yes, trish, that *is* what i'm saying, and it's making myself focus on the global community of bereaved parents that has kept me from cracking up during the holidays, and kept me from thinking i was walking around with a huge cosmic target on my back that god was taking potshots at... right from the beginning, i knew that "at least lora didn't kill herself" and "at least lora wasn't kidnapped & tortured/murdered" were two things i could honestly say would have been worse for me as a mom, so i kept repeating them to myself the entire month of december... they are called coping mechanisms, not because they erase our pain, but they make the pain bearable for a season.
and that is what i'm trying to say. thank you for putting it into better words for me ((hugs))
