There is a lot of PTSD involved in losing a child. That’s what Barb told me, at least. Barb used to be my therapist, my one and only. See, I went through a period, right after placing my mom in a long-term care center, where I felt unhinged. An utter failure. A wasted void of nothingness. I sought out Barb at the behest of my husband, who surely felt whatever it was I needed was not in his wheelhouse. Barb said it was misplaced fear. Basically, there are things we cannot fix. In that moment, that unrepairable thing was my mother. Yet, it took me back to another time when I couldn’t make something right, where I faced down a monster and didn’t win. Barb said I would have to be careful in the future. There will be many monsters to face. Each time that happens, I will undoubtedly find myself standing in the PICU waiting room on the 6th floor of a hospital, that feeling of inescapable dread building to a crescendo, waiting for them to tell me my daughter isn’t coming home.

I can almost imagine your answer to my question, but I'm not willing to give up social media. How can I stop comparing myself to others on social media?

White Rock Center closed in 2016 (after an exciting opening in 1973, the year I graduated from E. T. S. U. and began teaching in F. H. S.) and had thrilled skaters for more than 40 years. It is now for sale if you have a spare six or seven million dollars and a feel for fun, food, excitement, and romance! I remember skating there once; I remember falling more than once, and I remember that there was a “MONEY MACHINE” that “blew out” mostly onedollar bills, but also some larger, for the lucky “birthday boy or girl” to try to pull out of the pulsing drafts! The rink was close to White Rock Lake; I think there was access to the roof, and it was quite the glamourous place to go— don’t know why I only went once!
