Grieving alcohol not mentioned.


 

 

No I didn't know how to do it coming from inside of the disease.  I didn't know how and was afraid to try.  I was afraid so I didn't learn a lot of normal stuff.  I learned how to grieve in the program of the Al-Anon Family Groups as I watched so many others grieve their losses and wonder "why do they do that"?  I wasn't in denial, I was in shock and in fear and  unknowing.  I did learn how to grieve and many other emotions that only women can teach and it made me grow and more honest because now I could know and express feelings...my female side...(still have a problem saying that...lol)

Today I grieved and am still grieving about those little children and their teachers and administrators at their school in Pakistan.  I re-feel the fear and terror of being abused as a child and I squirm for my grandchildren and great grandchildren.  I have nothing but prayerful conversation with my Higher Power..."Uoki!! I command my HP..."Stop It!!" My HP allows demands and so today along with my wife...WE DEMAND!! even as we accept powerlessness. 

Got some demands you can make with your HP?   ((((hugs)))) evileye

Its heartbreaking jerry. I think about my higher and I dont have demands. I cant see the bigger picture, the bigger lessons way beyond my understanding. I think about the mothers and fathers In the news report with pain on their faces and I dont think I would be able to think that way if it was my children but whats the alternative? I think their higher power will be there for them in their time of need. Im going to say a prayer and send out my thoughts.x

 I've commanded....didn't get anywhere, but I did.....i have yelled MANY times    STOP IT!!!  STOP the predation of man vs his own kind and children????? yea, i heard about that and was sickened.........this is perhaps my biggest reason why i doubt anything higher than me and what part of the universe is IN ME......the refusal to intervene in heinous events..........i have a good friend....he de-converted...hes an atheist now........too much  pain and suffering in this world....i told this same friend that i look within me....only within me....these maggots who did this to the little ones, i was at work today and my friend who is off.mgr and i were talking about this.....the love of the universe can't work if man does not surrender to love and peace....can't happen,  so i try to be a vessel of it myself in my little world...that is all i can do....
