Thank you all for your kind words, sympathy, and prayers for this family.
I just said a hail mary and an our father for each and every one of them.
I am not a very religious person but I do pray and believe in God. I know that she is in a better place but again I just feel for those wondrful children. Thankfully they have family that loves them and will take care fo them.
As for my scary thoguths and things. It all seems so petty now since this happened. Yes it still makes me think, Why and How and WHY??
But not like it used to.
I know who I am, a loving, sensitive, caring human being and hearing stories like this breaks my heart because I just can't fathom anything like that..
That is a CLEAR sign and indication that I would never act on something like that or hurting myself or anything...
I love life and I know that life is precious and we need to take every moment and live it as if it were our last.
Those petty things mean NOTHING>> SO do those SILLY SCARY THOUGHTS that anyone here may be suffering from.
There are people out there suffering from those types of things, to owrry about imagines scenerious seems absolutely idioc...

Tragedy hits too close to home.
that last sentence was supposed to read,
There are people out there that are sufffering from these types of tragedies and things, and to worry about imagines scenerios seems so idioc.
Sorry I was feeling expressive and not paying attention to what I was writing.
Again that all of you wonderful people here.
God bless and HUGS!

Thanks, Lenore, but I give credit to having been fortunate enough to have found that therapist. It turned out his specialty was "crisis counseling". He would go to companies if something bad happened to counsel the employees throught he trauma. He didn't know how I ended up with him and vice versa. Funny thing is, looking back, I was in crisis mode and the same tools applied. LOL.

Dear KITKAT68:
I also was blessed to have found the therapist/psychiatrist I did as well. All I can say, w/o preaching religion here, GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS. My therapist has 30+ yrs experience + 1 of the single largest practices in my state + most importantly - his speciality was TRAUMA(don't know the technical words used to describe it, lol he told me & I long forgot) = reconciling traumatic childhoods, etc type of things if I make sense this early in the morning, lol
There were a cumulative amt of things I needed to address & this man gently, precisely - guided me thru each & every one. Sure, 9/11 was a part of my PTSD - more so it was the childhood. LOL, after the intial 3 or 4 sessions, when he made his diagnosis, he also said something to me "lenore, this will be very hard & yes, you will feel more pain than you ever felt in your life(he was gentle but very honest - but not such that it frightened me into not doing it)- ethically, I couldn't say this if I didn't believe it to be true - YOU WILL DO THIS & OVERCOME THE ANXIETY DISORDER. In the end Lenore, you'll see it was you who did all the work". Well, lol lol remember, this was in the very beginning of my anxiety disorder & lord I was a mess - I also was very blunt & I came out & said to him, this very talented man w/ 30 yrs experience - a psychiatrist no less, <span class="ev_code_RED">"I think you're the one who is crazy"</span> I too don't know how it is that I ended up w/ him - I am just greatful I did - for it was him who was my guide thru all this.
I want to mention 1 last thing: I remember being in session 1 time, in the beginning. He was explained to me why we need to go back in time & I need to face my past=my childhood. I didn't want to do this - it scared me senseless. lol, heck when he said it, my knees started shaking. I was "reliving" a particular something in session & out of no where, I just stopped explaining to him while shaking "I can't do this - I'm too afraid, I can't". Well, my therapist(imagine in your mind a very elegant older man - yet quite professional)leaned forward, cupping both my hands in his strongly - looking dead in my eyes(kind of making some trusting connection I can't explain)& he said "lenore, you look at me - do you trust me? will you trust me? We will do this together - I won't alienate you thru this - I will help you thru this". Well, that did it for me. I don't know how he worked his magic as I call it, lol - he did. Fr that moment on, I did go to all the places I didn't want to - having done so - I am recovered.
Ok enough of my OPRAH MOMENTS HERE - its tooo early for this, lol. I'm just glad to have been fortunate enough to have him, to have the means to attend therapy, & blessed w/ the means to help me help myself. I'm humbled actually @ all of God's blessings.
Ok ok, I'M FOR REAL DONE NOW, no more preaching hahahahahahhaha(i'm feeling silly)
