Do I feel guilty? NO! On that day, Dec 23, 2003, Elias

was endstage, with probably only a few more days left. Today, July 3 2006,

he is still with us, and is downstairs running around with some Legos.

Bonnie,

Guilt has no place in a celebration of life.

Guilt sucks and I swear it is the most evil thing about being a mother of a

" SN " child. I could deal with all of their issues a thousand times over. I

could deal with not having " me " time. But I simply can not deal with feeling

guilty about wanting " me " time, or for feeling like sometimes I wish things

weren't this way.

Crap - I feel guilty just for writing this.

I think that was a " tell it like it is " post that is sure to have some

parents experiencing similar thoughts. Here's a hug!

One of the ways to determine the effect guilt is having ( and where it is

coming from) is to ask " What would things look like in the absence of guilt? "
