[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 725145, member: 19245"] Oh, Leafy. I am so sorry that you are going through so much pain. You are trying to grieve the loss of Hubs, but you are constantly faced with worry...crazy-making worry, that you have no control over. How horrible to ache and fear so much for your grands. You are probably one of the strongest women that I have ever known. You have such courage and inner strength. You write about your pain so eloquently. You are always there to help others in need, while all the while, enduring such unbelievable grief and worry. I have been reading about ambivalent grief. It is when a person is still alive, but they do not act like themselves anymore due to mental illness, addiction, brain trauma, etc. You continue to grieve for the person that they once were, that you have lost, and for the dreams that you had for them. Ambivalent grief also deals with the person still being alive and, yet you don't know where they are, if you will see them again, or if they will commit suicide, overdose, or be hurt by others. There is no closure. You continue to grieve. Most of the parents on this site are enduring both types of ambivalent grief. I am sending out prayers and positive thoughts for you. You are worrying about your precious grands who are mere ponds in this sick game of unending chess... We are all here for you. Take care of yourself and your son. Stay healthy and surround yourself with positive thoughts and memories. Yes, holidays mark time, both good and bad. Cherish your good memories of Hubs and know that you are truly blessed to have such a wonderful son. Please, take care of yourself, dear Leafy. [/QUOTE]
