Have heard those words many times, most recent when my Grandaughter was stillborn, altho I hated hearing it and felt it was a load of crap, kind of worked out to be true.
We HAVE to be whats the option?
We give up?

Thalassa: I can't help but wonder why it is that I am told I am strong at those times in my life when I feel my absolute weakest or most devastated. It strikes me as much the same as if I was starving and was told that I have enough body fat to get through the hunger....or, if I was cold and shivering outdoors, I'm told that I have plenty of blankets and coats back home. In other words, I'm cold because I DON'T have those blankets and coats with me; I'm starving because I have no food. And when I am weak, telling me I am strong is just as meaningless.
Just thinking out loud.

Admitting you feel weak is a sign of strength in itself.

True, Morgan...at least, I agree that we can't just give up. But I don't know that it's strength that gets us through those heartbreaking times in our lives as much as it is just time that heals our wounds. They're never completely healed, such as in the case of your losing your precious granddaughter. Rather, they leave scars. But time and the distance of our memories carry us through, not strength. My opinion only, of course.

Thank you, Ken. It's late and I must go to sleep soon, but I might just take you up on your offer soon. Thanks very much.

Well, I have met you and you're a gorgeous slim thing so don't understand the reference to body fat. But its not meant as literal, is it?
You are clearly perceived stronger than most by those who know you. Probably because you ARE stronger than those you know? We have a different perception of ourselves than how others see us. Sometimes when you feel you are crumbling you project a different outward appearance? Or perhaps you really are strong but YOU just don't see it, whereas others do?
I do hope things are not taking their toll on you? Been there.....
But what is the alternative? There is no other option at times. You WILL get through whatever it is...... truly!!
Its nice to see you post after such a long time ---->

Maybe each situation is different, I had to be strong for my Son so i could be there and support him through the worst experience anyone can go thro . No way could I act how I felt inside in front of him, for that situation I feel I had to find the strength.As for time healing? you maybe right I think of her most days and still cry everytime I do .

Ahhhhh, thanks for your post. I haven't been here much for many months. Honestly, I would pop in now and again to see what was being discussed here on the Forums and rarely found anything that I wanted to contribute to, but that's just the snob in me coming out!
Hope you're doing well, dear Rose (I still think of you as Rose of Sharon, not as a dandelion!)

Maybe....or maybe it's just knowing how truly weak I am in certain situations. Hmmmmmmm....the chicken or the egg?

Yes, it hasn't gone unnoticed that you have been sadly lacking from the Forums, love.
Someone hacked into my profile so I had to create another one, but I was Dandelion originally anyway..... (for those still here that remember). Shows how long I have been here, doesn't it?
You're not a snob. There has been little to post to lately, that's true.
Hope all is well over there. Don't be a stranger though, eh?

Thank you. Things ARE slowly getting better. I've had almost 2 months to absorb the realities and I feel the progression, albeit a slow progression. 2 steps forward, one step back, you know. But I am like the tortoise...slow and steady wins the race. I'll win this race in time. Hugs.

You can see light at the end of the tunel, that's the main thing.
Be patient and let time do it's magic ......
