As long as we aren't lying in our wallows of self-pity, of course. That's just not healthy.<BR/><BR/>I hope that you don't feel like you have to regularly suffer (with or without feeling sorry for yourself) in order to feel like you are gaining something or doing right in the eyes of God. <BR/><BR/>You are hearing from the girl who hasn't suffered a day in her life. One day, when I'm suffering, my blog is going to blow up and my keyboard is going to be so hot that it catches fire! Then, I will be wallowing and I will need encouragement :-) <BR/><BR/>Girl, you don't wallow. You're one strong mamma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726416.post-40702049757213134762007-11-18T15:59:00.000-05:002007-11-18T15:59:00.000-05:00maybe self-pity isn't the right word for what you ...maybe self-pity isn't the right word for what you are experiencing. you are a mother, and mothers want to protect their children. Emily struggled so, it broke her heart and ours, when she had to make Livi go through something that was painful, scary, and it never ended. But she did it...for Livi's good we hoped. <BR/>So do say, why does my child have to have this treatment, this syndrome....etc. a mother's heart will always break for her children over and over.....whether they are 1, 2, etc. up til the time you die. it is the part of mothering that you didn't realize you signed up for.......some is much worse than others. as someone, who had lost their child suddenly at age 11, said to us in a card when livi died....don't spend too much time in the whys. So, bri, grieve for your son, and then get over it. you probably already are! gigiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726416.post-28539478482223715632007-11-16T09:39:00.000-05:002007-11-16T09:39:00.000-05:00Thinking of you. :)Thinking of you. :)Sarita Leonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09236262575377618259noreply@blogger.com
