They are only focused on their pain--you have yours AND theirs to deal with. Someday, they'll truly understand what it means to "get it" and they'll be so grateful you were their soft place to fall.<br /><br />I'm sorry you're going through this. I want to say something positive and upbeat, but mostly I want you to know I'm mourning your loss with you and want to help you carry your grief and be there with you when you're ready to dream new dreams.Marissa Genta Pinedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041902734181450721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925297791045105515.post-60540575850788016872012-01-29T23:51:20.394-07:002012-01-29T23:51:20.394-07:00You have always been a ray of sunshine in my life ...You have always been a ray of sunshine in my life and now I pray that you feel that sunshine in your life.

You can drive out to my house!

While I agree our children do not need our burdens on their mind - I do think in some situations to truly connect with us and rely on us as confidants, they need to know we understand. That we are like them. That we are human. While it's normal to shy away from sharing the uncomfortable with them - I think it can also bond us together. <br /><br />Maybe they think it is isn't affecting you? Perhaps they feel you're best face forward is one of disconnect with them and their pain? I dunno. I am praying for your solace, peace and comfort during this transition.macyllehubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418639899406428649noreply@blogger.com
