Death

My apologies for not seeing this email. I hope this reply finds you. If there is one thing that I can't speak on is getting over those fears that haunt you from life experiences. Just last week my couselor said, "there are some old feelings that you are still having about the events in your life." That stuck with me and I have been chewing on the thought of my old feelings, I'm ready for new feelings and I think wanting to move on may be a turn toward a new view.

Take care.

I'm in recovery in theAl-anon program. I'm currently working step 4 which I talk about briefly in my blog. I think your post is great! These steps can help anyone anywhere no matter what they are going through. And if they have a problem I highly recommend they seek help.

Death of a child

Hi There, I have never experienced the death of a child but your story really affected me. I hope I am not out of line in writing to you. I am a mentally ill mother and have spent alot of time in a psychiatric unit over the years. i have had quite a bit of contact with mothers in hospital whose children have died as well as facing my own mortality issues. I am quite familiar with death and am often terrified that somehow it will pass on to my son like some contagen. I do not profess to know an inch of how you feel but I really feel for you and your children. My best wishes for you.
