dear "mom"-I know that you are truly hurting right now, I've been there. It must seem like the pain is too great and will never end. But please WAIT and you WILL feel better - I promise!
In the meantime, Please CALL someone, anyone - there have been "special people" there for me in the past. Even if you call annonyously- just touch base with someone for today...a minister, a hotline, a doctor, a socialworker, anyone. Maybe you feel that you can't call a friend-but I think that the call is essential. While you wait for the call, I will tell you my secret--if you climb in bed and get snuggled in pillows and blankets, and tell yourself that you won't do anything until you talk to someone--time WILL pass and a small speck of sunshine will appear-remember:
one day, one hour, one minute at a time...
please let us know how you are doing -we care...
