Comments on: Guilty Pleasures… http://www.thirtyseconds.us/guilty-pleasures/ Our Thirty Seconds is a journey on which we are both passenger and pilot. We make hopeful choices every moment of every day, some more noteworthy than others. Ultimately these choices fill our Thirty Seconds...

Your comment has been sticking in my head since you left it. I can't tell you much of anything that you don't already know...but what I DO know is that everyone deals with loss differently. Maybe I'm lucky because I can see some "good" things that come from a deep loss. I could be delusional...but I want to believe that our life...yours and mine...is worth living. Clearly we know it is...but worth living with some joy and light heartedness. (Apparently that's not a word because there is a red squiggly line under it.) I know those emotions...even did a quick post today on guilt. It's draining...and so hard. I feel bad for you and hope very much that you continue to find at least a shred of something that will help you get through each day on your way to feeling better about this world...even though your son isn't in it. I want to recommend you read, "Conversations with God," if you haven't already. It helped me quite a bit. It doesn't matter what your religious beliefs are...you can take what you like and leave the rest. I'm just saying that it comforts me about so many things...one of them being death and the hereafter. I'm just a guy sharing his thoughts and observations. I'm nothing more than that...and don't pretend to be. I guess sometimes I can put what people are feeling into words and I'm thankful for that. Please visit and comment as much as you want. (I also want to thank you for your candor.) Remember to take care of yourself... .-= akoehn´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.thirtyseconds.us/?p=1414" rel="nofollow">Say Hello to My Little Friend.</a> =-.
