[QUOTE="ANewLife4Me, post: 765372, member: 32799"] You are amazing! ❤️ I too have had a bit of depression and it happens each time she calls but, I am not allowing it to consume my day or my thoughts anymore. What do we really gain by laying in bed, crying, for me putting myself into a panic attack and being nasty towards my husband? As you said our children have to accept that we won’t be around forever but we also need to heed this advice. Meaning….WE need to live our lives NOW and not loose one precious second of the time God has given us. As another said on here, put a timer on it. If we must be sad go ahead and give in, shed a few tears and be done with it for your day. It’s hard to find joy in our lives but, if we give finding it as much effort as we do being depressed, will find it easier and easier to let go. My exercise machine is set up in what used to be her bedroom and there is where I allow myself a bit of grief but, for only 25 minutes. 😊 This has really worked for me and I really am enjoying life more, being the person I know that I can be. I was thinking of all the Moms here and Mothers Day. We should celebrate fully, we gave birth to them, we raised them with much love, we went above and beyond. It is not we who are to blame but, they who make bad choices…..we have been amazing parents and don’t any of you out there forget this! 🤗 [/QUOTE]
