I am so sorry to hear this was the case with your mom, but you can take that and keep it from happening with your kids! The words don't mean anything other than the acknowledgement of them leaving. With that acknowledgement also comes the desire for their return. Goodbyes are almost always given for those we want to return.

Yout strength and your fear happen at teh same time. You have come such a logn way because of this, days were the fear won over strength, and even more so many, many days where your strength succeeded over ALL. Toay again is one of those days. You show me every day what I hace been told in my Trauma Therapy: all the tools to make it work we do carry inside us.

Letting go is not easy when you love someone.<br /><br />I can't even imagine what it must of felt like to be told and left alone like that with no comfort.<br />(((Sarah))))<br /><br />I know what you say is true about life.... letting go of things and people. But it is still hard.<br /><br />This post is bringing up missing Dr. T. I am still letting go. I am having a hard time at the moment believing I will ever meet someone as special to me as him, but I'm trying to move on the best I can.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this sweetie.
