Hey Paula,
I'm glad to hear that you'll be receiving some help which hopefully will allow you the time, without having the stress that the expectations of working can place on us, to concentrate on you and what you need. We are pulled in so many different directions that we lose the focus so desperately needed to learn how to live in a world without our children.
Interesting...G.R.A.S.P. and maybe a healthy outlet for both you and Craig. I 'do' understand..."being brought back to a place that is so raw"....because it's similar to sharing at 'any' meeting and similar, also to sharing here. Some have shared that it's a lot easier for them to 'not' open up on here and by staying away they also don't have to relive or deal with the emotions (and the awful pain) that they cannot yet cope with and at the same time, feel comforted by the fact that they are not alone. It has always helped me to share everything relating to the death of my children. We are all so unique in that sense that we have to search and find our 'own' ways to come to grips with the brutal reality that our children have died. My heart goes out to all and I can understand any path that one chooses after losing a child.
I'm sorry to hear about Kait and her continuing problems.
Thanks, Paula for the update. I always love hearing from you.
Hugs & Love to both you and Craig and loving thoughts of Adam,
Terry
