[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 733292, member: 19522"] I hope you [I]make [/I]time to crawl up in a ball and cry, cry, cry. Things can wait, housework, chores can wait. Get it out! There is nothing wrong with acknowledging your feelings and releasing them. I read an article about people who mask and deny their feelings, and the stress it causes. A good hard cry is cleansing. HH. It has been two years since my hubs passed. The grief I felt and still feel at times is [I]different[/I] from this. This is [I]harder[/I], profound and deep. There is no razored edge finality, like the loss of a loved one in death. There are so many unanswered questions and places our minds can go to. Letting go feels horrible at first, it feels like we are giving up on our adult kids, depriving them, it goes against every instinct to nurture. You are strong and can get through this. This is what he needs to know, to learn and grow. He is not some withering broken thing that needs to rely and spit on his parents at the same time. That is what happens when we step in to rescue, we keep [I]clipping their wings[/I]. You are giving your son his wings. Take one moment, sometimes one breath at a time. You will get through this, and so will your son. Keep posting and sharing your thoughts, we are here for one another. We have all been where you are at right now. You are not alone.
