Letting the tears flow is the only way through this that ACTUALLY heals. Your twins did matter, your pain matters, your trauma mattered, and feeling it and cleansing your soul of the tears when it needs cleansing is so...well, CLEANSING. I shocked myself by crying last week about my past losses, over which I haven't cried in a long time. Probably because your grief triggered my memories so profoundly, and I was partly crying for you too. Then it turns into crying for all women, all humanity. When I'm finally struck with how precious a single life is - a true MIRACLE - I stop crying and can go on. It's funny how that works. I don't understand grief, but there is a certain magic and beauty in it. It's transformative. And you are transforming into someone more beautiful every day through your strength.<BR/><BR/>Also, I love the picture of Seth 2 posts up. He DOES look so grown-up! He is going to be one cutie-patootie. Look out to all the little girls out there, here's a heartbreaker for sure! <BR/><BR/>Hugs, D. :)lalaladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01939809945530105293noreply@blogger.com
