What’s depressing is that people want us to “get over it”, not realizing that it would<br />be much more disturbing and alarming if somehow we were able to do that." Amen to that! And to everything you said about friends too. This is a beautiful post. Thank you for sharing your sweet Elias with us. I'm so sorry he's not with you.

I love what you have written about your daughter, so well articulated and so true. I was terrified that J would be somehow half a person, that I had managed to ruin her life before it had scarcely begun. But, of course, that isn't true. They are our beloved daughters, dear and strong and whole. <br /><br />You are so right about friends too. The ones that judge us are the ones that, maybe, weren't worth having in the first place xCatherine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618295389400457254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262780222421784520.post-39810439152137077222012-06-05T08:16:12.546-07:002012-06-05T08:16:12.546-07:00Thank you for sharing your heart and thoughts...I ...Thank you for sharing your heart and thoughts...I can relate to a lot of where you are now...the raw, sharp grief does come, but not as much.
