> So, whatever I may have learned, particularly in the last four months, I still find it difficult getting myself to go to bed, no matter how tired I am, because going to sleep means waking up, and waking up means that it's another day ... and that is simply the worst thing that can happen. I can't go to bed because tomorrow is another day.

> bobBob, you really have a gift with words. Your post was poignant. I can't relate to losing my father (yet), but have spent a lot of time trying to relieve childhood traumas instead of continuing to relive them. Also, I could really relate to your statement about not wanting to go to sleep, because it leads to getting up the next day. That's the hardest thing I do all day, get up to face another day!--Cindy W
