WHEN? I feel like it is two steps forward and two steps back. I/we can never get a head of these troubles.
And as far as God giving us only what we can handle,
who does he think I AM? Am I supposed to hate my kids?
Am I supposed to be so upset all of the time that they
suffer? Why can't things let up already!
Keep me in your prayers, I need a xanax!

"Well, I think God got pushing me, got busy with something/someone else and totally forgot about me...and by the time He remembered what He had been doing with me, Hannah was dead, my life was falling apart and I was drowning. So by then, everything was too late."

And I honestly believed that - Robin can attest to my saying it, because she was there and was always trying to help me, but that was the way I was thinking for a long time.

The only thing that helped and I still want you to do it is to take time for just you to grieve. I did my private time in the driveway, sitting in the van with silence and a roll of papertowels. Everyone knew that when I was in there, leave me alone - nothing else existed -

Grieving is very hard work - so you need that time alone. Try to get some and see if it helps - getting that break was what kept me sane, even if it was only 30 minutes or so at a time.
