[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 623973, member: 13542"] Oh IAD, I'm sorry you were up so early. I think most of us here can relate to that early morning ruminating and sadness. I'm glad you were able to talk to your therapist. Can you balance out your care for your son with equal care for you? That makes a difference for me, if I do nurturing and kind, supportive, caring things for myself especially when there are events happening which require more energy from me. I'm sure Cedar will be along to answer your question about Pema Chodron as well, here are the books I've been reading by her which have brought me so much comfort. [U]When things fall apart; Comfort[/U]a[U]ble with Uncertainty, Living Beautifully [/U]and I'm in the middle of [U]The places that scare you. [/U]For me, she speaks to what we are forced to deal with here, facing so much fear and pain and she puts it in a context which makes sense to me, provides me with some tools, more spiritual in nature, which make the journey we are on have some meaning in our own ability to keep our hearts opened and filled with compassion, even in the most trying times. You're a warrior Mom IAD, like so many of us here, you face the dragon every day, you fall down, get back up and do it all over again. I don't know why this is our particular fate, but I do know the level of courage and profound love it takes to walk this path. As we do here, we have circled our wagons around you. You are not alone, we're all right here. [/QUOTE]
