Dear Sue Doe,
What a beautifully written poem about your son. I want to thank you for sharing something so special. This is what makes PB so important to all fellow sufferers; we learn we are not alone in our pain and we hear similar stories, some of success, some of failures, but we can all relate.
And that is what keeps us going, that we are not alone and that tomorrow just might be better.
I don't know why some people can face enormous loss, pain and grief and seem to come through it unscathed and why others like me have a genetic program that kicks in at some point in life. My "dis-ease" just happened to kick in when I needed every bit of coping skills that I could muster and they just weren't there. Like the gas tank was empty. I guess my big job is acceptance of things that simply are. Like having to take medication, of having to accept some rather unacceptable side effects for at least a short time and accepting that my life will never be the same. And today I can accept this. Tomorrow may be a different story. But I don't have to worry about that today, right? Thanks Again, Sue.
Anne :)
