Comments on: Holding On and Letting Go: A Mother’s Story http://michellezive.com/2009/08/24/holding-on-and-letting-go-a-mothers-story/ Michelle Zive Mon, 02 Jan 2012 03:03:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Christine http://michellezive.com/2009/08/24/holding-on-and-letting-go-a-mothers-story/comment-page-1/#comment-6 Christine Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:46:38 +0000 http://michellezive.com/wptry/?p=9#comment-6 Michelle, What a beautiful and sad story. I, like you, felt a terrible loss when my 1st born left for school. It seemed so unnatural for him to leave. Part of it made no sense to me at all, it is just what society tells us to do....... go OFF to college after high school. The Mother in all of us wants and sometimes needs to, hold on. It has been tough for my son also, and he will actually admit that being away is difficult. I found it interesting that you endured a lot of physical pain to counter balance the emotional pain you were having. It is all about finding the right balance. Thank you for sharing. Christine Michelle,

I think this illustrates the beauty, or should I say torture, of the female brain. Nurturing and empathy are ingrained in us - you especially. Keep writing, I'll keep reading Michelle,

I can relate. When my daughter went off to college I also had a hard time adjusting. I found talking to other moms comforting. Thank you for writing this. I can relate.
