[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember the first time I laughed, like really really laughed and felt joy, after the sudden death of our middle child.  I didn't think I would ever feel joy again and I remember very specifically sitting on my porch and laughing at something my girlfriend was gossiping about on the phone.  It was such a catty snarky convo and it just cracked me up. I realized at that moment I might be ok.  Not the same, but maybe, just maybe I would be ok. Maybe I wouldn't;t have to fake every single smile for the rest of my life just for my kids sake.  Maybe I would have moments of joy, laughter, friendship, and love again. Just maybe.  That happened 7 years ago and I even remember the way the wind smelled on my porch that afternoon.  Its such a distinct memory and it really did define my life…my recovery life. [/quote]

I lost my brother about 6 years ago and this was both relateable and beautiful. It is definitely a transition to when suddenly you think you're life is going to be ok again. I hope my mother has had this moment.[/quote]
