Do not dwell on the 'what ifs' and the negative. There is always another view to everything that happens to us.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-69811869767213554682012-06-27T02:55:44.773+10:002012-06-27T02:55:44.773+10:00I'm sad to read this, Persiflage, but I have b...I'm sad to read this, Persiflage, but I have been in(and can still return to) many of the places you describe so vividly. does it help if I say that this is a perfectly normal part of the grief process? However tough it is, it's normal, and you have had to cope with a great deal more than many of us. It is still early days. Be kind to yourself.Relatively Retiringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648407316162715318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-83448621879980232932012-06-27T02:36:20.422+10:002012-06-27T02:36:20.422+10:00Oh dear, I'm so sorry you're feeling down....Oh dear, I'm so sorry you're feeling down. All I can say is that you are a very interesting person and if Stompergirl is anything to go by, you've been a more than adequate parent. Her blog is one of my favourites and she's clearly a lovely lovely person with delightful children, so I'm sure you didn't do much wrong there. As for the rest - well, which of us has fulfilled his/her potential? There's only so much you can fit into one life and if you've sacrificed some of your ambitions while caring for others -well, that's a noble thing to have done, even if it's sometimes a bit thankless... <br /><br />And I'm sure there's plenty of life in you yet. It's still very soon after all the terrible things you've been through. It's no wonder you feel bruised.Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/12641269043817163165noreply@blogger.com
