Reaching Out

Here I am again, reaching out, hoping for a branch to hold on to...I guess it keeps me humble, there are times I feel so strong, like I have it figured out, I will be okay...then I fall down. I am down. 
Gosh, I miss her. I think if I could just see her, just one more time...not a sign, not a feeling, but her, my baby, maybe I could come to terms with this, maybe...
I keep having this visual, the moment it happened. It is my imagination, as I never saw her that way. They wouldn't let me. But I see it in my minds eye, over and over again and I wonder, haven't I suffered enough??? Why is my mind doing this to me???
I keep gaining weight, becoming more and more miserable. My joints hurt so bad. I search the web and think I may have lupus and hope with all my heart I do so that I would really know my time here would be shorter than it might be otherwise. I am so ready to go I am hoping for a terminal illness to strike me down, I fear only the physical pain but no pain could compare to the pain of living without my precious baby.

Understand completely...nothing I can add to the above comments. We have all been there...just remember your feeling are yours to have and that is ok... take care of yourself - you are A LOT stronger than you give yourself credit for. Hugs, Ann

I understand also, we all do. I feel if I saw Mike just one more time I would start my grief journey all over again. It is a hard path, I do not want to deal with that at all.
