                You are right about that.  Soon this will all be over and he will be tracking mud across my clean floor again.  I can't wait.

                we all feel that way sometimes.  it's okay to not want to get hurt anymore.  i've been feeling a lot like that lately myself.

                MilitaryWife, it is sad but true that the older you get, the more loss you sustain of loved ones and acquaintenances.    And yet, it does not get any easier.    It is so sad to be the last living person of a family generation.

                no, when you consider the alternative, shutting down, shutting people out...it is worth it. remember what I said, if you don't have the bad how do you know what is good?? That is the way life is. However, you have had enough loss now so I pray that it gives you a reprieve.

                I was certainly wallowing in it.  I was tired and angry at the world for being so unfair...a little sleep made things feel and look alot betterIt's been a very long day which I will write about in a bit...for now I need to just unwind and have a cup of tea.  I will catch up with everyone in just a bit.

                MilWife, wallow in it for a while, the way that you're feeling...yeah, sometimes life catches up with us all, but 'have a good cry, and wash out your heart', as Dr. Hook said in a song one time....trust me, that which doesn't kill us only makes us stronger....it really does, and loss is part of life....Hugs to you, my dear
...would I sound trite if I suggested some, bacon?

 I hope you got some sleep and things look better now... I am sorry you have had so many losses to deal with this year. Some years are just hell and we celebrate all the more on New Year's Eve.
  I am curious about the M. by Proxy story too... I have never understood how someone could do it. (Well, obviously they are mentally ill, but wow, so hard to deal with for everyone close.)

                    You keep on nagging! I need it! Honest.
                
                I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but don't you think it's normal? You cared about all these people and situations. If you DIDN'T feel bad, that's when I'd be worried. 
  To care means you WILL at some point suffer for it. Each of us makes our own decision about whether we're willing to risk it or not. For me, even though I sometimes feel like you do right now, I normally snap out of it in a few days and go back to being me.
  Some days being YOU just sucks, doesn't it?

                we do often delude ourselves into thinking "it's safer" if we close ourselves off from the majority... It so isn't..... but we all 
know that, it doesn't change the times when it feels easier and safer.
