I think the only way I can leave all that anger and bitterness behind, is to leave those people behind. I'm still working on it.Mirnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13012378787039340510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-55901938363865180262009-06-19T00:28:00.688-04:002009-06-19T00:28:00.688-04:00I just wanted to let you know I'm here, Angie....I just wanted to let you know I'm here, Angie.

It's hard not to be when our loss is so huge. But now that they have said their peace, maybe you can salvage some sort of relationship with them in the future.CLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030787972960755420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-25632534506304064892009-06-17T19:26:25.868-04:002009-06-17T19:26:25.868-04:00you're beautiful angie. i know your letters wi...you're beautiful angie. i know your letters will say all the right things. i'm glad your friend was brave. i wish more of mine could be. i also wish i could find forgiveness like you.Hope's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984543289642681339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-3867954517697855292009-06-17T17:35:49.290-04:002009-06-17T17:35:49.290-04:00Be brave!

They have already told you they want to listen, what words are spoken won't matter as much as the fact that they are spoken from the heart and that you have found away to connect with each other again. <br /><br />Joy and sorrow=life.

I'm moving towards it but it hasn't been easy. I still trip and fall on my face. I wish we could all get letters like the one you received.

I've never really had anyone not acknowedge that Dresden was here, I guess in that sense I'm lucky to be surrounded by people who loved him too (although there are some who I feel have 'gotten over it'way before I'm ready).. but I still have bitterness - I think it goes hand in hand with this type of loss... I think anytime you go over in your head your baby dying you're going to say WHY ME? and I think that question alone brings out some bitterness.Shannon Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288990166879426608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-7978618507698074422009-06-17T09:06:04.127-04:002009-06-17T09:06:04.127-04:00I think that your reply will be just right.

It is great that your friends admitted their shortcomings and are trying to make amends.<br /><br />I believe that joy and grief are connected and opposites and to find the joy just work your way back from grief. It has something to do with your vantage point. You could try borrowing the vantage point that you use when you view Bea's life. <br /><br />Sorry if you were just musing and didn't want any "How To's".Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785702517380779595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-50940369040211321322009-06-17T08:50:30.940-04:002009-06-17T08:50:30.940-04:00You speak the truth sweet Angie...what to do with ...You speak the truth sweet Angie...what to do with all the remnants of my own friendships is still so unresolved for me.
