My son was just sentenced to 6Yrs in the DOC. I knew this day was coming but how does the heart ache go away? I am so afraid thinking of the lonely days and dark nights ahead of him. I feel so lost..
Wendy, I am sorry you have to go through this. I know how difficult it really is; all of us. I went to the Dollar Tree and purchased every single candle (the tall religious ones in glass) and burned one around the clock. Each time I walked by the burning candle I would talk/pray to Jesus. Many times I cried for Jesus to help me an calm myself and to keep my son safe. I would often roam around the house ready to rip my hair out, but then I discovered peace, a tranquil wave of sorts, each time I envisioned my Savior's face. I would write cards and send letters to our MISS children. As time went on I didn't burn so many candles unless things were really rough on our kids or the Moms. The anxiety does lesson somewhat. There was a brief hiatus from this site too. Everyone copes differently, but one thing I didn't do was resort to alcohol. I think prayer really does help.
God bless you!!!
I try to stay positive but even that will open up the floodgates. My husband took me out for a nice supper and I end up crying through part of our date. Ben has been is custody since mid August and I knew this day would come and thought it would not be as difficult as it is right now. I wander into his room looking for anything tangible to hold that may comfort me. what do you find that comforts you in times that you feel lonely and sad?
