  • Yeah, I'm over it. (0 / 0)

    However, it hit again when my kids were no longer what anyone would call "little kids"...maybe I'm paranoid, but honestly, it effects many areas of your life.  I've even noticed that a group of us get treated differently  by health care providers, school personnel, etc.  Now what I run up against is "well, its not like you have anything IMPORTANT to do"....at least there was the concession when I had younger children that they might be considered "something important to do"!

    • Yeah, it sounds like mourning to me. (0 / 0)

      From what you say, it comes in waves when you least expect it, like mourning?

        its what I tell people about "acceptance".  You hear a lot about "acceptance" in support groups dealing with health issues, too.  I've found that it's not something that you just get, then have forever.  You do it over, and over again.  In waves.  You're absolutely right...and sometimes it just hits you out of the blue.
