[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 613070, member: 1721"] Witz, I don't know how you could prepare for what is coming. But I do know that you can claim the right to time. When those words are spoken, and someone tells you the babies have been born or your father has died, you can [U]give yourself the gift of time.[/U] Whatever it is that the person says Witz, promise yourself that you will react as though you knew it was coming in just the way it does come. Maybe, say something simple like, "I was expecting this news. Thank you." Again, the purpose is to limit further damage. That is the only purpose. There is no way to make this situation good. So, it becomes about making it survivable. I would be worried sick about it if I were you too, Witz. I am so sorry this is happening to you. Cedar P.S. Sometimes, it helps to know that, once the bad thing has happened, you will be able to tell someone. We are right here, Witz. It sounds silly to say it, but everything will be alright. Everything will be alright ~ whatever it is, however it comes, you will handle it gracefully. And we will be right here Witz, when you are ready to process it. [/QUOTE]
