [/QUOTE]
