When her friends find out they all say it will pass and THEN they tell her their own 'war stories'. As she cries, she asks "Why didn't anyone tell me??"<BR/><BR/>Honey, most of us have been there/ done that. And YES it does pass (but it takes forever to do so)Reach out to us and we will tell you our own stories. You are not alone.<BR/><BR/>Just let him touch.

If you figure it out, let me know.<BR/>My husband knows that I'm way beyond stressed right now. He offers hugs, and I can't let my guard down enough to accept them right now. If I let my guard down, even just a little, everything else will fall apart. I feel like I'm holding it all together with tape and popsicle sticks and I hate that feeling. Sometimes I want to run away.<BR/>Sounds like we could both use a little time to ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974479864897892693.post-78692352958760709932008-11-20T08:00:00.000-05:002008-11-20T08:00:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry life is trampling your spirit right n...I'm so sorry life is trampling your spirit right now. It sounds hollow, I know, for me to say, "This too shall pass." But it will. <BR/><BR/>There were so many days with my kids when I felt like I was losing my mind and should have been committed to a mental hospital, put on a regular diet of electroshock therapy. <BR/><BR/>And yet I survived and came out stronger on the other end. Let your hubby comfort you, sweetie. It's as much for him as it is for you. Let him hold you while you cry. It is sometimes the sweetest gift you can get.<BR/><BR/>Peace - DRiverPoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846730934649303857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974479864897892693.post-38803900346668831822008-11-20T02:00:00.000-05:002008-11-20T02:00:00.000-05:00Honey, I'm sorry.
