[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 28023, member: 3353"] Hi, Tracy ~ and welcome to the site. At the bottom of my post is the address of a detachment site. It will help you begin to separate and identify the feelings. Going through something like this is overwhelming. There are no outward signs of grief for parents to wear so others will know they are grieving ~ but that is what you are doing, Tracy. Suz told me once (I think it was you, Suz) that I would go through the five stages of grief many times. She was right. Still, it helps sometimes to be able to label the feelings and understand that we are moving through them. Or moving at all, some days. Anger, denial, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Is that right, does anyone know? And here is the Serenity Prayer. I was told to read it and read it until I felt it begin workiing. It was especially helpful to me when I would awaken at night, worried. ******************** GOD, GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE THE COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. ********************* Please keep posting about what is happening, and how you feel about that. So many of us have been where you are, now. You will survive this. It took me ~ well, I'm still not altogether okay, but I am so much better. The worst of it took a little over one year. You might try the Teen site too for support ~ post in both if you find it comforting. I am so sorry this is happening to you and to your son, so sorry for your pain. I am glad you found us.
