This is AMAZING! Not just amazing ...Holy cr*p, Kim! This is AMAZING! Not just amazing writing (which it is), but amazing insight. I honestly had never connected loss--our loss, *the* loss--with the well-intentioned futility of trying to protect our children from bad things in the world. I have been focused more on how it has changed my perspective on my own life, finally helping me *get* the importance of enjoying and celebrating and focusing on the journey, since "destinations" can be so, well, easily taken away. But until now I had not thought of it in terms of how it might change my parenting. I do, actually, find I am trusting my kids to fight more of their own battles. I listen to their concerns, ask what they think they could do, and offer suggestions if asked or if I think I have a nugget of wisdom that might help, but it is easier now to let it be *their* fight, not mine. <br /><br />Leave it to the miracle of the widowed web to help connect the dots for me. Thank you. Hugs.<br /><br />JayJay Cosnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402435089774564279noreply@blogger.com
