[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 749643, member: 19522"] Dearest LIttle Bird, How nice to "see" you again. Ah, the auto pilot, I have been there so many times. It's okay, Feeling. We have to be able to process unimaginable pain, these are our grown children. It hits me every so often, the doldrums. It’s usually triggered by some episode or another, knocks me flat, then I have to work hard to get back on my feet. Takes a lot of prayer and just plain letting go of what I cannot control. I don’t think grief ever leaves. It is the price of love, really. The difference being that we grieve loved ones who are still on this earth. That adds an extra challenge to move forward. This is exactly what I think, Feeling and also by our living and striving for peace and joy is a beacon to our wayward adult children. There are kind people. They are out there. I am glad you are able to ride the tide of your concerns and despite that go out and immerse yourself in your element. It is wonderful Feeling. I have my grands for the summer, possibly longer if it is Gods will. The situation we are all in is a challenge, because CPS is involved and the goal is still to reunite the kids with their parents, if they make steps to get clean. This opens up all kinds of worrisome possibilities but I am working hard to stave off the anxiety of this. I came across this quote and it has helped me try to focus on what I can control. [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3f/52/b0/3f52b0a529302922dbf846f569074c2a.jpg[/IMG] What I can do is try my best to bring some peace into my grands lives, show them love and kindness and hope whatever the outcome that they know there are different ways to live and that they have a choice in their own actions and behaviors. You are strong as well, Feeling, I don't think you realize that enough. Thank you for your kindness, light and love. The same right back at you. I only wish we were physically closer! Every day grief. It waxes and wanes. I think that I am getting better Feeling over realizing that I have absolutely no control over what my two decide.
