I watched Cocoon but not this one. I will have to give it a try.
I missed it evidently. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten one right yet!
No the pain never goes away; we just learn to cope with it a little better. I still miss my dad and think of him daily. I can still see him around the farm and coming through my front door. Even though he is physically gone, his spirit will live on as long as I breathe.
I respect you also and the strength with which you adhere to your values. It is a matter of baby steps as you say. I'm beginning those baby steps myself. Wish me luck.
Continue to heal--and a good morning to you too!
Love your picture! Happy traveling and even happier stay.
Verbalizing does help to put things in perspective and to let go.
