wish me luck

This was my first morning home (I stayed at my Mom and Dad's the first few days).  I am so happy to be home and yet it is so hard.  I want to pull my kids on my lap and hug them so tight and I can't.  I feel like half a person.  I know I have just begun to heal but i want my life back.  I have missed my kids and dh so much.  I hate this.

I remember that feeling exactly. So sorry that's where you are right now. I reall missed lying down with my kids before bed, so what we did was that they came and cuddled/read in my bed. Not as much contact and I was careful/asked them to be careful, but it helped so much to have that kind of special quiet time together.

It probably doesn't help to hear it now, but it will get easier incremementally and the progress won't be exactly linear, but it will happen. Hang in there. We're pulling for you. Maggie

Being away from the kids is the hardest part......How are they dealing with this?  Get your sleep and your energy should return and you can plan a special together day with the husband and kids......thinking of you!
