[QUOTE="Beta, post: 765457, member: 22597"] Yes, that's where my thoughts tend to go too. There are times when the sense of loss and powerlessness is overwhelming, and I have to actively turn my thoughts elsewhere, pray, or go do something physical to keep my sanity, as well. I appreciate the Bible passages you mentioned. During this past year, I read a devotional book on the lament psalms, and that was comforting. But you're right, detachment is difficult because everything in you wants to nurture and love on your child as you did when they were young. I have to say, this situation has definitely driven me more to God. I wouldn't make it if I didn't have Him in my life to uphold me and strengthen me. This is the hardest thing I've ever gone through, as I'm sure everyone on this site would say. I have to trust that God is using it and will use it for good. This is what my husband and I are doing too. When our son comes to mind, we pray, and then try to move on. But it's hard. Thank you. I will pray for you and your family and your daughter as well. I try to remember to pray for everyone who posts on this site. May God's comfort and peace be poured into our hearts right now. [/QUOTE]
