Re: just need encouragement
Oh please never apologize for feeling "needy", if that is even the right word. What you are experiencing is deep and real. We understand it. I don't believe that taking Ativan suggests a lack in faith or a weakness. We need to do whatever is offered to us for relief and comfort Admitting powerlessness is a powerful thing to do. I admire you beyond words. This is a time to let people help you. Tell them things they can do for you. Take the kids to a movie, bring over food etc. conserve your strength Above all, keep the faith.
