When you have been through deep grief, joy looks different.
When you have traveled long, dusty roads, rain has a strange scent.
When you have seen the Light, life takes on a new hue.
Pinterest, how you derail me.
A link to theletteredcottage.
And a video there that makes me cry.
My tears are complex.
But I am not afraid.
That is entirely startling.
See, if you have read much of this blog, you will know that tears and I go way back.
We struggle to live peaceably.
Yet, when Joy shines brightest in my life,
We run like old friends.
Today is that day.
And the video at theletteredcottage?
See if it doesn't move you.
Even a teensy tiny bit.
The music is a killer.
All Things New
...You can make all things new
Only your power can raise us
You can make all things new
Only your love can save us
All hope is not lost
All hope is not lost
All hope is not lost
Cause you make all things new

Wow! Video was awesome and heartwarming since I am also an adoptive mom.
I saw you have PTSD. Tell me, any ideas on how to help a little boy of 5 overcome the night time screaming and terrors that go along with his diagnosis of PTSD? He is in therapy but not making headway with the night time issues.Remember from the mom board he has reflux and never slept much as a baby? Well, he's still like that!!
Blessings!!

Vit B6 will go along way in helping with the night stuff. My nutritionist had me taking 100mg 3x day till I was dreaming. Then eventually (took quite a while)we backed it down to 50mg 3x a day. I have continued to need that much.
We should have pleasant repeatable dreams. When we don't, it is an indicator of deficiency. I have given it to my children and it works amazingly.
You will know when he starts dreaming appropriately bc children will tell you about the fun stories in their sleep.
Thanks, Jessica! I'm going to try B6. We've tried many things, melatonin, calcium with magnesium, fish oils, etc etc and are getting desperate. These 1 hr screaming fits, often several times a night are so wearing!!
Moving a baby, as a newborn to 3 months old, every day or two to a strange home, while sleeping, can have devastating effects
.
Again, thank you!!
