There's no such thing as "back to normal" after trauma. You just settle into a new normal.

  I never understood that until it happened to me, but you're totally right. You just sort of learn to manage the pain...it never goes away.

  I second this. My dad died over 20 years ago and I still feel the lose some days. I still sometimes think I see him in a crowd. You never, ever get over it. Just get passed it.

    As someone dealing with my parents' shift into their "older years" and wondering about the future, I found myself quite moved by this. Thank you for sharing it.
