I wish you so much good luck when it comes to raising your child, who I am certain is beautiful and doubtless has many things to teach us all.<br /><br />(For an example of one incredibly inspiring child's story- he has Down's Syndrome- watch the film '<a href="http://www.prayingwithlior.com/" rel="nofollow">Praying With Lior</a>.') <br /><br />Binyamin,<br /><br />That sounds like hell. It's amazing that you have been able to live through those difficulties. I'm sure your tears ascend to God and your friend is moved by your consistent efforts to save his life. The fact that you cry out in your sleep like that only expresses the depth of your caring.Chanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655144434904957767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-88964881280225887562010-08-03T22:13:14.589-04:002010-08-03T22:13:14.589-04:00my hardest emotional experience was losing both my...my hardest emotional experience was losing both my grandfathers w/in a 2 month period. just a half year later i lost one of my closest friends in front of my eyes he was run over by a drunk driver. i still wake up at night screaming to him to "watch out". i still cry about it even though it happened four years ago.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13764498171998274565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-39790086722464530582010-08-03T16:46:04.780-04:002010-08-03T16:46:04.780-04:00Probably deciding to allow myself to feel and be v...Probably deciding to allow myself to feel and be vulnerable. -Joseph the DreamerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-47930758349084589542010-08-03T15:26:03.503-04:002010-08-03T15:26:03.503-04:00Tesyaa - you're a matriarch in my book.Tesyaa - you're a matriarch in my book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-5189001529435942452010-08-03T11:28:16.827-04:002010-08-03T11:28:16.827-04:00Infertility and being childless was much harder em...Infertility and being childless was much harder emotionally than raising a child with a disability is. <br /><br />(Maybe the previous difficult experience with infertility made the second experience less so. When I experienced infertility, I spent almost every waking moment blaming myself, looking for character flaws, trying to be "more religious", because this was obviously my fault. Facing a second challenge, I found all that negativity very unproductive. I have a positive outlook and I don't blame myself. Or maybe it's just the wisdom of being a lot older.tesyaanoreply@blogger.com
