I know I can't separate myself from any of my kids pain and I worry and fret, as you do, until there is some resolution. Resolution always comes in time, even if it's not the one you would choose. <br /><br />The wisest words I've heard and true, are 'This too, shall pass.'<br /><br />All things do..ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380296569508243613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925100199063229025.post-28975147760201828802009-10-27T16:41:05.251+11:002009-10-27T16:41:05.251+11:00Thinking of you Robyn and your son.

What better way than to surround yourself with such beautiful roses.

Fretting and worrying only adds more energy to your son's already chaotic experience of trying to find himself in the rubble of his shattered life. If you are strong in yourself, he has someone to lean on and he does not have to worry about. And if he can see how you take care of yourself on a daily basis maybe he will begin to find ways that he can care for his soul, too. Just as you showed him how to be a good and kind and self confident person when he was living at home through your guidance and example, this too can be a time of support through living your life authentically. You are awesome! Everyone who comes here knows it. You are wise to start caring for your own soul, first and this will be the best way to be of service to your son.Kathryn Knollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283255235968110903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925100199063229025.post-50743992350220878202009-10-26T20:47:51.319+11:002009-10-26T20:47:51.319+11:00I'm so glad your son has you right now and of ...I'm so glad your son has you right now and of course, I absolutely 100% support you in getting back to that self-care.

Not what he's done that's just dim. But to know my son was in pain and that I couldn't kiss him better.No amount of my worrying was going to help. So I just opened my arms and gave out more love, didn't try to change anything was just there accepting of him. It's taken time, but I believe that doing that has helped him get to a more secure place. he knows the boundaries now and he works with them and not outside them. I know my situation is different,but our mother love isn't. And I so agree that taking solace from nature is a powerful and fulfilling way to stroke ourselves back to emotional well being.<br />xxFire Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477692359400671374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925100199063229025.post-4294983142655484102009-10-25T16:18:29.541+11:002009-10-25T16:18:29.541+11:00Robyn, love, go here:
